In the SGS database we have Charles Delbert Seeley b. 1858 Seneca Co NY, married 1882 Allegan Co MI to Sarah Elizabeth Weaver, died 1951 Thurston MI. He was a son of William Seely and Harriet Louise Worden. William is SGS# 3507. So Katherine’s line is Katherine, Delbert Charles, Delbert Edwin, Charles Delbert, William, Daniel Joseph, John, John, Samuel, Jonas, Obadiah.

This was all a bit confusing because of multiple marriages. It looks like Annie Rhines was md 1^st to Lester Donaldson, then to Delbert Charles Seeley, then to Hermes Brown.

Meanwhile Delbert Charles Seeley was md 1^st to Helen Merrifield, then to Annie Marie Rhines Donaldson, then to Odis Hartman.
