Notes	McCAULEY. ROBERT McCAULEY came here very early in the history of the town, certainly as early as 1777, and built on the west side of the road between William and Graftou Curtis's, east of the Branch village, and near the river, as it bends to the south. Waa the first tailor in town, and followed that business here nearly twenty years. Was out in the Revolutionary army. Was a cripple in old age. His father was Alexander McCauley, brother of James, the first settler in Hillsborough, in 1741. Alexander seems to have lived iu Hillsborough for a time, and Robert came here undoubtedly from that place. James and Alexander were born in the Province of Ulster in Ireland; were genuine Scotchmen; located awhile in the vicinity of Boston after arrival in this country, and then came to Hillsborough. Alexander was born in 1707. His wife. Mary Pinkerton, born in Ireland iu 1712, was cousin of the first John Pinker- ton of Londonderry. She died in Merrinv-ick, Jan. 20, 1791. He died in the same place Oct. 11, 1788. They were parents of James McCauley, who married Isabel Jameson, and of Robert McCauley of this towu, and of Sarah McCauley who married Thomas Stuart of this town. Robert married Abigail Smith of Dunharton, July 11, 1774. She was called " Nabby," and our records call her ' Neaby." He was credited with a second wife, whose name I have not been able to find, and whose existence I doubt. He is believed to have left Antrim about 1794. The house he lived in has been gone many years. She called herself (Nabby Smith) a niece of Gen. John Stark, and was his adopted daughter. Robert McCauley diedin Crown Point, N. Y., 18i'(5, aged ninety-three. He kept his payments of continental money till the day of his death. The children, as far as known, were thus given on the town record, though an older one may have been brought here on removal to this town. 1. John, [b. Feb. 12,1778 ; settled in Potsdam, N. Y.; m.
