Phebe Cable was born on July 31, 1808, probably in Schroeppel, Oswego Co., New York, to Nathaniel Cable (1783 – 1850) and his wife Patty Gray (1788 – 1874). She married the Englishman Philander Gates (b. 28 Dec. 1807) on Sept. 21, 1830. Their children were Mary Helen Gates (b. Nov 13, 1831); Martha Jane Gates (b. June 16, 1833 – 1866); Elizabeth Adelaide Gates (b. Nov. 28, 1837, Pompey Hill, Onondaga Co., NY); Presilla Ann Gates (b. 1839); and Nelson Gates (B. June 20, 1841 in Onandaga Co., NY).
Philander Gates died by 1850, because on the census conducted that year, she appears to be on her own in Schroeppel, Oswego Co., New York, with her daughters. On the 1860 census, living with her is 71-year-old Martha Cable, as well as a Mary and Ann Gates, both in their mid-20s. Phoebe is still there ten years later, in 1880, living with Mary Gates only. She is very well off, claiming real estate worth $10,000 and a personal estate of $1,000. Next door is the abode of Benjamin Cable and his wife Matilda. Their relation to Phoebe is unclear.
She died on April 8, 1880, in Schroeppel.
