Very little is known about Cadett. He was the son of James Cadett and was married to Sarah Boydone in Dumfries, Scotland, in 1838. In 1892 Cadett bequeathed a portion of his estate to support two parishes in the Church of Scotland.

Church missionaries in Great Britain traveled throughout Scotland in the early 1840s, distributing tracts and copies of the Book of Mormon and of the church’s British newspaper, Latter-day Saints’ Millennial Star. In 1842 there was no branch of the church in Annan, but the town was likely part of the Brampton Conference, which consisted of 171 members in four branches.
