I have to disagree with Caleb being a son of Titus. I can send you the entire document if you like.
>>The following is from the text of a document written by Edwin P. Travis, about 1937 concerning the Travis Family of Putnam County New York.
Fortunately, for the purpose of this sketch, Titus Travis kept a record of the names and dates of birth of the members of his family. A debt of gratitude is due to Mrs.Harriet Newel (Travis) Lee, R.F.D., Peekskill, N.Y., now deceased, for having preserved this record. She was the daughter of Daniel D. Travis, youngest of the family of Titus Travis.
On Oct. 12, 1905 she wrote Luther Travis, one of the authors of this sketch, giving him a copy of her grandfather's record. The record appears to have been started on a page in an old account book and finished on a preceding page. Mrs. Lee wrote:
"The family record is contained in an old account book belonging to Titus Travis. There are
two pages which refer to family history. All the rest are accounts. I will copy it word for word:
'Anney Travis was born July 17 day in year 1774.
Titus Travis (Jr.) was born Feb. 27 day in year 1777.
Susaney Travis was born Oct. 29 day in year 1779.
Samuel W. Travis was born June 15 day in year 1782
Daniel D. Travis was born May 12 day in year 1786.
A trew copy of the ages of the family of Titus Travis
taken by himself'.
All the above is on one page. Over the leaf is the following:
Titus Travis in the year 1786 of this book made for the age of his family.
Titus Travis was born in the year 1739 November 11 day.
Elilzabeth Travis French was born in year 1741 February 7 day.
George Travis was born January 3 day in year 1760.
Jeaims Travis was born April 11 day in year 1762.
Gilberd Travis was born in year 1764 July 28 day.
Elizabeth Travis was born on May 12 in year 1767.
Marget Travis was born on July 11 in year 1769.
(here is added in a different hand writing "and died in year 1806, Sept.26")
Elizabeth Travis was born on 2 day of January in year 1772.'
This is all there is on the subject of family history."
