I have a Henrietta Catlett married to Marquis Calmes Richadson. Her
parents were Robert Catlett and Mary Floyd. Robert was the son of David
and David the son of Nicholas Catlett.

Hello Mike,
You probably recgnise me from the CAMPBELL-L mailing list, where I
have been
detailing every Campbell name in Nelson and Amherst Co VA up to 1860
census.
I also subscribed to Catlett-L mailing list, hoping to find some help
and
answers for Henrietta, who is confirmed a Catlett from the Clan
Campbell of
North America, meaning that they have some documentation which
convinces
them that Henrietta was truely a Catlett by birth.
I have wondered about some other ladies in our area, for example: why
would
Henry Campbell name is own son Catlett Campbell? Because the neighbor
lady
Henrietta was a Catlett? That doesn't make sense. Also, there was
rumor
that Francis Campbell of Nelson Co was married to Isabelle Catlett.
So we have 3 men named Campbell, all are neighbors in the same VA
location,
1 is married to a confirmed Catlett, as per the statement by her
daughter in
law, wife of Capt Francis Campbell of Louisa Co VA, and the other 2
ladies
are rumored to be Catlett.
So far I have not found any Catlett information which would help me in
this
specific research.
I wanted to tell you, that there apparently is a work, called"A
History of 2
Virginia Families Transplanted from Co. Kent, England." This work is
by Dr.
and Mrs. William Carter Stubbs. This work apparently covers Col. John
Catlett.
I have NOT seen this work, I live overseas, and do not have access to
libraries, except those online. But I would urge you to find this
work at a
library near you, or thru interlibrary loan.
I was hoping that some reader of this list would step in with advice or
guidance, I was hoping to avaid having to research the entire Catlett
families of colonial Virginia to find 3 ladies only. They are not my
ancestors, I am from a separate unrelated line of Campbell in Amherst
Co VA,
but because I am working on the name in total, I wanted to find more
data,
and confirmation.
I currently have at least 3 Catlett Campbells in my files, and wouold
like
to know the connection to the name.
I did enough basic research online with the family trees, to see that
Catlett and Taliaferro are very much connected, and I am also a
Taliaferro
of Amherst Co VA.
Please keep in touch, as your ancestor is in my files.
Best regards,
Lilly Martin

My 5th g-grandparents, Lawrence and Henrietta Catlett Campbell were
originally from this county, and were there prior to 1764, before
moving to
Caroline County and later, to Amherst County. Lawrence most likely met
Henrietta in the late 1750's or early 1760's in Spotsylvania County. I
would
like to find Henrietta's parents and beyond, if possible.
