Samuel Cabot
From John Cabot's grandson, Samuel Cabot's side, Samuel Cabot Jr. (b. 1784 in Boston) furthered the family fortune by combining the first family staples of working in shipping and marrying money. In 1812, he married Eliza Perkins, daughter of merchant king Colonel Thomas Perkins. Dr. Samuel Cabot III (b. 1815 in Boston) was an eminent surgeon, whose son, Godfrey Lowell Cabot (b. 1861 in Boston) founded Cabot Corporation, the world's largest carbon black producer in the country, used for inks and paints. Godfrey's son, John Moors Cabot (b. 1901 in Cambridge), a great-great-grandson of Samuel, was a U.S. Ambassador to Sweden, Colombia, Brazil, and Poland during the Eisenhower and Kennedy administration. Another great-great grandson, Paul Codman Cabot (b. 1898 in Brookline), was cofounder of America's first mutual fund and "Harvard's Midas."
