Watertown's Rev. John Trumbull, who died in 1787, owned
several slaves. One of them was a girl named Cate, whom
Trumbull bequeathed to his daughter Lucy Langdon. Langdon
lived in Danbury, and Trumbull noted that Cate was already
living with the Langdons. The 1790 census does not list
any African Americans, free or enslaved, in the Langdon
household.
