(Avant, p. 175)The first party to explore and reach the summit of the Blue Ridge Mountains was led by Colonel John Catlett, of Rappahannock County, as gleaned from 'An Account of Virginia', communicated to the Royal Society in 1676 by Mr. Thomas Glover, an ingenious chirugion that hathlived some years in that country. [Blackwell's Reprint, Oxford, 1904]. Mr. Glover's account states further that 'There was a Colonel Catlett that was a good Mathmetician, who with some other gentlemen took a Journey to make some further discoveries of the Country to the Westwards and arriving at the foot of the Mountains early in the morning they left their horses and endeavored to gain the tops of the mountains which they accomplished about four o'clock in the afternoon, and then looking further forward they discovered other mountains, whereof they took the altitude and judged them inaccessible; which discouraged them from any further attempts, their design being chiefly to discover whether there were any rivers that ran into the South-Ocean...etc.' Accompanied John Lederer on his third exploration of the country west of the Blue Ridge Mountains.John was one of three commissioners to settle the boundry line between Virginia and Maryland with Edmund Scarborough and Richard Lawrence, the last a distinguished Oxford graduate. John seems to have been an expert surveyor, and the records of Maryland show much work done by him in that state.As shown by various records, John was a wealthy man, the presiding justice of Rappahannock in 1665 and was Colonel of Militia and of the Vestry. There is a tradition that Colonel John, commander of the fort near the site of the present Port Royal on the Rappahannock River, Caroline County, opposite Port Conway was slain by Indians while defending the fort. (Stubbs, p. 15) His estate was submitted for probate 7 May 1673.The records of Richmond County states that Col. John Catlett, in his will, directed his estate in England to be devoted to the education of his children in that country.The Will of Colone."³ He was born on 12 March 1625/26 at Sittingborne Parish, Kent, England.^4,5 He was the son of John Catlett and Sarah Hawkins.² John Catlett married Margaret Mary Lucas in 1642 at England.⁶ John was also listed on the Virginia Levy of 1654.⁷ John Catlett married Elizabeth Underwood, daughter of William?

     DR Richard Tilghman was born on 3 September 1626 in the Parish of St. Mary Abchurch, London, England.¹ He was the son of Oswald Tilghman and Abigail Taylor.^2,3 DR Richard Tilghman married Mary Foxley before 1650 in London, England.¹ "patents were issued, 17 January, 1659, in identical terms to Samuel Tilghman of London, mariner, and to Richard Tilghman, citizen and chirurgeon, of London, each of whom had undertaken to transport into the province twenty persons of British descent (Md. Land Office, Lib. 4,fol. 416.420). Each patent was for 1000 acres of land on Tredavon Creek."⁴ DR Richard Tilghman and Mary Foxley immigrated in 1661 to Talbot County, Maryland; aboard the "Elizabeth and Mary."^2,5 In one document, "Richard Tilghman of the Province of Maryland and Continent of Virginia, Doctor in Physick," purchased from James Coursey of Lincoln's Inn, in the County of Middlesex, Gent., a tract of 400 acres near the mouth of the Chester Rive"r. on 28 July 1663.⁶ On 10 October, 1666, Richard Tilghman relinquished his original patent and obtained a certificate for the 400 acres upon which he built a plantation called the "Hermitage" and which became one of "show place" of Maryland. From there, "Dr. Tilghman attended his patients who lived along the shores of the Chester River and its tributaries in his little "batteaux" rigged with a "leg o' mutton" sail. When there was no breeze his slaves rowed the boat.^7,8 " Between 1669 and 1671 DR Richard Tilghman was High Sheriff of at Talbot County, Maryland.^7,9,4 He was buried at The Hermatige.⁴ He died on 7 January 1675 at Kent County, Maryland, at age 48.¹⁰ Richard was a eminent surgeon in the city of London before immagrating to Maryland.^2,11 He From DESCENDANTS OF TOBIAS "TOBY" SMITH AND PHEBE FAUNTLEROY Contact Walter Kenneth Smith (Ancestry.com, World Tree Project) Dr. Richard Tilghman married, in England, Mary Foxley. In Maryland, Dr. Tilghman was appointed High Sheriff of Talbot County, being apparently the first to occupy the office, which was one after the type which had existed in England. He had his difficulties both with those who resisted payment of taxes (which as such officer it was his duty to collect) as well as with those who attempted to evade payment of his surgical fees. The lack of merit in charges preferred against him, as a result of his efforts to collect taxes due, is evident from the fact of 'dismissal without pay' by the Upper House at St. Mary's (Md. Archives). He patented 'Canterbury Manor' in Talbot County, as the result of his 'Conditional Grant' but apparently never settled on that property which he sold in 1665 (Land Records of Talbot County). "On April 4, 1667 he received a confirmatory grant to 'Tilghman's Hermitage' on Chester River (then in Talbot but since 1706 in Queen Anne's) and from that nucleus extended his holdings until they included a large tract. His will is dated October 5, 1673 and was proved March 6, 1675. (1. Md. Cal. Wills 181). It mentions his sons William and Richard, and his daughter Rebecca, and his wife Mary, who is therein named executrix. Seemingly his daughter Mary is not mentioned because she was already married and provided for. He is buried at 'The Hermitage.'" "Passing along the shore of Tilghman's Neck, and coming to Tilghman's Creek, says Swepson Earle in his book 'The Chesapeake Bay Country' one must pause at 'The Hermitage,' which both from its present state and past history, may probably be considered the show place of Queen Anne County. The entrance driveway to the mansion passes for a mile through an avenue of lofty pines, the Chester River appearing in the distance through the vista. A gracefully curved cinder road shaded by giants of the forest then guides you to the mansion. Within a few feet of the front porch is the family burying-ground, in which the large marble slabs are shaded by weeping willows. In this beautifully kept resting place of the dead are buried: Dr. Richard Tilghman, the family, and a long line of descendants." Register of Maryland's Heraldic Families, page 296. (GenealogyLibrary.com) records the following:
Dr. Richard Tilghman came to Md. with his wife, Marie Foxley, and several of his children on the ship "Elizabeth and Mary" in 1657; received a grant, Aug. 23, 1659, for 1,000 acres, "Canterbury Mannour", and 1,000 acres, "Tilghman's and Foxley's Grove". The "Hermitage" was granted to him in 1666, and here he lived and died in 1675 and is buried.
