THE ENTIRE COLLECTION

We know that Caleb sent many letters including his “likeness” back to Thomas but sadly no one has been able to locate a single letter authored by Caleb. Like Thomas Jackson, Caleb was a rope maker as was his father Charles . He lived in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, only about 10 miles from Ilkeston where Thomas and his father also manufactured ropes. The two kept in contact all their long lives, long after Thomas Jackson had moved to live in Reading, Pennsylvania.
