I am looking for info about Jesse Clyatt
(b 1793? in GA) who md Rhoda Harvey before
1805. Jesse was probably the son of John
Clyatt (b 1700-ish, immigrated around 1736,
born in England). Jesse's family
obtained land draws and moved first to Al,
then to MS and finally on to Tx.

Jesse Cliett was b ca 1770's married Rhoda HARVEY 1790 in Richmond Co.,GA. I believe that he had dtr, Mary, born ca 1800, who married John B. BLACKSTONE 1817 Warren Co.,GA. Another child "known" is Thomas Harvey Cliett, who m Jensy ROWE 1817 in Warren Co.,GA. This fellow did settle in TX and died there 1868(according to several of his descendents) Please join us in our Cliett www.genforum.com/cliett discussions. There are several of us researching the Cliett/Clyatt family of GA.

Thanks for your reply; your information
matches mine about Thomas Harvey Cliett.
Does anyone know any early (English or
Scottish) history of the Cliett/Clyatt
families? One of my sources thinks that
maybe the Cliatt name could be a mispelling
of the name Culiatt. This family was in the
Carolinas at about the same time as a John
Clyatt. I also found a reference to two
Clyatt men that had attended two universities
in England in the late 1600's. I haven't been
able to find out anything else about them.
Does anyone think that the Clyatt families
could have been part of the Huegonots that
came from France? And who was the Thomas
Clyatt that was an indentured servant
to Thomas Hird at Fort Fredrerika/Battle of
Bloody Marsh? There are just too many Thomases!
I'd love to get some more ideas about out family
history.

Cliett/Clyatt Family in America

Karen, I only have 2 references, both obtained from a now deceased Cliett researcher, re Early Cliett immigrants to US.
(1)"John Clyatt immigrated to VA or MD from England, arriving in Feb of 1732 at the age of 18 by the exchange of London, he was the son of Edward Clyatt of St. Bartholomews. John was a barber and a wigmaker". Taken from "Immigrants to America 1718-1759" by Jack Miriam Kamenkow.
(2)"Thomas Clyat apprentice to Thomas Hird embarked 14Ict 1735 arrived Feb. 1736" Taken from: "passengers and Immigration Index" Part I,.."A List of Early Settlers in Georgia" pg 10.
This last reference is probably the one you mention. Other than this, I know nothing re the CLIETT/CLYATT family in NC..and have no further reference re John Clyatt from VA or MD. I "tend to think"(ie without proof) that all the John/Jonathan Clietts of GA could have "come from" the John Clyatt mentioned in the 1st reference...would have to be a couple of generations down...Actually, I have no reference to a Thomas Clyatt in GA..do you? From whom do you descend?

Dear Gay,
Here's a copy of an e-mail from a Tom Jones,
who is also working on the Clyatt/Cliett
line. I am descended from Thomas Harvey Clyatt;
several of my family members are interested in the
Thomas Clyatt that fought at the Battle of Bloody
Marsh. At one time, these two Thomases
were thought to be the same person, but we
lack proof. The excert below contains the only
reference to Scotland that I have. I still
feel that the first Clyatts were part of a
religious movement, especially since many
of the men were chaplins or preachers.

Subject: Jesse Cliett's Origins

Hi, Karen --I've done a lot of research on
the Cliett/Clyatt families in
Georgia. Although no record directly
specifies the relationship, it
appears that your Jesse Clyatt was one of
three probable sons of a James Clyatt
who,in 1766, petitioned for 200 acres “on
head of Kioka [Kiokee] Creek," in
Richmond (now Columbia and McDuffie) County, Georgia. James was the only
person in the right place at the right time
with the right surname to
have been the father of Isaac Clyatt, born
1750-60; Jonathan Cliett, born
1766-68; Jesse Cliett, born before 1769;
Orpha Cliett, born probably
before 1773; and Elizabeth Cliett, born
probably before 1776. There were many
associations between Jonathan Cliett (who
was my ancestor) and Jesse Clyatt and their
children.
I've tried without success to learn more
about the 1766 James Clyatt and his family,
and especially to identify his parents. One
possibility for the father of James (who
must have been born about 1740) is a John
Clyat,born about 1714, (a "barber and
peruke maker") from London, who was sent to
Maryland or Virginia as an indentured servant
about 1732. John is said to have been a son
of Edward Clyat. Many of the early settlers
in this part of Georgia came from Virginia
and Maryland. Another possibility, however,
is that James descended somehow from the
"Coulliette" or "Culliatt" family,
who were in colonial South Carolina. There
also was a Robert Clyat in South Carolina as
early as 1703. (He, however, is more likely
to have been ancestor of the Clyatts who
settled in south Georgia, than those who
settled near Augusta.) In any case, back
then spelling was not standardized
except perhaps for Biblical names), so there really is no "original spelling of
the name." The above, unfortunately, is all
I can tell you about Jesse's
ancestry and the origins of the Clietts. --
Tom

Thanks for your imput.

Can anyone help me connect the following family to ancestors of Thomas Clyatt, born ?

Descendants of Thomas Clyatt


Generation No. 1

1. Thomas1 Clyatt1 was born 1814. He married Anne Frances Langley1. She was born 1809, and died 1880.

More About Thomas Clyatt:
Residence: Thomas and Anne Frances Clyatt lived in Meriwether County, Georgia

Child of Thomas Clyatt and Anne Langley is:
+ 2 i. John Thomas2 Clyatt, born December 23, 1841; died January 15, 1921.


Generation No. 2

2. John Thomas2 Clyatt (Thomas1)2 was born December 23, 1841, and died January 15, 1921. He married Rebecca A. Justice4, daughter of Nathaniel Justice and Virginia Sewell. She was born November 14, 1838, and died January 10, 1910.

Notes for John Thomas Clyatt:
J.T. Clyatt and Rebecca A. Justice (Justiss) share a common tombstone inscibed with both of their names and with "Father" and "Mother", respectively. Rebecca's father mentions her in his will as "Rebecca A. Clyatt". He mentions J.T. Clyatt as his son-in-law.

In Ruth Clyatt's letter to Eleanor Willingham January 28, 1996, she says, "Until I learn better, Bill's (her husband) line...goes like this:" and then she lists her husband, Bill Clyatt's parents as Thomas Nathaniel Clyatt, b. 1884, d. 1971, m. Buena Beatrice Littlefield b.1884, d.1941. This is consistent with the recollection of Laura Lee (Drew) Sillay, who knew him as her mother Ruby (Clyatt) Drew's "uncle Tom". However, his date of birth is inconsistent with Ruth's listing him as the son of Thomas and Anne Francis Clyatt, as Anne Francis would have been 66 years old at his birth. Thomas Nathaniel Clyatt is shown in this family tree as the son of John Thomas Clyatt and the brother of Robert Benjamin Clyatt, consistent with the recollection of Laura Lee (Drew) Sillay and with the chronology of the respective birthdates.

More About John Thomas Clyatt:
Military service: John T. Clyatt served as a Private in Company "C", 1st Georgia Regiment, C.S.A.5
Temple: J.T. Clyatt was a member of a Masonic Temple.5

Children of John Clyatt and Rebecca Justice are:
+ 3 i. Robert Benjamin3 Clyatt, born February 06, 1868; died May 21, 1925.
4 ii. Annie Clyatt5, born January 22, 1872; died September 06, 1881.

Notes for Annie Clyatt:
Annie's tombstone names her as the daughter of J.T. and R. A. Clyatt.

+ 5 iii. Thomas Nathaniel Clyatt, born 1875; died 1971.
