Enfant(s):
A member of the "Spartan Rangers" in the rebellion of 1837 (William Lion MacKenzie), Caleb was jailed in London, December 17, 1837. He was bailed out on January 11, 1838, recommited, petitioned, ordered freed and banished from Canada for life on August 13, 1838.
Caleb left Canada with his wife and young family in a covered wagon. Travelling across Ontario to Detroit, he went across Michigan and up into Illinois, where he settled near the Fox River in the town of Elgin (then called Clinton), Kane County, Illinois. He did not go empty handed. Several pieces of furniture in the wagon had come all the way from England, and he had money to buy land in Illinois. According to the US 1850 census, 3 children had been born in Canada by 1838; the 4th, Melbourne Kipp was born in 1840 in Illinois. Caleb held $345 in personal property in the Kane County Personal Property list in 1848. He became a respectable citizen, and sent three sons off to fight for the union army in the Civil War. His son Melbourne's father-in-law, William Panton, maintained a stop on the Underground Railway that helped blacks escape to Canada. As there was active settlement of blacks near Port Stanley and Sparta, and since during that time the Kipp family in Illinois was in touch with their Sparta relatives, it would not be surprising if some of the blacks who settled in that part of Ontario were helped by the Panton and Kipp families. - Anne Toohey[Benjamin Kipp Descendants.FTW]
