Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A History of Two Virginia Families Transplanted From County Kent, England: Thomas Baytop, Tenterden, 1638, and John Catlett, Sittingbourne, 1622
In all, several hundred letters have been written and many responses obtained. In addition, court records, land books and family Bibles - yes, even cemeteries, with their almost forgotten tombstones - have been levied upon for information. With all these aids, much valuable data have been collected and arranged, and, while thoroughly conscious of incompleteness, it is deemed best to publish what has been obtained.
When this investigation beg-an it was deemed an easy task. Since beyond our immediate branch, few members of the Catlett names were known to us, but, as our researches extended, family after family, branch after branch, were revealed, until our correspondence extended to nearly every State in the Union. With the revelations already made, it is safe to say that the number of descendants of the original immigrant, Col. John Catlett, now living in this country reach far into thousands. The name is purely English.
