I represent Caleb Jones. I was the former sheriff of Somerset County in Maryland. I became a captain in the Maryland Loyalists Regiment that was raised in 1777; I was commissioned on Christmas Day that year. We saw action at the Battle of Monmouth in 1778 before being sent later that year to West Florida to defend Pensacola and Mobile against the Spanish. Those of us who survived until the surrender of Pensacola were sent to Long Island, New York with the rest of the prisoners of war. I served in the regiment until the end of the Revolutionary War, at which time I and many of my Loyalist comrades went to Canada, to seek refuge and try to start our lives over. I received a grant in York County, New Brunswick in 1784. I was a magistrate and justice of the peace there. I was still living in 1802.
