In a deed on 2 May 1777, Caleb and his brothers William and George sold 198 acres of land which their father Bryan had secured from Spotswood. The wives of William and George are named as parties of the first part, but Caleb is named alone, so by that time Caleb's first wife had died, and he was not yet remarried.
