Charles George Cabot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles George Cabot (14 September 1777, Beverly, Massachusetts - January 1811, Havana, Cuba) was a son of U.S. Senator George Cabot. He was educated at the Phillips Academy; and in about 1792 moved with his family to Brookline, Massachusetts. Cabot entered Harvard College, where he graduated in 1796 with an AB. He was one of the earliest members of the Porcellian Club, which would go on to become an essential society for the Boston Brahmin.
Upon graduation, Cabot began a career in commerce. He began as a mariner, but was soon commanding vessels on voyages to the East Indies. In the early part of the 19th century, he was in what is now Mauritius, where he was a mercantile agent. On his return to Boston, he established a mercantile firm with his cousin, Andrew Cabot. The firms did not last long and in 1810, Cabot went to Havana, Cuba. He died of tuberculosis there in 1811. Cabot was never married.
Administration of Charles George Cabot's estate was granted to his brother, Henry Cabot. The inventory totalled $19,840.80.
