West Virginia is located in the Appalachians and was originally part of Virginia. The capital and largest city is Charleston. It became a state during the Civil War and was admitted to the Union on June 20, 1863.

William Catlett was born about 1695 in Lancaster County, Virginia. He was the son of David Catlett and Mary Bathurst.

William's children may have included:

James Catlett
John Catlett (1716),
Ruth Catlett (1717, married John Lemen),
Robert Catlett (1721, married Mary Floyd),
Peter Catlett (married Ann Calmes).

Some of the Catletts were early settlers in, what is now, the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia.

William died about 1788 in Frederick County, Virginia.
