Local figure
Barnaby Cabe, first written McCabe, settled on the Eno River in Orange County in the late 1750s, buying 330 acres of William Few's tract and farming there with his wife, Betsy Perkins. He made more money as a wagoner. In 1771 he hauled for Governor Tryon's militia against the Regulators, and by 1780 he had changed sides, bringing a wagonload of flour to the army.
