In May, 1730, the General Assembly, in view of the inconveniences arising to the parishioners of St. George's Parish by reason of the great length thereof, divided it by a line running "from the mouth of the Rapid Anne to the mouth of the Wilderness Run; thence up the said run to the bridge, and thence southward to the Pamunky River. All of the territory above that line to be called and known as St. Mark's Parish." The same Act directs the freeholders and housekepers of the new parish to meet at the new church in Germanna, on the first day of the following January, and elect twelve of the most able and discreet persons of the parish to be vestrymen of said parish. In pursuance of this Act, the freeholders and housekeepers did meet at Germanna on the 1st day of January, 1731, and elected Goodrich Lightfoot, Henry Field, Francis Kirtly (not Huntley as in Bishop Meade's "Old Churches, &c."), William Peyton, James Barbour, Robert Slaughter, Thomas Staunton, Benjamin Cave, Robert Green, Jno. Finlason and Samuel Ball. Robert Slaughter and Francis Slaughter were the first church wardens, and William Peyton first clerk.

Germanna Colony Notes
The opening paragraph of the Saint Mark Parish Vestry Book reads,
"Persueance to An Act of the General Assembly holden at Williams Burgh the twenty-first day of May 1730 Intitaled an Act for Dividing the Parish of Saint George in the County of Spotsylvania and that all the other part of the said Parish which lies above the said bounds shall there after be Called and Known by the Name of Saint Mark and according to the said Act the free holders and house keepers of the said Parish of Saint Mark did Meet at the Church at Germanna in their said Parish on the said first day of January and there did Elect and Choose twelve of the most able and Discreet persons of their Parish to be vestry Men for their said Parish (viz) GOODRICH LIGHTFOOT, JAMES BARBER, THOMAS STANTON, HENRY FIELD, ROBERT SLAUGHTER, BENJAMIN CAVE, JOHN FINLASON, ROBERT GREEN, FRANCIS KIRTLEY, FRANCIS SLAUGHTER, SAMUEL BALL, WILLIAM PAYTON haveing taken the oaths appointed by Law and Subscribed to be Conformable to the Doctrine and Discipline of the Church of England Doe Act as vestry Men for the Parish of Saint Mark."

These elected Vestrymen came together on Saturday, January 9, 1730, for the first meeting. This latter date must be an old style date for otherwise the first meeting would have been before the parish was created by the Assembly. At the first meeting, all twelve of the elected vestrymen met which was probably the only time that occurred. One of the first items of business was to elect William Payton as "Clark of the said vestry." For his work in doing this, he was to be allowed six hundred pounds of tobacco Convenant [?] for his Service.

The next item was to elect Robert Slaughter and Francis Slaughter, Gent., as "Church wardens for the said Parish for the Insueing Year."

Then William Payton, William Phillips, and John Macmath were approved to continue to be "Readers at the Several Churches and Chapels they formerly read at and that they be paid one thousand pounds of tobacco Casque and Convenuncy Each for this Insueing Year." Signed Robert Slaughter and Francis Slaughter.

Biog./Hist. Note During its session begun in May 1780 the General Assembly passed an act authorizing the governor to impress supplies needed by the American army. The governor appointed commissioners of the provision law in each locality to carry out the terms of the act. The commissioner, when he impressed property, gave the owner a certificate describing what was taken. Between 1781 and 1783 county courts held special sessions at which certificates were presented and authenticated, and booklets listing authenticated certificates were compiled and sent to Richmond for settlement. Two commissioners appointed to settle the claims recorded those for which they authorized payment, and warrants were issued by the auditor of public accounts.

"Elizabeth Underwood married first Dr. James Taylor. Was he a son of Rev. James Taylor who was associated with the family in Isle of Wight County? He certainly was NOT a kind or faithful husband to her so that she felt compelled to appeal to the Governor and Council for a separation in order that she could return to the home of her mother. The details are such that it would have been impossible for her to have remained with him without being killed or maimed. Before the matter was finally settled the huband obligingly departed this life, according to the first record book of Surrey County. Recorded 26 March 1654.

1 May 1655, the estate account of Mr. James Taylor returned and among other items is where Mr. Slaughter was paid one third of the estate in right of his wife (Vol. 1, 53). 6 November 1655, Francis Slaughter for and in consideration of two cowes with caves and 2000 pounds of tobacco to be paid the 10th of October next and 1000 pounds more to be paid of 1657 by Thomas Culmer of Surrey Countye Chyrurgion all claim (in right of his wife) unto the house and plantation where he now lives.

It seems that they removed to Rapahannock River soon after selling this property but he (Slaughter) did not long survive the removal since his will was recorded on page 83 of the volume containing records from 1656 to 1664."

(Third husband of Elizabeth Underwood Slaughter) "Col. John Catlett ...he was presiding justice of Rappahannock in 1665, and was killed by the Indians while defending a frontier fort near Port Royall in 1670. Col. Catlett was very wealthy. Like her mother, Elizabeth Underwood took unto herself a third (Butler was her fourth) husband in the person of Rev. Amory Butler, by whom she had no issue."

Elizabeth Underwood married first Dr. James Taylor. He certainly was not a kind or faithful husband to her so that she felt compelled to appeal to the Governor and Council for a separation in order that she could return to the house of her mother. The details are such that it qould have been impossible for her to have remained with him without being killed or maimed. Before the matter was finally settled the husband obligingly departed this life according to the first record book of Surry County, Recorded 26 March 1654. Her daughter
Elizabeth had married John Catlett who was styled son in law.

1 May 1655, the estate account of Mr. James Taylor returned among other items is where Mr. Slaughter was paid one third of the estate in right of his wife (This is apparently the Francis Slaughter shown as her first husband as follows: Elizabeth Underwood married first Francis Slaughter; then John Catlett, Sr. per The Family Register of Nicholas Taliaferro with notes by William Buckner McGroarty, William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Magazine, Volume 1 Second Series, July 1921, Volume 3 posted on Rootsweb.com archives, Note 5. On 6 November 1655, Francis Slaughter for and in consideration of two cowes with calves and 2000 pounds of tobacco to be paid the 10th of October next and 1000 pounds more to be paid the 10th of 8ber 1657 by Thomas Culmer of Surrey Countye Chyrurgion all claim (in right of his wife) unto the house and plantation where he now lives. It seems that they removed to Rappahannock River soon after settling this property but he died not long survive the removal since hi will was recorded on page 83 of the volume containing records from 1656 to 1664 but the date is mutilated. It was before Mrs. Margaret Upton married Capt. Thomas Lucas as he bequeathed to his mother-in-law Mrs. Margaret Upon 10 shilling to buy a pair of gloves. To brother-in-law Coll More. Fantleroy a book entitled Hookers Eclestical policy. To Andre Dew his overseer as much broadcloth as will make him a suite. To dear wife Elizabeth (Underwood) Slaughter residue of estate lands, houses and to her heirs except my rapier belt and young mare that runs either about Lawnes or Lower Chippox Creek.

Witnesses Thomas Hawkins, Ant. Stephens. This deed of gift is recorded in volume 1656-84, page 34, Rappahannock County apparently just before she was going to marry her third husband John Catlett. She had married him by 17 January 1664 when she made a power of attorney to her beloved kinsman Mr. Thomas Hawkins to acknowledge her consent to sale of land from her husband John Catlett to James Yeats (1656-64, page 408, Rappahannock County). Colonel John Catlett survived for some years and is said to have been killed while defending a fort at Port Royal against Indians. They had four children, John Catlett; Elizabeth Catlett; William Catlett and Sarah Catlett who are mentioned in the will of their mother.

On 20 April 1672 there was recorded a marriage agreement between Amory Butler of Rappahannock County, Clerk and Mrs. Elizabeth (Underwood) Catlett which was dated May 1671 in which the said Mr. Butler was to relinquish all right which might accrue to him by the said marriage now in her possession as administrator of her late husband Colonel John Catlett deceased or any right in her dower. Her children now in England. Trustees were Major William Pierce of Westmoreland County and Mr. Edward Rowzee. Witnesses: Anthony Bridges and John Rosier (Vol 1672-76, page 19)

This much married lady did not long survive her fourth matrimonial venture as her will was entered for probate 7 May 1673 just two years from the date of her marriage agreement. She bequeathed to her son Francis Slaughter furniture in her chamber, the furniture and other things given her by her mother when he is nineteen years of age; to her daughter Elizabeth Catlett bed and furniture in the dining room, her largest diamond ring, necklace with the biggest pearl and some other things; To her daughter Sarah Catlett two stone rings, small pearl necklace, wedding ring, etc. To sons John and William Catlett, the books mentioned in their father's will. To cozens William Underwood, Humphrey Booth, Catherine Booth. To sister Pierce a mourning ring. Executor husband Amory Butler who is to be guardian to children. Cousin Thomas Hawkins, brother Edward Rowzee and Mr. Daniel Gaines overseers of will (1665-1671, 136)

From Early Colonial Settlers:
The Will, of Margaret Underwood's second husband Captain John Upton was probated Dec. 16, 1652, sheds a lot more light on who were her children. John Upton was very generous to all the children involved: his one child John Upton and Margaret's children.
