(See Evans Genealogy.) CALEB was a mer- chant in Philadelphia ; he doubtless went there early in life, and engaged in business. His name is among the signers to the non-importation agreement of October, 1765. For many years his firm consisted of himself and his younger brother Amos, the name being " Caleb and Amos Foulke." (Papers thus signed I have, of 1774.) Later, however, Amos seems to have retired, as the firm in 1790 (and perhaps earlier), was " Caleb and Owen Foulke," the junior partner being Caleb's eldest son. The latter firm did a large foreign trade ; among other things they exported flaxseed and imported linens from Newry, Belfast, and Cork. These operations were, however, finally disastrous ; at CALEB'S death his estate was heavily in- volved, a debt to a London firm being large. In 1776 he had bought the Owen Evans farm, on the Swedes Ford road (now the estate of J. Lukens), and this he made his home during the British occupation of Philadelphia, and at other times, and perhaps permanently resided there toward the close of his life. In 1813, the Sheriff of Montgomery county, Isaiah Wells, sold it in the hands of his executors, his sons

He was associated in business with his eldest brother, Caleb, by the firm name of " Caleb and Amos Foulke," and a family tradition said died in the yellow fever visitation of 1793. But the Diary of Jacob Hiltzheimer, of Philadelphia, (Penna. Mag., XVI., 415), says : " Aug. 7, 1791. Went to burial of Amos Foulke." This seems conclusive as to the year.
