Caleb Bundy married Jane (Jean) Maners at "ye quarterly meeting," July, 1690 at the house of Henry White, North Carolina's first poet.
At a meeting of the Quakers, March 1, 1703, their home was selected as the place for holding their monthly meetings. At their regular monthly meeting May 4, 1706, this organized group of Quakers decided to build a church between the home of Caleb Bundy and William Brother's Creek, and "unanimously agreed that it should be left to the Discression of the afsd Caleb Bundy Stephen Scott & Henry Keton to choose a proper place and also to go through with the Building of the said Meeting House." The committee chose a site on the banks of Symon's Creek, an arm of Little River, the oldest Quaker meetinghouse in the State of North Carolina of which there is a record. It has not been possible to fix accurately the location of the early Quaker churches in Pasquotank County. It seems to be the consensus of opinion that the site of this church was one mile from Symon's Creek on the road from Nixonton to Weeksville. Samuel and Caleb Bundy are listed as members.
Caleb and Jean (Jane), his wife, sold a plantation on Perquimans River "towards the head thereof" February 25, 1692-3 in Pasquotank Precinct (later Pasquotank County) .
A grant in Pasquotank Co, NC was made in 1714 to Caleb "which lapsed in John Bundy's name" in 1727. Caleb Bundy served as a member of the House of Burgesses, the lower house of the legislative body, for several terms. An address from the House of Burgesses to the governor and council, bearing no date but evidently about 1703, bore the signature of Caleb Bundy and others. Robert Daniels, the deputy-governor, demanded that all persons holding public office should take the oath of allegiance which resulted in driving the Quakers from the Assembly. The following proclamation was issued giving the reason for ordering another election: "Whereas Caleb Bundy Jeremiah Symonds Augustine Scarborough & John Hawkins Chosen Burgesses for this present Assembly . . . have refused to take the Oaths appointed by Law."10 The date of the proclamation was 1709 or 1710, as Caleb Bundy was a member of the House of Burgesses, October 11, 1709. (Original document at the court house in Edenton, NC)
According to the Quaker Meeting Minutes of 1719, Caleb was disowned on July 19th for refusing to pay a debt to James Tooke.
Caleb died in January, 1721. His will was probated in Pasquotank Precinct Court, April 27, 1721, in which he bequeathed to each of his heirs a tract of land. John was given the land he had purchased of Thomas Stanton, Benjamin received the farm where his father lived, Samuel was willed the land "lying up Little River," and Mary, the daughter, received a tract of land that he had bought from his brother Samuel. In the will he mentioned a granddaughter Liday, daughter of his son William. He named as his executors his sons, John and Benjamin.
Served as a juror in two trials in 1698.
