Obituary Online notes for Anna Catharina CLAPP
Anna Catharina Clapp was born December 21, 1773 in Guilford County, NC to Captain Jacob Clapp and Anna Barbara Foust Clapp. Catherine was baptized at Brick Reformed Church on January 9, 1774. The sponsors were John Phillip Faust and his wife, Catharina. 

It was a German custom that people were called their middle name.

Some early Neese family histories have Catharine listed as Catherine Susanna, but she was baptized Anna Catharina Clapp. Also, Adam Neese's mother is listed as Anna Catharina Holt. She is listed in Adam's baptism. 

Anna Catharina Clapp is also listed as married to John Adam Neese in the Clapp family genealogy titled "The Lineage of the Brothers, John Ludwig and George Valentine Klapp" by Richard E. Clapp. An application that was made for Catharine's father's Revolutionary War Pension incorrectly lists her as deceased before 1840. Catharine died later than that.

Catharine married John Adam Neese in Guilford County, NC in 1792.

Adam Neese died in 1845 in Guilford County, NC. His estate is on record in the North Carolina Estate Files in Raleigh, NC. Solomon Neese was the administrator of his father's estate. 

Catharine Neese died in 1846. Solomon was the administrator of her estate as well.

Listed in Adam Neese's estate were his wife, Catharine Neece, and his children:

*Solomon Neese (m. Nancy Lynn - Jan. 3, 1826) 1797 - 1881

*Sally Neese Shepherd (David) - b. 1798, m. May 28, 1825

*Elizabeth Neese Underwood (James) - b. November 11, 1804-1869; twin to Catherine; m. Aug 8, 1829

*Barbara (also known as Barbary) Neese - 1810 - 1885
