Note: As stated below, sources for this memorial. One person is wanting it changed but the sources were the CABE DNA project and also mention in the will of John CABE which listed Zechariah as "son"— Amos was mentioned in the will but not as "son." The Cabe DNA project tested descendants of Zechariah and descendants of Amos and found no shared DNA between the two sets of descendants. They gave me permission to note that on this memorial. I cannot satisfy everyone but decide what you may about the evidence. If you have absolute proof to refute that, please send it and I will add it with your membership info at the bottom. Thank you.

Amos McCabe/Cabe was born in Lincolnshire, NC on January 1, 1771.
He was the adopted son of John McCabe and Mary Ann Spedding Cabe. He had adoptive siblings, including Zechariah Cabe (the Cabe DNA project gave me permission to clarify that Zechariah and Amos shared no common DNA based on analysis of their descendants); yet, both are mentioned in the Will of John McCabe which was probated in Haywood County, NC in 1810. In the will, John mentions both but mentions, "my son Zechariah Cabe." Amos is not mentioned as a son.
Amos McCabe married Esther Elizabeth Sharpe, the daughter of Thomas Sharpe and Rhoda Patton Sharpe, in 1807 in Haywood County, NC. He later dropped the "Mc" from his surname.
The 1810 Federal Census shows he was living in Haywood County in 1810 and 1820.
In 1820, land was open to white settlers in Macon County, NC. A notice was listed of the land in Haywood County Courthouse.
Amos was one of the first settlers in the area, a prominent and upstanding citizen. He lived near Dry Falls area toward Highlands, NC. He was married twice, remarrying after his first wife passed on. Between his two wives, he had 24 children so many people in WNC hail him as an ancestor.
