-------
Col. John Catlett, Jr. was known as the 2nd John.

His will was probated in Essex County on 18-Nov-1724.

John married first, a Miss Smith. Some researchers believe that she was a daughter of Maj. Lawwrence Smith since deeds recorded in Spotsylvania Co., VA, to Jno Catlett, Jr. and Richard Buckner, in 1722, from Augustine Smith, the son of Major Lawrence Smith. The Catletts owned a large estate at the mouth of Golden Vale Creek in present Caroline County, VA.

John and his first wife were the parents of:

1. Lawrence Catlett
2. Elizabeth Catlett, who married Rowland Thornton

John Catlett married second, Elizabeth Gaines. [Charles Hughes Hamlin, Professional Genealogist, who worked in conjunction with David A. Avant, Jr. could not find evidence to prove that Col. John Catlett, Jr. married Elizabeth Gaines--nor any information about her parentage. Their marriage is widely accepted by many writers and genealogists of the family. In 1706 Mary Catlett released her dower when her husband, John, sold lands ....SO her name could have been MARY--not ELIZABETH. No original documents are available to prove the name "Elizabeth."]
