Katherine Tupper was perhaps the "Katherin" baptised at Petworth, Sussex, on 30 July 1620, daughter of a Thomas Tupper who married Agnes Wedson at Tillington in 1614 (Hilder, Nye and Shaw, NEHGR 159, 2005). At Sandwich, in Plymouth Colony, she married Benjamin Nye: "Benjamin Nye and Katherne Tupper marryed the xixth october 1640" (PCR 1:153).

The spring of 1676, in King Philip's War, took three of her family, it seems, within ten weeks. Her son Benjamin was one of the five Sandwich men killed with Capt. Michael Pierce near Pawtucket on 26 March: "Sandwich, 5 Slain. Benjamin Nye, ..." (Rev. Noah Newman's letter of 27 Mar 1676, in Soldiers in King Philip's War, pp. 359-360; see Benjamin Nye). Her father Thomas Tupper died at Sandwich two days later, on 28 March, and her mother Anne on 4 June (Sandwich records).

She lived into old age. On 9 June 1704 Benjamin Nye made a deed, as WikiTree has it, for keeping "himself, his wife Katherine and daughter Mercy in their infirmity."
