1. JAMES CATE (or Cates) was b. about 1728, and came from Epping, though all our attempts to trace his ancestry in that town have failed. He had moved hither prior to Jan., 1768 (see " Petition" headed by himself ) ; was a honse joiner by trade ; settled and lived in what is now Franklin, Lot No. 69. 2d Div., the late Wyatt place, building first a log, and then a substantial frame house.

well was planted by him. His name is also first upon the list of eight original members of the Congregational Church, though he could not theu have been over 43 years of age. No descendants of his name were found left within the original limits of Sanboruton in 1876, yet more of his descendants bearing other names than of any other original member of the church, listened, as members of the congrega- tion, to a church historical discourse that year delivered. He was an energetic and good man, very attentive to all his religious duties, so long as physically able, and retaining his rational faculties to the last. Of unusual intelligence among the laymen of his day, he was a prolific rhymer, especially in the style of elegy (see Specimens of Sauborn- tou Poetry). He was moved by his grandson, Abijah Sanborn, to the home of his dau. [4], where the last twelve years of his life were spent, in the house now occupied by Walter Sanborn (1880). IIe there d.
