Born by about 1615 based on estimated marriage date. Sawyer who came to Massachusetts Bay in 1630 & first settled in Roxbury MA. Moved to Springfield MA in 1636, & Fairfield CT in 1641. Died in Fairfield between 4 April 1682 (date of will) and 21 September 1682 (probate of will).
MARRIAGES: (1) By 1640 possibly Sarah _____ (in depositions relating to the witchcraft trial of Goody Knapp, Bethia Brundish, aged sixteen, deposed on 26 April 1654 about something she observed while in the company of Deborah Lockwood and Sarah Cable; as Deborah Lockwood was at that time seventeen it might be thought that Sarah Cable herself was about the same age; this record is, then, the only known record for the first wife of John Cable or for an otherwise unknown daughter).
(2) After 31 August 1658 Ann (_____) Betts, widow of Roger Betts. (This identification is based on the probate records cited above. The date of Ann's will leaves two possibilities: either she was still the widow of Roger Betts on 6 February 1673, and did not marry Cable until after that date; or the date of her will is in error and should be "6 February 1683" [i.e., 1682/3], in which case she chose to revert to her previous married name in making a will in which she only named her Betts children.)
JOHN CABLE was related in some way to JEHU BURR {1630, Roxbury}. First, they were paired in all their migrations. Both first resided in Roxbury, and moved to Springfield in 1636, where both were among the four leading citizens. In contributions made on 13 January 1638 for building a house for Rev. George Moxon and for his maintenance, the largest donations on each occasion were made by William Pynchon, Henry Smith, Jehu Burr and John Cable. Pynchon and his son-in-law Smith remained in Springfield and were the most prominent citizens in the town for many years to come. Burr and Cable both departed Springfield in 1641 and participated in the founding of Fairfield in that year.
Second, in his will John Cable appointed "my loving kinsman Jehu Burr and John Burr my overseers." The connection was probably through the first wife of Cable, or through Burr's wife.
