The fourth man to sign the Shiloh Church Covenant was Caleb Barrett. His wife, Abigail Barrett, signed with him. He was born about 1698, probably at Cohansey. His wife was Abigail Ayars, born about 1700, the daughter of Isaac Ayars and Hannah Barrett, his wife. This family probably lived at or near where John Probasco is living, a short distance southeast of Shiloh. In the early 1780's, Caleb Barrett, Jr., his son, lived at this place, while another son, James Barrett, lived a few rods west, just east of the road, and close by the run. The name Barrett's Run came from these early Barrett families living along that stream. In 1784, Elnathan Davis, the surveyor, bought these Barrett properties; but in 1786, again sold the west portion to James Barrett. The family of Caleb Barrett, Sr., is given in the early church records. His daughter, Elizabeth, born April 7, 1721, is called Elizabeth Mulford in his will. James, born January 24, 1722/3, is mentioned in a deed as having a wife Sarah, and later a wife Nancy. Although his name does not appear in the lists of those baptized, he was a member as indicated by his gifts in church collections. Joshua Barrett, born October 14, 1725, died in 1795. Hannah Barrett, born July 14, 1730, is called Hannah Hall in her father's will. Rebecca Barrett, born Jun 9, 1732, was single when her father's will was written in 1757, and is probably the Rebecca Barrett mentioned in the church collections. Abigail Barrett was born August 24, 1735, and was called Abigail Sheppard in her father's will. She was the wife of Abel Sheppard, born in 1730, and died in 1773. Abigail Sheppard died in 1806. Their son, David Sheppard, was the father of Caleb Sheppard, and the grandfather of the late Caleb Henry Sheppard. Caleb Barrett's son Caleb was born August 27, 1737, the anniversary year, 200 years ago. He married Zerviah Dunn, youngest daughter of Hugh Dunn who signed the church covenant. Caleb and Zerviah Barrett were both baptized on Sunday, August 4, 1739. Caleb Barrett, Sr.'s youngest child, Sarah, was born June 25th. 1739. Called Sarah in his will, as she was not yet married, she became married to Phineas Ayars. He was a soldier in the revolutionary War, and died January 6, 1790. Sarah Barrett Ayars died about 1820, aged 81 years. Caleb Barrett, Sr., died about January 1, 1758. Abigail, his wife, died about January 1, 1765. Thomas Barrett, probably a grandson of the above Caleb Barrett was baptized together with his wife, Edith Barrett, on Sunday, January 7, 1770. These winter baptisms show they had courage as well as conviction. This Edith Barrett was Edith Ayars, daughter of Joseph Ayars and Keziah Dunn. As before mentioned, Keziah was the daughter of Hugh and Amy Dunn, signers of the covenant. Like many other names once common in Shiloh, the name Barrett is remembered only by the oldest now living in Shiloh. Certainly very many of our people could trace their ancestry to the early Barretts, as almost every generation of our early families shows marriages with this once common name.
