James McCabe (1748-1811), the youngest son of Patrick McCabe, worked in Lurgan until 1770 when he moved to Belfast where he is reported to have worked with his brother, Thomas. However it is not clear whether each made and signed their own work, or indeed from where it was sold. James emigrated to London in the summer of 1775 where he opened a business in Bells Building, Fleet Street, paying a poor rate of £1.2s.6d. On 2nd April 1781, James McCabe, along with 37 others (including Emery, Frodsham, Pinchbeck and Vulliamy) was made an Honorary Freeman of the Clockmakers Company. He progressed to the Livery in April 1787, Junior Warden in January 1809, Renter Warden in October 1809 and Senior Warden on 8th July 1811. He was briefly a partner in the cotton trade, taking over Thomas’s interests in Joys, McCabe and McCracken until the company was dissolved in September 1790. In 1802 James McCabe’s business moved to 97 Cornhill, Royal Exchange. Unfortunately, shortly after he was elected as Senior Warden of the Clockmakers Company in 1811, he fell ill and died in Stoke Newington on 6th October, reportedly of a “mortification of the leg”.
