Caleb Lawrence b. c. 1781 m. Abigail Baker b. 27 Oct 1787 baptized 22 Dec 1787 Wawarsing Reformed Church, Ulster County, New York daughter of Samuel Baker and Ruby Pratt. Enumerated in Braintrim, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania in 1810, where Abigail's father and family also resided and were enumerated, with two males under age ten (b. 1801-10), one male of age twenty six and under age forty five (b. 1766-84), one female under age ten (b. 1801-10), and one female of age twenty six and under age forty five (b. 1766-84). The 1810 census enumeration was the first federal census to include economic information. The forms were not pre-printed and enumerators established their own columns, often lacking uniformity. The enumerator for Braintrim was also the enumerator for Canton, Orwell, Towanda, Wyalusing, and Wysox townships. Unfortunately, the heading for his columns for the economic data has not survived. The numbers 1 and 2 for Caleb Baker may refer to stock, which included cattle, horses, and sheep. The number 30 could refer to pounds of wool, but this is only a guess. Caleb Lawrence was enumerated in Reading, Steuben (that portion that is now Schuyler County) New York in 1820, where the Baker family also removed too, with two males under age ten (b. 1811-20), one male of age ten and under age sixteen (b. 1805-10), one male of age sixteen and under age twenty six (b. 1795-1804), one male over age forty five (b. before 1775), one female of age ten and under age sixteen (b. 1805-10), and one female of age twenty six and under age forty five (b. 1776-94). Daughter, Elethea would marry there, before the family removed to what is now Brookfield Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania where Abigail's parents and several siblings had earlier removed to. Enumerated on the 1830 census of Brookfield Township as Charles Lawrence, next to the household of Abigail's brother, Ira Baker, with a family consisting of one male under age five (b. 1826-30), one male of age ten and under age fifteen (b. 1816-20), one male of age fifteen and under age twenty (b. 1811-15), one male of age twenty and under age thirty (b. 1801-10), one male of age fifty and under age sixty (b. 1771-80), one female of age five and under age ten (b. 1821-25), and one female of age forty and under age fifty (b. 1781-90). Caleb first appears on the 1833 assessment list (compiled fall of 1832) of Wells Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania, acquiring the property of Benjamin Hill. Their residence was in central Wells, near the main road between Aspinwall (now Coryland) and French Mills (now Mosherville). Abigail's brother, Amos Baker and family would follow in a few years, and reside on an adjacent farm. Caleb was enumerated in Wells in 1840 with one male of age ten and under age fifteen (b. 1826-30), one male of age twenty and under age thirty (b. 1811-20), one male of age fifty and under age sixty (b. 1781-90), one female of age fifteen and under age twenty (b. 1821-25), and one female of age fifty and under age sixty (b. 1781-90). On the 1848 assessment list of Wells, Caleb was assessed for 20 improved acres, 15 unimproved acres, 1 house, 1 horse, and 3 cows. He is related to have died in 1849. The 1849 assessment list for Wells township would seem to indicate that date is probably accurate as Caleb was assessed in that year for 20 improved acres, 15 unimproved acres, and 1 house with the notation it was transferred to Daniel N. Lawrence. Caleb was probably buried on their farm or in the Judson Hill Cemetery, but no memorial marker or documentation exists. Members of the DeWitt and Joralemon families had begun burials in the Judson Hill Cemetery a few years prior to his death. Both families were members of the Methodist Church and perhaps began the cemetery for that reason as a church was also later erected across the road from the cemetery. Caleb and Abigail's son, Leslie and family, were also members of the Methodist church and were later buried in the Judson Hill Cemetery. One only had to travel a short distance west from their residence on the road to the location of the cemetery. Abigail was enumerated with son Daniel and wife in Wells, in 1850. Abigail is related to have died in 1856. Son, Daniel removed to Tioga Township, Tioga County in 1874 and his wife died there in 1876 and was buried in Evergreen Cemetery in section K. Cemetery records indicate Caleb and Abigail are buried there and were evidently reinterred there by son, Daniel.
