3. "History of the Town of Antrim, New
Hampshire" by Rev W R Cochrane, 1880, pgs 589-590: "ROBERT McCAULEY came here
very early in the history of the town, certainly as early as 1777, and built on
the west side of the road between William and Grafton Curtis's, east of the
Branch village, and near the river, as it bends to the south. Was the first
tailor in town, and followed that business here nearly twenty years. Was out in
the Revoluntionary army. Was a cripple in old age. His father was Alexander
McCauley, brother of James, the first settler in Hillsborough in 1741. Alexander
seems to have lived in Hillsborough for a time, and Robert came here undoubtedly
from that place. ... Robert married Abigail Smith of Dunbarton, July 11, 1774.
She was called 'Nabby'. He was credited with a second wife, whose name I have
not been able to find, and whose existence I doubt. He is believed to have left
Antrim about 1794. The house he lived in has been gone many years. She called
herself (Nabby Smith) a niece of Gen John Stark, and was his adopted daughter.
Robert McCauley died in Crown Point, New York, in 1826, aged ninety three. He
kept his payments of continental money till the day of his death. The children,
as far as known, were thus given on the town record, though an older one may
have been brought here on removal to this town. ..." (then lists 8 children).
