In 1819, Caleb and his family along with his father Isaac and two of his brothers left Cocke County, Tennessee to settle in Missouri territory. The men constructed their own boat and floated down the Big Pigeon River, the French Broad River, the Tennessee River and the Ohio River. They went upstream n the Mississippi River to Old Franklin.
