According to the NJ Births and Christenings 1660-1980 Catherine Jane Clawson was born on Dec. 22, 1862
in Chester, Morris Co. NJ.
Her parents are listed as William and Catherine Clawson.
(The name Catherine was misspelled Cathereni for both mother and daughter on the familysearch.org website.)

Oral history, shared by a Margeson cousin, states that my gr8 gr8 grandmother, Margaret Malinda Clawson Margeson, Katherine Jane Clawson VanSyckle's sister, was half Native American and that a lot of Native Americans relatives attended her funeral. He also states that two of his aunts told him of an Indian Princess being in the family tree. He was 8yrs. old when he attended his grandfather's funeral and he recalls a lot of Lenape Indians being present. Another Vanderbilt cousin also stated that she was told by her aunt, (the daughter of a Margeson who married a Vanderbilt), that someone married an Indian princess.
This being the case, makes Katherine half Native American, since she and Margaret shared the same parents.
The Lenape tribe were the Native Americans which occupied New Jersey. I believe Katherine's mother, Catharine Tappin Clawson, was the full blooded Native American, but I'm still researching to prove this.
