Suggested edit: my mother, Norma (Custer) Rice, had done extensive research on the Custer family spanning over 40 years when she passed away in 2013. I have cases of papers, many redundant from her access to a personal printer which I am trying to weed through to the bare bones........quite a task.

This is what I located for "Katy" Valentine

I am not sure what some of the codes are for and perhaps it was her own personal tree file that she is referencing but my mother was such a stickler for documentation..(something that I DID NOT inherit in my genes)

But take it for what it is and if you would like to add it to this memorial, you have my permission...

Researching this far back in time takes considerable time and resources. Much of the antiquities are getting lost through the ages.
