His father in 1751 deeded his farm half to him, half to Ebenezer to care for him balance of his life.

He and his first wife were admitted to Roxbury Church February 1691/92 where his first children (twins) were born. He was well educated for the times; settled in Framingham 1692 or 3, and built on what later became the town farm, taking parole lease, which was executed in writing January 30, 1708/9 of 100 acres, of Joseph Buckmaster for 982 years at 20 shillings annual rent; he afterwards built the old Loring Manson home, where he died. He was one of the founders and Deacon of the Framingham Church and was selectman (1702), town clerk (1702, 5 years), school master (1706) and Deputy to General Court (1712-17). He was prominent in religious affairs, having the confidence of such men as Rev, Messrs. Sewall and Prince of Boston. His interest in the "Great Awakening" (1734-1745) brought him into collision with the pastor and a majority of the Framingham church, who discountenanced the revival; and which resulted in his leaving the Framingham church and joining the church in Hopkinton, September 21, 1735. A few years later (October 1746), he, with others, formed the Second Congregational church in Framingham. He died during the Great Sickness with Joshua Jr. and other leaders.

He bought the western half of his father's farm and lived in the old house where later stood the town's house.

The first native son of Framingham to graduate at College (Harvard College, 1730) and was elected master of the grammar at the close of his senior year and taught one year. He was ordained as first minister of church in Townsend, October 1734 and continued 27 years.

University of Maine graduate. Mapleton High School principal. Later taught at Caribou High School.

Unlike many families of English origin all Hemenways and Hemingways in this country have a common ancestor in Ralph of Roxbury, Massachusetts.

He was admitted freeman 3 September 1634 "as Ralfe Hiningway". [MBCR 1:369]

In the Roxbury land inventory of about 1652, "Ralph Hemmingway" held eight parcels of land, all of which were granted by the town: two and a half acres with house, barn and garden; three and a half acres in Black Neck; one acre in the Calve's Pasture; one acre and a half of salt marsh; eight acres of land; two acres of fresh meadow; twenty four and a half acres "exchanged with John Roberts for so much of his lot lying in the Second Allotment in the Last Division being the second lot there"; and sixteen acres in the Thousand Acres near Dedham [RBOP 28].

On 28 July 1674 Edward Peggy was in Suffolk Court for "using indirect means by powders or other ways unlawful to engage the affections or desires of women kind to him & for begetting Ruth Henningway of Roxbury with child," and at the same court "Ruth Henningway is ordered to renew her bonds for her appearance at the next Court" [SCC 1:485-6]. On 24 September 1674 Ruth Hemingway was excommunicated from Roxbury Church [RChR 212]. "Ralph Henningway" and Joshua "Hews" Sr. went to court 27 October 1674 and declared that "Ruth Henningway" was "not yet delivered" and they desired the case be continued until next court [SCC 1:517].

Settled in New Haven, Connecticut and later East Haven 1660 and was town clerk for a long time.

Caleb fled to Canada after the Revolutionary war because of his Loyalist beliefs as did his sons Lewis and Timothy. Daniel died serving in the Revolutionary war and Aristides signed paperwork as to his association with the colonists to fight against the British. Caleb is mentioned as a prisoner of war held by the Colonists so it might have been as were common for the time that he take refuse in Canada or be tried as a traitor.
