On April 13, 1805, the Salem Vital Records record the intention of “Glover, Cato, of Marblehead” to marry Affable Saunders. According to the same source, it was not until two years later, on March 20, 1807, that the marriage between Cato and Affable was finally consecrated. Neither appear in the records again until September 1836, when Cato Glover's estate filed probate record. The file refers to Cato Glover, mariner, “last inhabitant of Salem,” who “has lately, viz. at Salem aforesaid within fifteen years died intestate.” That places his death between 1821 and 1836. Affable is not mentioned in the probate documents. Cato’s connection, if any, to the well-known White Glover family of Marblehead is currently unknown.
