Katherine NORTH fl.1729
Biographical Note
Fourth (?) daughter of the lawyer, politician and writer Roger North and Mary Gayer of Rougham, Norfolk. Her father made some financial provision for her in his will, and on his death she probably came under the guardianship of her cousin, Francis North.
Books
She had a printed book label ('E Libris / Katherine North / Her Book 17 ')(Lee 494), similar in style of that used by her brother Montague. An example in the Franks Collection has the manuscript completion of '29' to indicate a year of acquisition.
