Caleb was the son of Capt. William Marshall and Sarah Buswell (she was one of two of his wives who are buried with him in his field in Marshall Homestead in Hampstead, NH). His mother was born in Salisbury, MA. Caleb was the eldest son.

On Mar 4, 1773 in Hampstead, NH he married Zeruiah Harriman, daughter of Reuben Harriman and Mehitable Putnam.

At first it appeared that they first lived in Maidstone, VT and probably settled in Stratford after Sarah returned from her flight to Hampstead. But all records show that Caleb did build a house in Northumberland in 1772 or 1773 (which might have been part of Stratford at one time... the border kept changing). A Fort was built around this farm during the Revolutionary War. The farm, though in bad shape, is still in Northumberland and known as "The Marshall Farm".

From the History of the Town of Stratford:
Caleb Marshall, a cousin of Antipas, came from Hampstead, NH to Northumberland before the Revolutionary War. He settled on the farm below John Eames, and built his house without hammer or nails. After getting settled an alarm of Indians was given. They buried their pewter dishes, put their knives and forks on a beam in the house, mounted a horse and returned to their former home for a year or two. In her book "Shakerism Exposed" in 1847 daughter Mary Dyer wrote "Our kind parents were careful to procure a good education for us, though in a wilderness, and ten of the children were school teachers."
