OTHER CATLETTS.

_______

In the census of North Carolina for 1790 there occurs, in the Halifax District, Franklin county, the name of Laborne Catlett, with one white male over 16 years of age, one white male under 16 and one white female.

In the census of South Carolina for 1790 one finds in the Cheraw District the name of John Catlett with one white male over 16 years of age, one white male under 16, and four white females.

Allusion has already been made to a John Catlett who patented lands in Burke County, Ga., in 1767, and in 1774 John and Wm. Catlett protesting against action of the “Liberty Boys” in the same county. Again, a John Catlett matriculated in the University of Pennsylvania in 1779 and graduated in 1782, and recently information has been sought by the authorities of that institution as to whether he was from Virginia or Kentucky . Up to this date no member of the Catlett family is recorded as having gone to Kentucky , and yet there is no record of such a student from Virginia . Is it possible that he was the son of the John who was in Burke County, Ga., in 1767?

It is difficult to place all of the above without assuming more descendants of David and Elizabeth Catlett, or of Thomas Catlett, the minor son of the immigrant, yet careful examination of all the early records fails to throw any light on this subject.

There is a large family in Georgia , Arkansas , and Mississippi , that have records showing descent from a John Catlett of Greenville District, S. C. The legend goes that Wm. And John, sons of John, left orphans early in life, were adopted by two men who subsequently “fell out” and John’s “boss” took him to Kentucky from whom probably descends Ja sper L. Catlett of Vincennes , In. (which see).

After Wm was grown he moved to Ja ckson County, Ga., where he married Olivia N---------. About 1825 they moved to Walker County, Ga., and settled Pidgeon Mt. and opened a road across the mountain in the direction of Lookout Mountain , now called “Catlett’s Gap.”

William died in 1856. They had nine children, viz:

(1) Wm. d. 72 years old in Walker Co., Ga., leaving five sons and two daughters, whose descendants are living, mainly in Logan Co. Ark. viz (a) Berry, d., mar. ------ -------; (b) Calvin, d. mar. ------- -------; (e) (sic) Washington , mar. -------Morgan and had Lance, Reuben, Martha and Mary; (d) Lance mar -------Fuller; (e) Posey, mar. -------Fuller; (f) Frances mar.

AN INDIANA BRANCH.

The following extract from the letter of Mr. Ja sper L. Catlett, of Vincennes , Ind. , does not fully coincide with the facts given above, but shows a similar origin of his branch and an entire ignorance of his grandfather. It is, therefore, uncertain whether his father came from this same branch. The occurrence of the unusual name of Ja sper in both branches may be suggestive of similar origin:

Vincennes , Ind. , Feb. 14, 1916.
Wm. C. Stubbs, New Orleans , La.

Dear Sir -----My father’s people originally came from Virginia to Kentucky or Tennessee , and his father died, when he was an infant in one of these States. His mother came North to this city with him and he was taken and raised by a man by the name of Timms, and practically spent his entire life near this city. After becoming of age he learned the blacksmith trade and followed it for 3 or 35 years, and then went to farming on a farm in Illinois , which we still own.

He was born in 1820, and was about 60 years old when he died. There are four of us children ----- Jasper L., Harlen, Emma and John. I was born in 1860.

As for grandparents on my father’s side, I have no trace of them, as I said before he was only a small child when his father died.

Hoping to hear from you, I am, Yours truly,

J. L. CATLETT

_____

Dr. H. D. Catlett, of West Monroe , La. , has given the following imperfect account of his branch, with the request that I write his mother for fuller information. Several letters addressed to his mother has failed to elicit a response, hence this incomplete account is given.

His grandparents were William Catlett and Louisa Culpepper with many children, among them his father, W. Simson Catlett,

John, of Jessamine County , Ky.-----early in the history of Kentucky a John Catlett went from Virginia to Jessamine County , KY. His descendants are numerous and scattered throughout Kentucky . Mr. John L. Catlett of Coburg , KY. , who has recently lost his wife leaving him six young children, says he is the son of Ja mes who had, besides himself, four sons and five daughters; that Ja mes was the son of Charles and grandson of John, the immigrant to Jessamine county, Ky. He says that this John had also five sons and five daughters. Among those whose names he recalls, besides his grandfather Charles, are Washington , died in Kentucky ; Richard, went to Illinois and Eliza and Betsie, of the daughters.

He refers me to Geo. Catlett of Washington County , KY. , as one of the descendants of John who could give fuller information, but letters to him are still unanswered.

The names of Chares and Ja mes suggest descent from Charles of Frederick County, Va., the son of Ja mes who early patented lands in Jefferson county, KY., which were sold after his death by his son Charles and other children.

Mr. Wm. B. Catlett, of Inverness, Miss., writes as follows:

I am sorry to say that I know nothing of my fathers people. He married my mother, Julia Bradley in Franklin County , Miss. , about 1869. They only had two children-----myself and a little girl, who lived only a few months. My mother died when I was about three years old, after which my father and I made our home with my mothers relatives. My father died in 1882, when I was only eleven years old. I don’t remember ever hearing him speak of his early life, but I think now that there must have been some reason why he never talked of the past. He was very quiet and reserved. * * * I have pictures of him and specimens of his handwriting. My father’s name was Robert C. Catlett. I would be very glad if I could trace his ancestry back, and if you can give any information I would appreciate it very much. Please let me hear from you at once. Yours truly, W. B. Catlett

Mr. Catlett has a son, Robert, who lives with him. No definite information has been secured of Mr. Catletts ancestry.

THE FOLLOWING CATLETTS HAVE NOT BEEN PLACED:

Albert C. Catlett, major 3rd Tenn. Cavalry, U. S. A., in Civil War.

Robert. Catlett, of London , Sevier county, Tenn. , to whom letters addressed have been unanswered.

In the Louisville , Ky. , City Directory the following names occur, but letters to each have failed to elicit further information:

Henry D. Catlett, manager, r. 3005 Grand avenue.

Jno. W. Catlett, inspector Sou. Ry. Co., r. 2619 W. Walnut street

Jno. E. Catlett, r 1013 S. Floyd street .

Van R. Catlett, r. 1463 Hazel street .

It is extremely annoying to know that there are members of this family who could throw much light upon their branches, and thus aid in completing a record of this large family, who will not respond to repeated inquiries for information.

Therefore the writer closes this pamphlet, which he as spent many years in preparing, with much regret at its incompleteness; but, injustice to so many of its members who have feely given full information, he cannot longer withhold it for publication.

It is, therefore, presented to the Catlett Family with many thanks and many regrets.
