==== Brief Timeline ====
In 1884 The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints- Mormons, came into the Nation.  By late 1884, 2/3 of them were baptized. The mobs and persecution became very bad and two Elders were shot and wounded and beaten around the homes of many Catawba Saints. In 1887, 26 of those converted, went west with Elder John Morgan and his other southern Saints.  The 26 were from five families, Patterson,Canty,Head,Harris and Tims and took nearly half the tribe. This left any houses and other possessions to those left behind.  The 5 families went to Colorado, Manassa and then Sanford, Colorado. One other family left at the same time, Lillie Susan Harris Ballard and her family went to Oklahoma, they were not involved with the Church. Another family went to Cedar City Utah, the Evans and Lucy Marsh Watts family.  It is not known yet, whether they came with Morgan or not.
