Dear Kris,
There are a couple references to a Caleb Abell (and a Caleb S. Abell) under the appendix of Abells of Orange and Albemarle Counties, Virginia, in "The Abell Family in America".
Caleb Abell, also first appears in Orange County, Va., census of 1782, as head of a family of 4 white persons (probably son of the Richard above mentioned (I have mentioned it below)). His name also appears in the same list of Taxable Property beginning in 1782 and continuing to 1816, when he probably disposed of last property in Orange County after establishing his home in Albemarle County where he had purchased land in 1798. The Tax List of 1817 indicates Richard S. succeeding his father, Caleb, continuing beyond 1823. (Refer to "History of Albemarle County, Virginia", by Rev. Edgar Woods.) Among the records of Albemarle County, in Will Book 15, page 95, under date of Jan, 28, 1842, appears the will of Andrew Jackson Abell in which he mentions Richard S. Abell and B.F. Abell, but does not state relationship.
Children of Caleb Abell or individuals of the same generation:
Frank; appears in Tax Lists 1782-83, may have died young.
John S.; appears in tax Lists 1785, prob. the year of his birth.
Joshua Washington, Richard S., Caleb S., and Benjamin Franklin
Caleb S. Abell, born January 28, 1792; died December 1859; married December 29, 1817, Susan, daughter Ephraim Abell of Falkquare County, Virginia, died April 22, 1822; married 2nd, November 21, 1822, Jane, daughter William Black, died February 8, 1849; married 3rd, Spetember 6, 1849, Mildred C. Dobbin. His will, dated August 26, 1859, mentions his wife "Mildred". Children: Daughter; m. Richard W. Shepherd. Daughter; m. William A. Ramsay. Benjamin Franklin, and Theophilus; m. Jan. 25, 1859, Eliza C. Owen.
Richard Abell, first appears in Orange County, Virginia, census of 1782, as head of a family of 8 white persons. Also in a list of Taxable Property, beginning in 1782 and continuing to 1793 which is probably the date of his death. The names Ephraim and Dick appear under his own 1782-83, presumably as his sons, Ephraim appearing as the head of a family in 1786-1787 and 1790 with Humphrey as a son. The lists of 1794-95 show Jeremiah Abell, presumably succeeding Richard, as his son.
I hope this helps you. Please verify the information for yourself as I am only relaying what is written in the book and cannot guarantee any of it.
