Catherine Slate m Enos Vian, son of William Vian

Does anyone know who Catherine's parents were?

I have a Daniel Slate, born about 1803 in New Jersey, he was my ggg grandfather on my mother's side. In 1850, I find him in Washington Township, Mercer County, Ohio as follows:
Danl. Slate, age 44, born N. J.
Eliz, age 40, born NJ
Thos, age 16, born NJ
Eliz. age 11, born Ohio
Mahala A., age 8, born Ohio
Jas. age 6, born Ohio
Martin, age 4, born Ohio

Mahala A. is my gg grandmother, she married William Lutts.

In 1860, they are in Richland Township, Dekalb County, Indiana. Ancestry.com translated their last name as Skeete instead of Slate. Common error.

Daniel Skeete 57 1802 New Jersey Richland, De Kalb, Indiana Male
Elizabeth Skeete 51 1808 New Jersey Richland, De Kalb, Indiana Female
Thomas Skeete 25 1834 New Jersey Richland, De Kalb, Indiana Male
Elizabeth Skeete 21 1838 Ohio Richland, De Kalb, Indiana Female
Mahala A Skeete 19 1840 Ohio Richland, De Kalb, Indiana Female
James Skeete 17 1842 Ohio Richland, De Kalb, Indiana Male
Martin Skeete 16 1843 Ohio Richland, De Kalb, Indiana Male

I was wondering if Catherine might have been one of their children, possibly born before Thomas. I have been trying to find out when Daniel and Elizabeth died and where they might be buried. In case anyone can help me, my line from Daniel is:

Daniel Slate m Elizabeth ?, married New Jersey?
Mahala Slate m William Lutts, married Dekalb County, Indiana, 1862
Mary Ellen Lutts m Clark Hamp, married Noble County, Indiana, 1887
Maude Hamp m Jesse Pierson, my grandparents, married Noble County, 1904

Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

Dawn,
Michigan
