For many years the author of this pamphlet has been collecting
data relative to the Catlett family of the United States. So far
as our extensive investigations have been made, the only immigrants
of this name to this country at any time were Col. John and his
two minor sons, Nicholas and Thomas, who came over in 1650 and
settled on the Eappahannock Eiver in Virginia. Therefore every
one bearing this name must trace his descent back to Col. John
or his two minor sons. Mr. W. G-. Stannard, Editor of the Virginia
^.., Historical Magazine and Secretary of the Virginia Historical So-
Y ciety — the highest authority on Virginia genealogies — entertains
)^ the same opinion. With this opinion, every one bearing this name,
^- wherever found, has been requested by letter (sometimes several),
to give all the information possessed or obtainable, of her or his
branch and its history. Many of these letters are still unanswered,
■ and therefore no additional information obtained. It is reasonably
certain that a goodly number of families of this name scattered
throughout the country are still unrevealed, and therefore cannot
be named in these pages.
