Name Elizabeth CATT OR KNIGHT Relationship with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Est 1645 (possibly), Headcorn, Kent, England - Estimate based on date of marriage which may have been her first and date of her (probable) husband's baptism.
Gender Female Died Yes, date unknown Notes - (Research):Not the Elizabeth CATT baptised Cranbrook 1655, dau of Nicholas and Elizabeth, as she was buried in 1657.
Another Elizabeth was baptised in Hawkhurst in 1641 (dau of Wm & Mary) - could it be her? Possibly, but quite a lot of Catt families in the area and quite a few parishes not yet online (as at 18 May 2016).
A Richard left a will in 1702 - but I can't find a son Richard of Wm & Mary, though one was bap in Hawkhurst in 1646, so maybe a cousin of Elizabeth. Unlikely to have mentioned a cousin or her family in his will.
It now seems she may have been a widow when she married Nicholas - see marriage notes.

Family Nicholas TAYLOR, b. Abt 1644, Hollingbourne, Kent, England , d. Yes, date unknown Married 2 May 1678 St. Michael the Archangel’s Church, Smarden, Kent, England - From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 18 Mar 2020)
"May 2d Secundo Die Maii, Nicholas Tayler et Elizabetha Catt, Ambo de Hedcorne, nuptial contratiebant."
One entry on FamilySearch, from BTs or ATs shows Elizabeth as a widow. An Elizabeth KNIGHT married Thomas CATT in Headcorn in 1668, and a Thomas CATT was buried there in 1675, so it seems likely that Elizabeth was born Elizabeth KNIGHT - more research to be done.
Whilst I show this marriage as of Nicholas, son of Nicholas and Frances, it could be a subsequent marriage of the Nicholas who had been married to Frances.
** at present I have not seen burials in Hollingbourne, even in transcript form - one or more of the children of Nicholas and Frances might have died in infancy **
