Catherine Phillips, born Payton (1727–1794) was a Quaker Minister, who travelled in England, Wales, Scotland, Holland and the American colonies. Her Christian name is sometimes spelt "Catharine".
Catherine Payton was born on 16 March 1727 at Dudley, Worcestershire, daughter of of Henry Payton (1671–1746), and his second wife, Ann (c.1673–1774), daughter of Henry and Elizabeth Fowler of Evesham. She did not attend school until her late teens but studied and read widely, at home. She spent much time reading to her paralysed father.
She was recognised as a Minister at Dudley Meeting around 1748, and soon started her many travels, which included a long period in the American colonies.
Catherine Payton met copper agent and widower, William Phillips in 1749 but did not marry him until 1772, when she moved to his home in Redruth, Cornwall.
She died on 16 August 1794 and was buried at the Quaker Burial Ground at Kea (now known as Come to Good) near Truro.
