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).
