Catherine Montour
Catherine Montour, also known as Queen Catherine (died after 1791), was a prominent Iroquois leader living in ''Queanettquaga,'' a Seneca village of ''Sheaquaga
'', informally called Catharine's Town, in western New York. She has often been confused with Elizabeth "Madame" Montour, her aunt or grandmother who was a noted interpreter and adviser to the governor, and with "Queen Esther" Montour, usually described as her sister.〔Sivertsen, 114. Sivertsen argues that Esther was not Catharine's sister, as is usually said, but a relative by marriage.〕 Several places in western New York were later named in her honor, after most of the Iroquois had been forced to cede their lands and were driven out of the region.
==Early life==
Catherine was likely born in Pennsylvania or New York as the daughter of Marguerite Fafard Turpin, an Iroquois-French métis also known as Margaret Montour or "French Margaret." Margaret was either the daughter or niece of Madame Montour. Catherine's father was ''Katarioniecha,'' also known as Peter Quebec. He was described as a Caughnawaga Mohawk, referring to converted Catholic Mohawk who lived in the Jesuit mission village now known as Kahnawake. It was founded south of Montreal across the St. Lawrence River in Quebec in the early 18th century.〔Sivertsen, 110.〕
Catherine had a sister named Mary (or Molly), and two brothers: Andrew Montour and Nicholas Quebec.〔 (Her brother Andrew should not be confused with Andrew Montour (c. 1720–1772), who was the son of Elizabeth "Madame" Montour and was probably Catharine's uncle. He was a well-known interpreter in the backcountry of Pennsylvania and Virginia.)
