He was one of the passengers on the ship Safety from England, settling first in Edenten, North Carolina. He then moved to Orange County, NC, and then to Dumplin. He had 15 children and was said to be the patriarchal leader of the entire valley. He was one of the charter members of Dumplin Valley Baptist Church, which is still an active church. The old John Cate home is a "historic Dumplin Valley home." The house, which was built in 1825, is a colonial style red brick home painted white. The bricks were made by slaves.
