Older sister of the composer's brother-in-law, Lev Davydov (b. 1822; d. 1898), born Yekaterina Vasilyevna Davydova (Екатерина Васильевна Давыдова); known after her marriage as Yekaterina Vasilyevna Peresleni (Екатерина Васильевна Переслени).
Yekaterina was the third child of Vasily Lvovich Davydov (1792–1855) and his wife Aleksandra Ivanovna (b. Potapova, 1802–1895), and an older sister of the composer's brother-in-law, Lev Davydov (1837–1896). She married Vladimir Mikhaylovich Peresleni, and had five children: Aleksandra (1862–1937); Vadim; Yevgeny (1860-1942); Nikolay (d. 1914); and Sofya.
Tchaikovsky often visited Yekaterina and her family when he lived in Moscow during the 1870s, and remained friendly with them throughout his life.
