After 1784 he relocated in New York State, and by 1797 had taken the Oath of Allegiance to the British in Upper Canada, today's Province of Ontario. Caleb settled in Oxford County, Ontario, Canada, with his large family.
Thomas grew up in Oxford County, Ontario. As a young man, he served with the Canadian Militia during the War of 1812. In 1851, he was a farmer, married to Julia Ann, living in Norwich Township, Oxford County. Julia Ann died in 1861 and is also buried in Newark Cemetery. Thomas then married Adaline West, widow of Levi Walker, July 10, 1862.
