This John was killed
"He was born before 1626, probably about 1622, and doubtless married in England before coming over, and had two sons, Thomas and Nicholas." (Stubbs, p. 13)
Col. John Catlett came to Rappannock County, Virginia(Essex County since 1692) with his son Nicholas,and his half brothers Ralph and Edward Rowzee,and sister Sarah.
"Col. Catlett was killed by the Indians while defending the fort at Port Royal in 1670. Port Royal is on the Rappahannock river, in Caroline county, VA, opposite Port Conway." (Stubbs, p. 15) "John Catlett (1622-1670), a native of Sittingbourne, Kent, England, came to Virginia in 1650, settling in Rappahannock County, on the south side of the river at the mouth of Golden Vale Creek. There is a tradition that he was killed by Indians while commanding a fort at the site of the present Port Royal in Caroline County.
"in 1671, Mrs. Elizabeth Catlett, widow of Col. Jno., gave power of attorney to Mr. Dan'l Gaines, and also later made him 'overseer of her will' and to have main charge of the children (1673). After a suit in May court, 1673, between Rev. Amory Butler (who married the widow of Col. John Catlett) and Capt. Thos. Hawkins, who married the sister of Mrs. Jno. Catlett, Dan'l Gaines took charge of the Catlett children and Rev. Butler of the estate.
All from Essex records)." (Stubbs, p. 17)
"Itemized Inventory of the Estate of JOHN CATLETT, deceased, returned to Court and recorded 17 August 1725 . . . [called 'COLONEL' in the probate by the Clerk] . . . items not evaluated . . . Includes the names of 20 slaves of whom 13 were males . . . includes the name of 'SUE' who was bequeathed to his granddaughter, MARTHA TALIAFERRO. The Inventory is signed by JOHN CATLETT and THOMAS CATLETT." (Avant, p. 172) NOTE: This appears to have come from 'Essex County, Virginia, Wills, Bonds, Inv. #4 (1722-1730) Part 1, pp. 103-104. "'Virginia Officers in 1699' - (Taken from the MS records of the Virginia Council December 9, 1698 - May 20, 1700 and now deposited in the Congressional Library) . . .' "'RALPH WORMLEY, Colonel and Commander in Chief . . . "'WILLIAM MOSELEY, Lieutenant-Colonel . . . "'JOHN CATLETT, MAJOR'"
(Avant, pp. 172-173). NOTE: His source is 'Virginia Colonial Militia,' p. 106, by Crozier. "In 1693, John Catlett and Thomas Edmondson were members of the House of Burgesses for Essex County. In 1696, John Catlett and William Moseley were members of the House of Burgesses. In 1700 and 1702, again John Catlett and Thomas Edmondson were members of the House of Burgesses. (Avant, p. 173). NOTE: Avant and Hamlin's source was 'Colonial Virginia Register,' pp. 89, 90, 93, and 94. "John Catlett appears on a Quit Rent List of 1704 (Landowners of Virinia), owner of 1,800 acres in Essex County."
Here is question Elizabeth could have married and there was settlement made at time her wedding.
