Hi everyone:
I thought it is as good a time as any to drop a line or two to the list.
My main Catlett question is: who are the parents of Nathan and Isaac Catlett?
Nathan was born in Berkeley Co {W}Va in 1789, parents unknown. Isaac was
born in either Va or Md between 1801 and 1805, depending on which federal
census you believe.
The family story is that Nathan was disowned by his father for marrying a
german girl and that the father then died in 1816. I have found no
evidence for the story at this point. What I do know is that Nathan
appears to be living in Hampshire Co. in 1815 per the Personal Property Tax
Rolls. Then in 1816 Nathan jumps the Potomac River into Maryland and
marries a "german" girl from Jefferson Co. {W}Va. After the marriage the
newlyweds head west to Hardin/LaRue Co. Ky taking the little brother along
to help drive the cattle across the mountains.
Most of my Catlett family from Nathan and Isaac to the present is pretty
well documented. It is the names of the Parents of Nathan and Isaac that
have me stumped.
I have collected a fairly large pile of information on the Catletts of the
Northern Neck and Valley. Unfortunately I still have a long ways to go
towards getting everything organized, mostly because of the lack of time
and energy.
I will be glad to help others in any small way that I can. It may not be
much, but I am willing.
If you wish more information; please see my web page, the URL is posted
below, for pedigree charts.
Thanks
John
