John Curlett (March 15, 1870 – February 3, 1944) was an American politician who served in the Virginia House of Delegates. His father, T. Spicer Curlett, also served in the House.[1]
John was born in Baltimore, Maryland, to Thomas Spicer and Susie Chilton Curlett, but he lived in Lancaster County, Virginia, for most of his early life.[2] Susie was the daughter of Ralph H. and Susan Glascock Chilton, and the Chilton family home had been along the Corrotoman River.[3]
John was a cadet at the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland.[4][5] He married Sedonia Long in 1900.[6] Sedonia died in December 1904; she had been cleaning the handle of her husband's revolver when it accidentally fired, and she died nearly a week later as a result of the wound.[7] John married Mary Russell Neale in 1915.[8][9] In his later years, he served as an inspector for the Commission of Fisheries along the Rappahannock River.[2][10][11] John died on February 3, 1944.[2]
