Looking for the parents of two brothers, Nathan and Isaac CATLETT, who
moved from the Morgan Co. area in 1817 to Hardin/LaRue County KY. Nathan
Catlett was born in Berkeley Co in December of 1788. Isaac CATLETT was
born either in 1802 or 1803 in Berkeley Co or in Maryland. Family stories
say that the father had disowned Nathan for marring a german girl from
Jefferson Co. Supposedly the father died about 1816 at which point the
two brothers went to KY. The stories state that the mother was of French
stock and may have remarried and moved out to Indiana.

There were many CATLETTs living in northern Frederick County VA,just below the MORGAN County line. One of them married our Mary Hinkle in 1841. Have you looked in Frederick Co, VA? Don Harrington

1998 is probably too long to expect an inquiry, but here goes. Did you ever find out who the parents of nathan and Isaac were?

I have yet to discover the parents of Nathan & Isaac Catlett. I am pretty sure that Isaac was born in the Sleepy Creek area of Morgan Co. WV. I did transcribe the personal property tax rolls from about 1783 to about 1820, since Nathan & Isaac left the area about 1816, in the hopes of finding the father of the two brothers. I've attached a sample below. Let me know if you have any other suggestions or ideas
