Abstract:
George Catchmaid, a native of England, lived in Maryland in 1652 and served as a burgess in the Virginia Assembly 1659-1660. He moved to the Albemarle region of NC about 1662 and by 1666, was speaker of the North Carolina Assembly. There was a long running controversy over Catchmaids’s land under Virginia Governor William Berkley’s rules of land ownership.
