John Cate was a farmer, town selectman and state offical. His daughter Hannah E. Cate married Franklin Gould and moved to California. Other family members include Joseph. P. Sheafe Jr. and Lois G. Sheafe of Charlestown, and Charle G. Cate. Charles G. Cate is listed in the Wolfeborough Buisness and Professional Directory as a banker. The Cate Family Papers contain materials related to the Cate Family of Wolfeborough, NH. Folder one contains a household inventory from 1827-1829. Folder two has the letters of the Goulds from San Francisco during the gold rush years. Folder four contains a letter regarding the looms of the Manchester Coporation. Folder six has a couple of letters regarding the gold rush plus mention of the beginnings of the Know Nothing Party. Folders 8-9 concern the pump making business. The final sections contains Wolfeborough town papers concerning town buisness, religion and an unusual promissory note which appears to be a joke as it is written in reverse.
