Message Board Post:
I realize it has been awhile since you posted this message. Even so, The information I
have is that David came into Ohio into Medina County with his father in 1816. He later
moved to Huron County where he married Lusetta Reed. I have pictures of both their
tombstones in Huron County. According to the U.S. Census records Isaac Catlin was the one
who migrated into Medina County . I also checked this out with Medina County. In its
History Of Medina County it says "...In 1816 the familes of Carolius Tuttle, Isaac
Catlin, Nathan Marsh, Elisha Bishop, Perez and Nathaniel Rogers and James Rogers, who came
together in the spring." It also states Isaac was elected the first Justice of the
Peace...and Isaac Catlin the first Trustees." It shows he removed to Michigan and
died in 1856. ...Eunice Catlin, died in Harrisville township in 1934. I'm still
working on confirmation of other sources, but so far everything is checking out that Isaac
and Eunice was David's father. By the way, I !
can't find anywhere in any document that shows his middle name other then Burge. This
includes his tomestone, which shows " David Burge Catlin 1809- 1872." I would
like any information you have otherwise. I've documented my family tree through David
to now, six generations. pictures of grave stones for all them. I still haven't got
Isaacs. Dewey Catlin
