He left about three days later to Catskill on the Hudson River and then to New York City for the term of three months. The discharge was sent to him in Roxbury in December of 1814. At the time of this application Caleb was 73 years old and a resident of Swanton Twp., Fulton County Ohio. This claim was suspended on September 23, 1853.
