Notes	Capt. DAVID McCAULEY, nephew of Robert, and of Mrs. Thomas Stuart, came here from Merrimack, as heir of Capt. Thomas Stuart's property, and received the farm now that of John G. Flint, Esq., at the Branch. He probably came not long subsequent to his uncle's death in 1803. He was a smart young man, and took ,a prominent place iu town. Was much in town business. Had a store at the Branch in the Swain house, under firm name of " McCoy and McCauley." At the time of his death lie had a store in the basement of the three-story house at the Branch. He took a wager to reap an acre of rye in Hiram Griffin's field east of the Branch for 82.50, to be done before noou or no pay. Won the pay, being done a halt-hour before noon, but it cost him his life. He lived several mouths after, but was never well. His death occurred April 1C, 1818, aged thirty-five. Never married. Was greatly mourned. Soon after his death, his father, Alexander McCauley of Merrimack, moved on to his farm at the Branch ; but in three years he moved back to his own town. Capt. David McCauley was captain of the grenadiers. He had two sisters in Antrim, Mrs. Thomas McCoy and Mrs. Sutheric Weston.
