He married Mary Smithson. While there is no church record or probate to prove this other court documents support this. Caleb & Mary were both shown on multiple deeds and documents where they both were witnesses. Caleb dies in 1792 and Mary give her son William 20 acres and a plantation.
Mary was the daughter of John & Dorothy (Sawyer) Smithson.
The couple lived in Camden County, NC where they had 4 children:
1. William, m1. Thamer Gregory 7 ch,
m2 Mary Gregory (sister of Thamer)
2. James
3. Mary Courtney
4. Tamer, m. Col. Dempsey Burgess, m. Caleb Perkins
Per Historian & author Jessie Forbes Pugh, Caleb served against the British during the Revolutionary War.
(In 2003 and in 2022 no pay vouchers have been found to support this. However, in 2022 records were found to show that in 1781 Caleb was paid $22 for a barrel of pork that he earlier had provided for the troops fighting the British.)
Caleb was probably buried in the original Forbes family cemetery in Camden County located across the road from the memorial for James & Alice Forbes. In 2001 on the original homestead land of James & Alice many what appeared to be unmarked graves could still be seen. The local grave marker used at that time were wooden and they did not last long.
