Elizabeth Taliaferro was born in 1691 in Powhatan Plantation, Old Rappahannock County, Virginia, the ninth of fourteen children and the third of five daughters of John Taliaferro, and Sarah Smith.

In 1703 when she was just twelve years old, she married John Catlett III and bore him one known child, a son whom they named John (IV).

 1st Marriage - James Barbour ; 2nd Marriage - John Catlett

The following extract from an autograph note in the Bible of Gov. James Barbour: "The farthest back I have been able to trace with any certainty, is my great-grandfather, James Barbour, who came to this country from Scotland, in the latter half of the 17th Century. He came in the character of a merchantman, and was wrecked on his first adventure. His friends, as stated by tradition, being rich, furnished him with another cargo which he turned to a profitable account, in (I believe) the county of King and Queen.

He had issue, only one son, whom he called after himself, James, who married Sarah Todd, of a most respectable family. My grandfather's prospects in life were considerably shattered by the second marriage of his mother, by which a second son was born who by some means obtained control of the whole Barbour estate, and squandered it.
