The history of our house name:

Cato Freeman

Cato Freeman was a black slave who was a member of the North Parish Church, where he played the viol in the church orchestra. His master was Samuel Phillips, who was the lieutenant of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and who later founded Phillips Academy in Andover.

In 1780, Massachusetts outlawed slavery but, Cato chose to remain in service. He taught himself to read and write. There is an original letter written by him in 1783 in the collection of the North Andover Historical Society.

Neither he nor his children were allowed to attend school at the North Parish Church. He went on to develop a farm near Lake Cochichewick where the Lawrence Municipal Airport is located. He is buried near the common in downtown Andover.
