J.), where Caldwell's wife an<l children had taken refuge, and nuirdcred his wife while she was i)raying with her children. The story is told of Caldwell's distributing hymn- books to some soldiers who were short of wad- ding, with the exhortation, "Now, boys, put Watts into them." He was shot and killed by a patriot sentinel during a dispute about a package that tlie soldier declared it his duty to examine. The siddier was tried by the civil authorities for nuirder. and was convicted and e.ecuted. A fine monument to Caldwell was dedicated at Elizabethtown on the sixty-fourth anniversarv of his death.

The name both of an individ- ual and of a Kenizzite clan, mentioned in 1. Sam. .xv. 3; Num. xxxii. 12; Judges i. 15; 1. Chron. ii. 9 al. It was probably of Edomitish origin. Before the time of David (c.1033-993 B.C.), it was established in Hebron and its neighborhood. Caleb ben Jephunneh is the eponymous hero of the clan, representing its advance from Arabia into the Negeb. In the story of the spies. Num. xiii. 0, it even represents .Judah. Post-exilic genealogies connect Caleb closely with .Terahmeel. as a young- er brother, and both tlirough Hezzron and Perez with .Judah. It is possible that these genealo- gies retleet vaguely the outlines of a history, of which northwestern Arabia and the Negeb were the scenes, before the different elements were welded together into the kingdom of Judah bv David.

CAL-EDCNIA (Lat, Gk. KaX-qSofla. Kaledo- nia, still retained in Cymr. Coed Celi/ddoii. Cale- donian Forest). The name given to the northern part of Britannia, beyond the firths of Forth and Clyde, by Tacitus and the later Romans. The derivation is very uncertain. Agricola attemjjted the conquest of Caledonia, which he invaded in A.D. 80 and the following years. In 84 he de- feated Galgacus, who had formed a unicm of all the tribes, but was i)revente(l, by liis recall, from pursuing the conquest. Later Hadrian, Se]itimius Severus. and others attempted to sul)due Cale- donia, but the inhabitants succeeded in maintain- ing their independence. The natives made con- stant incursions into Britain. In the Fourth and Fifth centuries, under the names of Scots and Piets (q.v.). they preyed upon the Britons, espe- cially after the withdrawal of. the Roman legions, until the island was occupied by the Angles and Saxons.
