Grace T. Katon (maiden name: Barker) was born around 1814 in Maine. She married Alexander T.

They lived in Pittston, Maine, and her husband worked as a farmer. By 1860, they owned $1,200 of real estate and $416 of personal property. Her husband served in the Civil War, and he died on July 8, 1862. She applied for a widow’s pension in September 1862 and eventually received one.
