    • For a record of this marriage, see "New England Marriages Prior to 1700" by Clarence Almond Torrey, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore, MD., 1985, pp. 136-137

      Some online sites have this Caleb as being the one born in August 1657. Various sites have that other Caleb as being either the son of Robert or the son of his brother Caleb, who was the governor. Also, Francis Richmond Sears has this Caleb's estimated year of birth as 1650, but 1644 seems more likely when the whole family group is analyzed. We know from his father's will that Caleb was the eldest.

      Caleb's will of 1688 mentions his wife "Phillip," eldest son Caleb, other sons William, Robert, Job, and daughters Mary & "Phillip," both under 18. Also mentioned are cousin Nicholas Carr, "father" Major John Greene, and brother-in-law Peter Greene.
