Caleb COWLES

1682 - 1725  (43 years)

• Name	Caleb COWLES  [1, 2]
  	Caleb Cowles settled in Kensington, Conn., and was one of the members of the new Second Church Society of Farmington, at "Great Swamp," Kensington Parish, and a pillar and deacon of the church established there Dec. 10, 1712, on Christian Lane, just south of the Middletown railroad, the site of which is marked by a monument erected by the Daughters of the American revolution. The ancient cemetery is on Christian lane, a few rods north of the railroad,, but the Cowles graves, if any, are unmarked. However, a large granite boulder placed there by the D.A.R. bears the name of Cowles with those of the other original settlers. Caleb Cowles, together with his bothers, Samuel and Isaac and other persons, signed a petition to the General Assembly, Oct. 11, 1705, requesting a settlement of an Ecclesiastical Society at a place called the "Great Swamp" on account of the inconvenience of attending services at Farmington about six miles distant, indicating that they all then resided there, though this is not of record. Administration on the estate of Caleb Cowles of Kensington, was granted by the Probate Court at Hartford, Conn., jan. 4, 1725/6, to his widow, Abigail Cowles, Inventory: L529-17-1. The inventory of her estate amounting to L49-12-9 was taken Nov. 25, 1736. [1]
