- Caleb Hyde was born at West Farms, Conn., and after his marriage settled at Lenox, Mass. At the commencement of the war of the Revolution he was a Captain of the Lenox Company of Militia, which was attached to Regiment commanded by Col. James Eaton. On May 10, 1775, he responded promptly to an alarm notice and marched with his company from Lenox to Ticonderoga, and from that date to the end of the war was an active patriot and frequently on duty in the field. On Aug. 30, 1775, he was commissioned Junior Major, and subsequently Senior Major, and still later Lieut. Colonel of Colonel Simons' regiment. In October, 1781, he commanded a battalion of militia sent from Massachusetts to reinforce the Continental Army at Saratoga and served with credit under General Stark. After the close of the war he was commissioned Brig. General of Mass., Militia, and was Sheriff of the county of Berkshire. Later he removed to Lysle, N. Y. He served several terms both as Assemblyman and State Senator in New York Legislature, and in 1804 was a member of the Council of Appointment. - [Weygant, p. 166]
