VIRGINIA FAMILIES
CATALPA: This name has been historical from having been the scene of the first encampment of the Minute Men and by ,being applied to a district in the county.
The place, now owned by Mr. J. C. Bell, was the seat of Major Philip Clayton, in Colonial times, and was named from a Catalpa tree, transplanted by him from Essex. He married the sister of Robert Coleman, on whose land Culpeper was built in 1759, and called Fairfax, which was its legal title before the Civil War. The first trustees of the town were: Nat. Pendleton, Wm. Green, Wm. Williams, Thomas Slaughter and Philip Clayton. Ben Davis had leased the land from Coleman, and hence the names Davis and Cole- man streets. One of the daughters of P. Clayton married Nat. Pendleton, whose son, Nat., was a Minute Man in Culpeper, after- wards aide to Gen'l Greene, and was the second of Alexander Hamil- ton in his duel with Aaron Burr. He was the ancestor of Geo. H. Pendleton, who was minister to Berlin. Another daughter of Clayton married Wm. Williams, the father of Gen'l James, Maj. John, Philip and Wm. Clayton Williams, from whom a numerous progeny has descended. Another daughter married Col. James Slaughter, the father of Captain P. Slaughter, who was born at Catalpa, December, 1758. He was living with his grandfather and going to school here to Adam Goodlet, master of the first classical school ever in Culpeper to that date, when the Minute Men met in Clayton's old field (Catalpa) in 1775.
