"Joseph Cates was a citizen of Gorham, ME before 1765. He was
esteemed as a man of ability and one of the stron pillars of the
Congregational Church; he was one of the selectmen in 1768, an on
various important committees during the War of Independence. Mr. Cates
was a deacon and Ruling Elder of the church for many years."

as 1745. April 8, 1745, he was published to Deborah, the youngest
daughter of Joshua, Jr. and Elizabeth (Vaughn) Cobb. (I maintain that

Cobb, as proved by papers in the office of the Cumberland Co,
Commissioners at Portland, ME - M.R.S.) In 1748 Joseph Cates purchased
a lot of land in Cape Elizabeth, on the road leading from the ferry to
the meeting house, where he probably lived. May 11, 1772 he sold this

sons Benjamin and Ebenezer and lately by Richard Willis a (lineal)
