Catherine Phillips, born Payton (16 March 1727 – 16 August 1794) was a Quaker Minister, who travelled in England, Wales, Scotland, Holland and the American colonies. Her Christian name is sometimes spelt "Catharine". ==Biography== Catherine Payton was born at Dudley, Worcestershire, the daughter of Henry Payton (1671–1746), and his second wife, Ann (c.1673–1774), daughter of Henry and Elizabeth Fowler of Evesham. She did not attend school until her late teens but studied and read widely, at home. She spent much time reading to her paralysed father. She was recognised as a Minister at Dudley Meeting around 1748, and soon started her many travels, which included a long period in the American colonies. Catherine Payton met William Phillips, a copper agent 〔A Copper Agent managed a copper mine in Cornwall.〕 and widower, in 1749 but did not marry him until 1772, when she moved to his home in Redruth, Cornwall. She died on 16 August 1794 and was buried at the Quaker Burial Ground, Come-to-Good, in the parish of Kea, near Truro. Her stepson, James Phillips, a Quaker printer, published her ''Memoirs'' and some other writing after her death. James's sons, Richard Phillips (1778–1851) and William Phillips (1775–1828) were Fellows of the Royal Society. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Catherine Payton Phillips」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
