She eloped with Samuel Bayard Malcolm on May 14, 1803.So she took a page from three of her older siblings’ book and eloped!!!.Between her mother’s death and her father’s illness, Caty likely decided she didn’t want to make a big deal out of getting married….Her mother died in 1803, when Caty was 22 :’(.She read to him when he couldn’t read himself As her father grew more and more ill, she stayed at home with him and took care of him.She has a portrait done of her sitting at a piano-forte when she was about 15.(And implies that Philip did, too, because he relates to her struggles with social situations in the letter).The letter implies that she may have had social anxiety.At one point, Philip Schuyler writes to her about social situations.Philip Schuyler was super excited when she expressed an interest in geography and told her he’d get her whatever books and supplies she needed to study it :’).By this point, Angelica and Eliza had pretty established households in the city, so she lived with them.When she was a bit older, she went to NYC to be tutored, like her older sisters had done so many years ago.She was educated at what is now the Albany Academies (really prestigious and expensive school in Albany).It makes sense that he’d spoil her, since she’s his youngest by about seven years, and she’s the last child at home.(But she deserved it bc she’s a sweetie!!!).From all the receipts I’ve seen, I think Philip Schuyler absolutely spoiled this kid omfg.She’s a godchild of George and Martha Washington!!!.Lil Caty was baptized at the Dutch Reformed Church in Albany on March 4, 1781.Angelica has two children who are older than her youngest sister.Mom Catharine was about eight months pregnant with Caty when Eliza and Ham got married at the Schuyler Mansion!!!.
(Moment of silence for Mom Catharine, man).She actually shares a birthday with Angelica!!!.She is the fifteenth (eighth surviving) and final Schuyler child!.Because the Schuylers apparently love to confuse people, she is named entirely for her mother–– her mom’s maiden name is her middle name (Van Rensselaer).Catharine Van Rensselaer Schuyler, aka Caty, was born on February 20, 1781.*takes a deep breath* LET ME TELL YOU ALL ABOUT CATY SCHUYLER!!!!
