| "The late Thomas Caley was born in the Isle of Man in 1821,and was the son of a clergyman of the Church of England. He was carefully educated with special attention devoted to bookkeeping, but evinced a strong preference for a mechanical trade, and, consequently, took up blacksmithing. When twenty two years of age he came to Rochester and established a repair shop at Brighton, and acquired some local fame as an expert artificer in metal. He was the founder of the large business now conducted by Caley & Nash." - From Peck, William F., Landmarks of Monroe County, New York, 1895 p. 179. |
