Biography

Caleb Loring, born at Hingham, June 9, 1674[1][2]; married August 7, 1696, Lydia, daughter of Edward and Dorothy (Lettice) Gray, born about 1677. Her father was a very early settler at Plymouth, though not of the Mayflower party; her mother was his second wife, who outlived him and married second Nathaniel Clarke, from whom she applied for a divorce.

Mrs. Loring called "Madame Loring" in the community, was a member of the church with her husband.

Caleb Loring learned the trade of weaver, and was so called in lawsuit in 1698. He later became a physician, by what process of education records do not show. He made his home first at Plymouth. Bought a tract of land in 1697. Was chosen constable, that is tax collector and court officer, March 6, 1698-9, - "Eastward of the Road Neer New Streete and by the fence side which was some-time mr Nath: Clarks fence: to dig a well Not to exceed 5 foot into the lane from sd fence."

This was in partnership with Mr. Little. He was a member of a town committee the same year; a member of the Grand Jury in 1701-2 and in 1703 member of another jury.

He bought a farm of Stephen Bryant in the part of Plymouth which was set off and formed the town of Plympton four years later. This estate was on the east side of Jones River Brook, where that stream crosses the highway in the north part of Plympton.

He was on a committee to recommend a plan for the disposition of the cedar swamp lands in 1704; one of the selectmen 1704-7, and constable again in 1706. December 31, 1707, one of a committee to built a new bridge over Jones River. In 1725 he, with Dea. Isaac Cushman, petitioned the General Court of Plymouth colony protesting against the sale of certain lands by the town of Plymouth which Plympton had a share; asking that their share might be paid over to Plympton for the support of a grammar school; but the petition was not granted.

Dr. Loring was one of the proprietors of a forge for the reduction of bog iron ore and a foundry; a local poet, with kind thoughts of the doctor but with different opinions of other members of the company, perpetrated this rhyme:

"Freeheart and Gripehard
And Cunning and Catch
Built them a forge
To make themselves rich."
The forge continued in operation a long time. Dr. Loring continued the same prominence in Plympton affairs he had had at Plymouth, being selectman, assessor, moderator, surveyor of lands and captain of militia at various times. He had considerable medical practice and was never secure from calls; so that he had a door cut in the wall of the meetinghouse close by his pew, so that he could come in and go out without disturbing the congregation in meeting time.
