Caleb Sumner and his wife were categorized as a member of the New Garden MM in Ohio.

Caleb Sumner and his wife Phoebe appear in the records of the New Garden MM at Guilford in North Carolina. Their names do not seem to appear in the Ohio New Garden MM records.

While the records of some of the Ohio Quaker monthly meetings are indexed and available through Ancestry, Hinshaw's Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy volumes 4 and 5 provides the most complete index. Volume 4 includes a substantial number of entries for the New Garden MM in Columbiana Co., Ohio. There is a Charles Sumner listed in Volume 4 but no one else with that "Sumner" name is listed in the volume. The Caleb Sumner family moved to Indiana where there is also a New Garden Meeting. However, there appears to be no evidence that the family was ever received at or were part of the membership at the Columbiana County, New Garden Monthly Meeting.

Micro filmed records of New Garden MM in Columbiana Co., Ohio are located in Columbus at the Ohio History Center. A close review of those records may provide such evidence.
