  • Notes 
    • Caleb Cooley, the youngest of the four brothers (who eventually lived in Pittsford) was at home with his father in Greenwich Mass when his brother, Capt. Benjamin5 Cooley of Pittsford, visited 1778. He urged his youngest brother to return to Pittsford with him. Their father, Benjamin4 Cooley Sr as a special inducement offered to give young Caleb one hundred acres of the wild lands in Pittsford town. Although Caleb spent considerable time in Pittsford, he did not make it his home until 1780, when he became a member of his brother Capt. Benjamin's family. He served under his brother from that time until the close of the Revolutionary War. On two such occasions, Caleb, a member of Capt. Benj. Cooley's Co., Col. Ebenezer Allen's Regt. of Militia was called out on an alarm commencing the 30th May 1780 and ending the 6th of June 1780 and, again, commencing the 12th day of October 1780 and ending the 18th of October 1780. 1/9/4. Vt. Rev. Rolls The DAR Patriot Index lists Caleb Cooley as having served during the American Revolution as a private from Vermont. In 1784, Caleb began the construction of a plank house on the small clearing he had made, and on May 6, 1784, he married Miss Elizabeth Sanford, and they immediately occupied the unfinished house.
