Thomas Beede's nephew, Caleb Sleeper Beede, the father of Moses W., was born in 1805 in Vermont. When very young he was left an orphan, and, although obliged to support himself, he determined to secure a thorough education. One means which he took to reach this goal was to associate himself with several other young men,, and hire a teacher of Greek, a language in which he became proficient. Endowed with a keen intellect and an insatiable desire for learning, he habitually spent one-half of the night in study. Until his voice failed, he was a minister of the gospel in a New England Methodist Episcopal conference, but after that misfortune he became a contractor and builder until his removal in 1849 to Ohio. There he engaged in the lumber business and in farming. His death was caused in 1877 by a wound which he had received while serving in the Union army. Mary Worthing, his wife, a woman loved by everyone, was of English descent. In the twelfth century her acnestors were enlisted in the English army, while those living in the colonies at the time of the Revolution volunteered and fought for the American cause. Among them were her grandfathers, Major THeophilus Sanborn and Lieutenant Samuel Worthen; also her great-grandfather, Captain David Sleeper, who, as soon as he learned of the battle of Lexington, marshaled his command and marched to Boston to volunteer for the defense of that town.
