Note: From a letter from the Shakertown librarian to CFA dated 10/1980
Caleb Callaway b. Jan. 9, 1761 d. Jul 8, 1829 came from VA or NC and was one of the founders of the South Union Shaker Community, near Bowling Green, KY. He had 6 children, 3 sons and 3 daughters. One son, John Constant and one daughter, Matilda became Shakers, Signed Cov. 1830.
His date of death is from records of the South Union Shaker Community which give his date of birth as
Jan 1761. 1762 is from the Richard Callaway Bible.
Just for clarification sake, Caleb did have two sons named Elijah and Elisha. They were not the same person with the name spelled differently, but rather two separate individuals. Hope this helps!
