Biography

Research Notes

• BIRTH -- Somerset PA was formed March 5, 1804. Caleb was born 1735. Somerset did not exist in 1735.

Southwestern Pennsylvania began as a huge area called Cumberland County. As population increased, the area was split into smaller counties. Bedford County was formed from part from Cumberland in 1771 and is referred to as "Old Bedford County" and contained what are now 20 smaller counties. Created on April 17, 1795, from part of Bedford County and named for Somersetshire, England. Somerset, the county seat was laid out in 1795 and incorporated as a borough on March 5, 1804. Traversed by the Forbes Road in 1758, it became legal to settle the Somerset area after the “New Purchase” of 1768. Fur trappers and hunters were first to stay in the region. The earliest permanent white settlement in what is now Somerset County is a region known as Turkeyfoot. People of "The Jersey Settlement" emigrated from Essex and Morris Counties, New Jersey, about 1770.
