Notes |
- Caleb was an active patriot in the Revolution. He was a captain of a company of "eight months' men," 64 in number who enlisted to serve from 1 May 1775 to the end of the year. During the occupation of Boston by the British, they were stations at Roxbury. In July 1776, he had command of a company enlist for five months, or during the remainder of the year. They were stationed in New Jersey, and shared the hardships and disasters of that campaign. He commanded a company in Rhode island, during Sullivan's fruitless campaign there in September 1778.
In March 1779, he was a member of the committee of public safety. He was representative to Attleborough in 1789 and one of the board of selectmen in 1790.
