A heritage marker in Newmarket marks the site of his trading post, later replaced by Cawthra House, his residence, a general store and the town's first bank. His son was Henry Cawthra (1830-1904), a barrister, and his daughter Mary (d. 1882) was the mother of William Mulock. Another son, Joseph, built a house called Guiseley House at Elm Avenue and Mount Pleasant named after his father's birthplace and has since been demolished. (en)
