In it he recorded the amount of liquor that he drank and with whom, in Spencertown, Great Barrington, and Sheffield. In Spencertown John Callender of "Uncle John" is mentioned as one with whom he had a dram in the morning in Uncle John's corn.
On July 28, 1776, from Spencertown, John Callender writes to Pliny Moore: "As to our company it stands as it use to and it is Not in the Power of the Devil To Brake it up for he has Done his Best and has Yielded.

By the terms of his father's will, dated Mar. 30, 1782, John received land in Nobleton, Albany Co. Nobleton became Hillsdale and is now part of Austerlitz Twp., Columbia Co.

Note - Dr. Spencer W. Garwood mistakenly claimed Capt. Lt. John Callender of Bunker Hill fame as an ancestor. John Callender, who was cashiered after the Battle of Bunker Hill, was the son of Elizer Callender who petitioned for his exchange after he had re-enlisted as a private, and was taken prisoner. This John Callender never married and died Oct. 12, 1797, Alexandria, Va. He belonged to the Order of Cincinnati.
