[William Catlett, the testator, was probably a brother of John Catlett, the elder, of Sittingbourne, Kent, gent., who appears to have been grandfather of Jno. Catlett of Virginia. George Catlett, of Blackwall, named in the will, was a son of John Catlett, the elder. John Catlett, who emigrated to Virginia, owned lands at Sittingbourne and Radmersham, which were sold by his son John about 1701. Dr. and Mrs. W. C. Stubbs of New Orleans, have, it is understood, a genealogy of the Virginia Catletts nearly ready for publication.]
