Caleb Sanford WRISLEY, son of Caleb and Dorcas (DICKINSON) WRISLEY, was born in Greenfield, Mass., October 8, 1799.
The WRISLEY family came of English descent, the subject of this sketch being of the third generation from England.
His father emigrated to Waterbury in 1800, settled on a farm on the east road, where he resided until his death, at the age of seventy-four years, lie was the father of six sons and three daughters. When about nineteen years of age he found his father's farm encumbered with debt, and resolved to earn means to discharge these debts and give his father a substantial home. To accomplish this worthy object he returned to his native town (Greenfield) and labored for seven successive years for the farmers, going, and returning on foot, and carrying provisions for the journey; only using money enough to pay for his lodging.
He finally had the satisfaction of receiving a deed in full.
Mr. WRISLEY then purchased a farm adjoining his father, married Sarah Carpenter RICHARDSON, daughter of Frederick and Betsey (ORMS) RICHARDSON, also of English descent.
Mr. ORMS, father of Mrs. RICHARDSON, was killed in the war for independence. Mr. WRISLEY was a man of the old school style, honest to the letter, and whose integrity was never doubted or questioned. He was a reliable citizen, a generous and obliging neighbor, and an attendant of the Free Baptist church, which he helped support. He died September 29, 1880, at the advanced age of eighty-one years. Mrs. WRISLEY died February 22, 1848. Their children were one son and three daughters, viz.: Ellen B., who married John HERRICK, a farmer of Hyde Park, both deceased; Alvin S., who married Miss Emeline M. CLARK, and is now a practicing dentist in Waterbury Center; Harriet F. (Mrs. R. G. GILBERT), whose husband is a dentist, and resides in Morrisville, Vt.; and Louisa B., the wife of J. K.
