Caleb Marshall
(29 Jun 1782 - 1 Nov 1866)
In the "History of the town of Stratford NH 1773-1925" by Jeannette Thompson, page 419-420, shows him and his wife with no dates, from LDS film 1321380, item #1.
In "The Rise and Progress of the Serpent from the Garden of Eden" by Mary (Marshall) Dyer, page 156, he is listed as the 6th child of Caleb Marshall and Zeruiah Harriman.
Pedigree Resource File at the LDS Family Search shows born 29 June 1782, Northumberland, NH, parents Caleb Marshall and Zeruiah Harriman, married Laura Franklin Waters 29 Mar. 1818.
1840 census for Northumberland, Coos Co., NH, shows a Caleb Marshall age 40-50 (he would have been 61 and this could be his son) with a wife of the same age and various childern.
1840 census shows a Caleb Marshall in Hampstead, Rockingham, NH.
1830 census for Northumberland, Coos Co., NH, shows Caleb Marshall age 40-50 (he would have been about age 51) living next door to a Widow Marshall age 70-80 (his mother Zeruiah would have been 77). 1830 census for Hampstead, Rockingham Co., NH, shows a Caleb Marshall age 20-29 living next door to a Silas Marshall age 60-69 (possible his older brother). I do not think this Caleb in Hampstead is the correct one for this family. More research is needed to determine which is the correct Caleb.
1820 census for Northumberland, Coos Co., NH, shows Caleb Marshall age 26-45 (he was age 41) and his family plus a woman age 45 plus, which may have been his mother, Zeruiah who died in 1842.
1815 at the Northumberland, NH, annual town meeting held on the second Tuesday of March 1815, Caleb Marshall was elected as one of two Highway Surveyors. At a town meeting held on 18 Sept. 1815, he voted as a town member to see what the town could do as to repairing Amonoosuch Bridge (LDS film 15260).
1812 at the Northumberland, NH, annual town meeting held on the second Tuesday of March 1812, Caleb Marshall was elected as one of two Fence Viewers (film 15260 at the FHC).
1809 at the Northumberland, NH, annual town meeting held on the second Tuesday of March 1809, Caleb Marshall was elected as one of the town's Surveyors of Highways (film 15260 at the FHC). His father, Caleb, died in 1800 so this must be him.
1800 census for Northumberland, Grafton Co., NH, shows a Claeb Marshall age 45 plus which would be his father living with two males age 16-25 (this would have been him Caleb and his brother William) a male age 0-9 (unknown) and several women the oldest being over 45 (his mother). Living next door was a cousin Antipas Marshall.
