Here is my Catlett line. My descent is through Louisa
who married Peter Senseney I am uncertain if the
lineage is correct going backward from John & Allie T.
(King) Catlett. Can anyone verify the progenators of
John Catlett (1749 - 1826?):

FAMILY INFORMATION: John Catlett immigrated from
Sittingbourne, England, 1650. His son, Nicholas, & two
half-brothers, Ralph & Edward Rowsie, came with him.
His son, Thaomas, came later. His second wifge was
Elizabeth Underwood, the widow of Captain Francis
Slaughter. They had four children.
From Wills of Rappahannock County, Virginia, 1656 -
1692,
pages 2 & 3, Will of Colonel John Catlett: The
first party to explore and reach the summit of the Blue
Ridge Mountains was led by Colonel John Catlett, of
Rappahannock County, as gleaned from An Account Of
Virginia, communicated to the Royal Society in 1676,
by Mr. Thomas Glover, An ingenious chirurgion that
hath lived some years in that country. (Blackwells
reprint, Oxford, 1904). There was a Colonel Catlett,
that was a good mathematician, who with some other
gentlemen took a journey to make some further
discoveries of the country to the westward and arriving
at the foott of the mountains early in the morning,
they left their horses and endeavopured to gain the
tops of the mountains, which they accomplished about 4
oclock in the afternoon, and then looking further
forward they discovered other mountains, whereof they
took the altitude and judged them innaccessible; which
discouraged them from any further attemppts, their
design being chiefly to discover whether there were
any rivers that ran into the south ocean.
Colonel Catlett married prior to 5 January
1663/64, Elizabeth, the widow of Captain Francis
Slaughter. Deeds & c., 1656 - 1664, Page 326.
According to Doctor & Mrs. William Carter Stubbs
in A History of Two Virginia Families Transplanted
From County Kent, England. Colonel Catlett was killed
by
indians while defending a fort at Port Royal, 1670.
By his will he left his daughters, Elizabeth & Sarah
Catlett, 600 acres of land in Rappahannock County which
he had purchased of Henry Corbin, Esq., & Alic,e his
wife, , in 1667. This land had been patented to John
Gillet, 28 September 1657, & passed to Thomas Button on
his marriage to Jane, widow of John Gillet. They sold
the land to Henry Corbin, Esq., 12 May 1664. Deeds & c.
1686 - 1692, pages 58, 395, 396. Elizabeth & Sarah
Catlett married brothers, Francis & Robert Taliaferro.
On the 5 September 1687, francis Taliaferro, Gent., &
Elizabeth, his wife, conveyed to John Battaile, of
Rappahannock County, 300 acres being one-half of the
land left by Colonel John Catlett in his will to
daughters Elizabeth & Sarah. Deeds & c. No. 7, Page
508; Order Book 1686 - 1692, page 25, Colonel Catletts
widow, Elizabeth, married in 1672, to Reverend Amory
Butler. Book #5, 1672 - 1676, page 40. Mrs. Elizabeth
Butler, in her will, names her children, Francis
Slaughter; Sarah, John, Elizabet & William Catlett.
Cousins: Captain Thomas Hawkins, Wm. Underwood, Bro. &

Hi all.
I'm very impressed with all of the research some of you have done. I would
like to go back to Tennessee with my CATLETT family, but haven't yet been
able to do so.
My Catletts were born in Ohio and moved to Missouri along the way. I have a
"John Catlett" who was born in Ohio in about 1837 or so and I believe he had
a few brothers and that they were orphans. The 1850 Seneca Township, Monroe
County, Ohio census has what I believe to be Catlett brothers living in
various households. My John Catlett was 12 years old in the 1850 census and
is listed as a "boarder" in the John Goodhart family. There is also a
Henry Catlett, aged 10, living with another non Catlett family in the same
township (Seneca) which only has 18 families in it (according to an Ohio
researcher) so I think it's a pretty good guess that they were brothers,
however Henry is listed as being born in IN not OH.
I'm looking for whatever happened to John's parents and who they were. I
have traced John's descendants all the way to me and it is fairly well
documented (I think). I'd like to hook up with other Catlett researchers
who are in Ohio around that time - perhaps there is a connection to the
farther back TN Catlett's.
Any help (and believe much has been given to me) would be appreciated.

Subject: [CATLETT-L] William O Catlett, d 1886 Iowa
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed
I've been lurking for a while. I started studying geneology more than 20
years ago as part of a school project, but didn't do much again until about
three years ago. Our older child, Matthew age 10, is very interested in
geneology, so we are working together to fill in the huge-big family
tree. One of my grandmothers has done a lot, and my husband's cousin Jack
Stidham has tracked that family down to its origins in North America. So
we are left to fill in the gaps.
I am descended from William O Catlett who first shows up in Lexington,
McLean County, Illinois. In the 1850 census his place of birth was listed
as Virginia. He married twice: In 1849 Elizabeth G. Whitelock who had two
children, Thomas G Catlett born 1850 (though on the 1850 census he is given
as Thomas G Whitelock) and Amelia Evelyn called "Eva" my ancestress born
1852. Elizabeth died in childbirth I think. In 1855 William married Alice
C Mahan, daughter of the abolitionist John Bennington Mahan. Catletts,
Whitelocks and Mahans were all neighbors in the 1850 and 1860
censuses. Alice and William had several children: Edward W, Eva Viola,
Horace S and Mary E. I know the family moved to Iowa, where William died
in 1886. He had been a Union soldier in the Civil War, and also apparently
was part of the guard when Lincoln's body went from Chicago to
Springfield. His wife Alice and son Edward are listed on the Civil War
pension registration card.
My Eva married John Blaine Wright and moved to Minnesota and Canada and
then Minnesota (he was a carpenter, I think they followed the work). She
died in Chico, California in 1912, just a few days before her husband died
in Minnesota. I think she was in California to help her son Frank Wright
and daughter in law Eva Granville, and other son, Fred C Wright and his
wife Margaret Murphy (who lived in nearby Susanville).
WHAT I HOPE TO LEARN: Where did William O Catlett come from? Why was he
in Illinois? He was an abolitionist, I am pretty sure. Did any of his
brothers/sisters accompany him to Illinois? Who were his parents...?
Anyway, hello!

Welcome to the list, hope that you and Matthew get something from the postings
and very happy to see one so young (as Matthew) interested in his family's
history.

Do you have an approximate ate of birth for William and his wives?

Do you know if he applied for a pension or did Alice apply for a widow's
pension? Have you viewed the pension file? In which unit did he serve?
I live near enough the National Archives that I'd be happy to examine his
pension file and military service record if you haven't done so yet.

The pension file may answer one or more of your questions.
I've done a cursory search of my database and don't find a William O Catlett
who fits your guy, but I did a search on locality and may have some clues or
answers for you. Unfortunately, the program crashed (am running a MS IE
update, along with some other programs and a bit short on free disk space, so
I probably stressed my computer more than its capable of right now). Will run
the report again later tonight or tomorrow night.
