Upon hearing of the beginnings of the Revolution in Boston, Caleb traveled to Boston with two horses, which he used to haul brush to help build the fortifications on Bunker Hill.
He fought in that battle, but there ends his Revolutionary service.
On 17 October 1776 at Roxbury, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, Caleb married Molly Richards, daughter of Nathaniel Richards Esq and Mary Whiting.
Morse (1963) in his History of Warwick, says of him,
"Caleb was to leave the most lasting impression on Warwick. He settled at Mayo's Four Corners in the eastern part of the town, where he was a merchant and a farmer besides engaging in civic and church affairs. Squire Mayo, as he was known, was famous as the father of eight very beautiful daughters who stimulated church attendance among eligible males by their presence."
Caleb Mayo Esq. was a store owner and kept a public house at Warwick. He was chosen on 30 March 1788 at Warwick, Franklin County, Massachusetts, as a Selectman and served for nine years. He served on the School Committee, and for seven years was the Representative to the Massachusetts General Court. He served in 1798 as a Justice of the Peace. Starting in 1798, his marriages were listed in the Warwick records. At the turn of the century, he was described by an old timer in Warwick thusly:
"[He was] of noble and commanding appearance and his knowledge and long residence gave him much sway and influence with this townsman. He took much pride in his large promising family and justly might such a group be a parent's delight. The girls were handsome, ...finely rounded forms, clear sparkling eyes and delicate fairness of complexion."
In 1836, he had pew number 29 in the Unitarian Church listed at $72 and the most expensive in the church.
