Caleb Hendee Jr. was born in 1768 in Hartford County, Connecticut.  He married Lydia Rich on January 14, 1789, in Rutland County, Vermont. They had nine children, with one of these dying at birth.  Caleb was a General during the American Revolution, and afterwards he was a surveyor.  One of his best deeds for future Hendee historians was the writing of his manuscript.  There is a lot of information here.  You may feel free to download a copy of the manuscript here:  https://the-hendees.com/PDFs/Caleb-Hendee-Jr-Manuscript.pdf .
