Thank you John. This is wonderful information. I descend from Catherine Catlett b. ca
1795 , daughter of William Catlett and his second wife, Margaret Miller?. Catherine
married Christian Miller after Christian's first wife, Elizabeth Catlett, sister to
Catherine died. So, I'm very appreciative of any information that will help sort out
the Morgan County VA/WV Catlett group. This was the group you used to refer to as the
Lost Branch of the Catlett family. Some genealogies do not put Elizabeth and Catherine as
children of William and Margaret, but it seems logical to me so until proven otherwise,
I'll keep them there.
I've made a copy of everything you sent and I'm sure it will be useful.

Subject: Re: [CATLETT] Morgan Co., WV Catletts
Thanks for posting, John! I'll be looking for a probate docket and
deeds for David (died 1834), where land should have transferred to son,
George. And same for George in 1854 (died in Maryland in Aug with one
minor son). Have probate dockets located in Allegany Co., MD (via
FamilySearch.com). Still had property in VA though and transfers from
son Daniel M Catlett& wife to William G (Gassaway?) Catlett in from 1856
to 1858, with Daniel having inherited from his father and then from his
deceased brother Foushee (the younger one, after his death in Dec 1856).
Also looking for deeds and probate records for the other Catletts in
Morgan in the 1820-1860 timeframe. Trying to untangle the tangled lines
and also try to get more specific info as to where these families were
living or where their properties were within the county.
