- Source:Bond, Henry. Family Memorials. Genealogies of the Families and Descendants of the Early Settlers of Watertown, Massachusetts, Including Waltham and Weston (1855), p. 158, appears to make a couple of errors in regards to this family.
1) First he shows a child, Richard, died 26 Dec 1668. This death is found in Dedham records, but no parents are named, so it is probably an adult; and given marriage date and birth of first two children of Caleb, the birth doesn't fit into this family. The will of Caleb's father, Richard, dated 25 Dec 1668, proved 1 Jan 1668, show this death date belongs to Caleb's father, not his child.
2) He doesn't show Hannah born in Hingham. He shows Ruth who was born in Hingham, but has no birthdate for her, so apparently never investigated the Hingham records.
3) He adds a daughter Deborah, d. 17 Jan 1690-1. She is squeezed in on the same line as Joshua. No birth record is found in Watertown for Deborah, but this death record is, though she is not identified as daughter of Caleb which is unusual for the death of a child. Bond only mentions one wife for Caleb, apparently unaware he had two more wives, Deborah abt. 1680, and Rebecca in 1691 (.e.g, see Source:Bent, Gilbert O. Who Begot Thee, p. 63). In fact, Bond erroneously gives the third wife to Caleb Jr. By restoring Rebecca to Caleb Sr., and noting their marriage date of late 1691, it is clear that Bond misinterpreted the death of Caleb's second wife Deborah as being one of his children.
