Dorothy, sometime after 1874 Catherine (nee Reynolds) married my 3rd great grandfather, Andrew Henderson, who was widowed from his first wife, Jane (McDowell) Henderson. They resided in Allamakee county. Andrew died in 1879, Catherine contested his will & took turns living with her various children from her first marriage to Ira Perry. In 1900, she was living with daughter Jane & her husband in Sugar Grove, Illinois (not far from where I am currently). She passed away in 1907 & is buried in Pleasant Grove Cemetery, near McGregor, Iowa, in Clayton county. Her & Ira's son William is also buried there, but it is confusing, as Find a Grave lists him as "Henderson" not Perry. I may have other info for you depending on what you already have.
