CALEB moved from Hingham about 1668 to Dedham and there engaged in business as a
miller and millwright. Among the earliest records of Oxford, Massachusetts, is a
contract with CALEB to build a mill there. The town of Dedham had reserved 20
acres of land for a millsite and sold a part to
CALEB in 1677. About this time he went to Watertown, Massachusetts, where
besides milling, he was licensed to keep an inn, which he did until 1711. He
sold the inn in 1712 to Thomas Learned, who kept a tavern there for 50 years. On
March 22, 1705-6, CALEB mortgaged 12 acres of pasture land known as the
"Dirty Green". He was received into full communion 4 March 1687, but
did not become freeman until 22 March 1690, apparently in preparation for his
election as Selectman. He held that office for 7 years and was Representative
for Watertown in 1713. His purchase of the water power at Fall River has been
mentioned, but he soon sold his half to his brother Benjamin Church for L100.

Joshua - The date of death and burial apparently are not known, however
there are several trees in both Ancestry and Rootsweb showing it as
1-17-1698...NONE with a valid source. The Mayflower Society shows it was before
1722 and my guess is that he died very young.
