Catharine Littlefield Greene
Catharine Littlefield "Caty" Greene Miller (17 February 1755 – 2 September 1814) was the wife of the American Revolutionary War general Nathanael Greene, mother of five and noted for being a supporter of the inventor Eli Whitney.
==Early life and the Revolutionary War==
Catharine Littlefield was born on February 17, 1755, off the coast of Washington County, Rhode Island, on Block Island, where her family had settled in the 1660s.
Beginning in 1772, She was courted by Nathanael Greene, a fellow Rhode Islander a dozen or so years her senior. The couple was married in July of 1774, but less than a year later Greene was called to war. Catharine Greene had not yet settled into a comfortable life with her husband, their home in Coventry, Rhode Island, not having yet been completely furnished. Caty, as she was called, dreamed of spending cold winter nights with Nathanael, reading to each other by the firelight, surrounded by their children. She was energetic and independent, but she looked to her husband to take charge and make the decisions. With his involvement in the war, she was forced to assume the role of head-of-household.
