Biography

Caleb Wiseman, son of Michael Wiseman and Catherine Unknown, was born on the 29 Dec 1756 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.^[1]

Though no Baptismal record has been located for Caleb, we find a Gottlieb Weisman b. 1755 Lancaster, Pennsylvania who passed away in 1776 during the RW. It is evidenced that Gottlieb and Caleb both served with the same militia and leaders during the RW in both Pennsylvania and New York and from that we can conclude that they were siblings.

Caleb married Katherine Ott in about 1778.
