Hi Lorri,
I am looking for documents that might have belonged to Julius Catlin (1798-1888). Julius
connects to my family of Lathrops as follows:
In December of 1839 Julius Catlin of Connecticut (1798-1888) served as president of a
Young Democrats convention in Connecticut. My great, great grandfather, Philip Lathrop,
was a delegate to that convention. Julius wrote a newspaper notice soon after this
convention stating that several of the young attendees were going west before the
election and he gave the reasons for their departure. Philip Lathrop was one of these
young men who were going west. Because of this and and other reasons, I think there could
be more than attendee and President relationship between the two. Philip is my brick
wall, and I have been searching without success for information about his parentage.
Maybe Julius Catlin has a key to my research.
Thanks,
Keith Lathrop
ps. I have several newspaper clippings like notices and ads put in the paper by Julius so
if anyone wants a copy please let me know.
