Caleb then married Peggy Borring Aug 6 1788 in Washington County, NC. see marriage record attached.If Caleb dis not die in 1788 as he his wife moved to Washington county NC, unsure if his first wife made it to NC, but in 1788 he married Peggy. It would have been at a time when it was called the State of Franklin. Ancestry shows children born after 1788 to Caleb and Peggy and this would be impossible if they both died in 1788, I will check sources looking for Caleb Alive after 1788.

In the days before statehood, Tennesseans struggled to gain a political voice and suffered for lack of the protection afforded by organized government. Six counties—Washington, Sullivan, and Greene in East Tennessee; and Davidson, Sumner, and Tennessee County in Middle Tennessee—had been formed as western counties of North Carolina between 1777 and 1788.

The State of Franklin (1784-1790). State of Franklin was composed of the modern Tennessee counties of: Blount County, Tennessee Carter County, Tennessee Cocke County, Tennessee Greene County, Tennessee Hamblen County, Tennessee Hawkins County, Tennessee Jefferson County, Tennessee Johnson County, Tennessee Sevier County, Tennessee Sullivan County, Tennessee Unicoi County, Tennessee Washington County, Tennessee
