Caleb6
Caleb6 (James5, Jonathan4, John3, Robert2)
180. Caleb6 (James5, Jonathan4, John3, Robert2), born 1759/60, died after 1810, and before 1820, as he is enumerated in 1810 in Meredith beside son Benjamin, but by 1820 he is not present, but son Jona. and "Widow Abigail" are enumerated beside each other in Gilford, New Hampshire. By 1830 Jonathan, Benjamin M., Elijah are all back in Meredith, but there is no enumeration indicating Widow Abigail. No evidence of Abigail's maiden name have been found, but an interesting sidenote, in both 1810 and 1820 the direct neighbors in both years are CHASE and LONGLEY but not the same inviduals in each listing. Caleb served Captain Taylor's Company, Col. Thomas Stickney's Regiment of General Starks Brigade in 1777, and as a Continental recruit in 1780, alongside his father in the Revolutionary War, for which a military flag has been placed at his gravesite. (see military file) He is buried in Meredith, New Hampshire beside Polly PEABODY "Quimby Wife", on the other side of Polly is Benj. M.7 Quimby. The cemetery transcription notes two dates, 1800 and 1813 are found on the stone. In the 1810 Census living next door to Caleb's father, James5 Quimby is one Allen PEABODY, son of Asa & Susannah (Perley) PEABODY, most probably Polly's brother. Polly PEABODY, daughter of Asa was born in 1788.

Caleb Quimby Benjamin M. Quimby
(1759/60 - betw. 1810 & 1820) (1793-1856)
Inscription:
Died Sept. 2, 1856/AE 63/Our Father
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Benjmain M.7 Quimby (Caleb6, James5, Jonathan4, John3, Robert2), buried beside Polly (Peabody) Quimby and Caleb6 Quimby in Meredith, New Hamsphire. According to the Cemetery transcription Benjamin M. Quimby died September 2, 1856, aged 63, so he was born in 1792/3 in New Hampshire. After much study and consideration it appears that Polly PEABODY, who died in 1813 was the first wife of Benjamin M.7 Quimby.
Benjamin later married Hannah Weston PARKMAN, daughter of Noah & Hannah (Weston) PARKMAN.The family Bible of Benjamin and Hannah (Parkman) Quimby lists his date of birth as May 28, 1793 in New Hampshire, date of marriage as May 24, 1817 and his date of death as September 2, 1856 in Meredith, New Hampshire, and.the family Bible lists Hannah's date of birth as June 24, 1799 in Palmyra, Maine and her date of death as August 4, 1868.
Hannah is buried in the Edson Cemetery in Lowell, Massachusetts, but Benjamin is buried in Meredith, New Hamsphire, alongside Polly and father Caleb.
Benjamin M.7 Quimby served in the War of 1812, in the 2nd Regiment (Osgood's) Massachusetts Militia - see Roster for full details.
In 1860 Hannah sold a land warrant in Chatfield, Fillmore, Minnesota, issued for Benjamin's service in the War of 1812.

One Loose note from Family Bible:
Nellie LYONS died May 17, 1912
[**The Family Bible does NOT include Josiah P.8 Quimby, although I have a separate submission that attatches him to this family. He is cited as being born in 1809/10 in Standish, Cumberland, Maine. I surmise he may be a child from an earlier marriage to Polly PEABODY. Also note his MANNING neighbors and his location in 1860 is adjacent to the county where Hannah sells a land warrant during the same year. I will continue to research more on Josiah8 and Augustus8 so that we may resolve the conflicting data ~ Dee~]
