I wish I could tell you how to prove that this George was your ancestor, but I can't
even get my ancestor Frederick's birth record. NY wasn't big on recording births
or deaths at that period.
The book I refer to was compiled by Spencer Reynolds and self-published in 1985. He had
access to alot of correspondence among Catlin cousins in the late 19th century, and I find
his records to be reasonably accurate. The book is apparently only available in
Connecticut, at the state library, the Historical Society, and two other places in
Middletown and Litchfield.
Good luck with your search!
