He died about 1741 in Burlington Co., New Jersey. Caleb Sheriff permanently settled in New Jersey on his marriage about1680. He lived after 1699 in Burlington county, seven miles east of thepresent site of Mount Holly. At that date his children numered seven. Theeldest, Martha was twelve years of age; the five next older were boys,with probably the youngest, Mary, an infant; a daughter and two sons wresubsequently born. Previous to the birth of the youngest in 1706. theoldest daughter, Martha, married in 1704. The family remained unbroken by marriages until 1711-1713, during whichperiod Thomas, Joshua, Joseph, and Caleb married. The marriages of theremaining children occurred; Jonathan in 1720, Mary in 1721, Sarah in1724, Benjamin the youngest in 1729. After marriage the father gave eachchild a fine farm, the precise locations of which are not known. Theywere probably all living in Burlington County in 1739, as the poll bookof an election held in that county that year has in it the names of everyson and son-in-law, excepting John Ogborne. The four elder children hadsons old enough to vote, but they may have moved to other places. In thelist of voters is an Amos,Shreve and Caleb, Jonathan, Samuel and ThomasScattergood, who were probably sons of Martha Shreve and BenjaminScattergood. The descendants of Benjamin, the youngest child, havepreserved the best history of the family. He acquired from his father bywill the old homestead and became by contract with his mother sole heirto her property, to cover her interest in the rumored Amsterdam estate.This instrument was executed February 28, 1740-41, while she was livingwith Benjamin and after the marriages of her other children. Caleb and Sarah Areson Shreve were members of the Society of Friends inBurlington County. Caleb's will was dated April 5, 1735. Calebchanged the family name from Sheriff to Shreve after moving to New Jersey. Caleb was one of the earliest colonist of Western New Jersey. Thisimmigrant ancestor of the Shreve family was a thrifty and sagaciousEnglish Quaker, who purchased a farm in the Quaker colony established byJohn Fenwick, one of the purchasers of a large tract of land from LordJohn Berkley. In 1664, after acquiring possession of the new Netherlands, the Duke ofYork executed "deeds of lease and release" for the Province of New Jerseyto Lord John Berkeley, Baron of Stratton and Sir George Cateret, ofSaltrum in Devon. In 1673, Lord Berkeley sold his half interest in theprovince to John Fenwick and Edward Byllinge, two English Quakers. In1675, Fenwick sailed from England in the ship "Griffith" with his familyand a small company of Quakers and thus came the first English immigrantsto New Jersey. About the year 1688 or soon afterward, Caleb Shreve bult on this farm abrick house which is still pointed to with pride by his descendants as acherished family possession and from what is known of his history it canbe said that he had many sterling traits of characater, which have comedown to posterity.

History Vol11 page 711 From Encyclopedia Britannica; Henry Miller Shreve, U.S. river captainand pioneer steamboat builder who contributed significantly to developingthe potential of the mississippi waterway system. Shreveport, LA namedfor H.M. Shreve. When his father died in 1799, Henry began to maketrading voyages by keelboat and barge down the Monongahela and Ohiorivers. In 1807 he inaugurated the fur trade between St. Louis andPhiladelphia by way of Pittsburgh and in 1810 he began carrying lead fromGalena, IL near the upper Missippi. He became a stockholder and skipprof the "Enterprise" (the second steamboat on the Missippi), carryingsupplies in 1814 for Andrew Jackson's army and taking part himself in theBattle of New Orleans. In May 1815 the " Enterprise" with Shreve at thehelm became the first steamboat to ascend the Mississippi and Ohio tolouisville, KY. Shreve ; however, saw the need for an entirely new designfor river steamers and had built to his specifications the "Washington"with a flat shallow hull, a high-pressure steam engine on the main deckinstead of in the hold, and a second deck. His round trip in the"Washington" in 1816 from Pittsburgh to New Orleans and back toLouisville definitely established the Mississippi steamboat type. In1827 Shreve was appointed superintendent of western river improvementsand designed the first snag boat to remove from the river system thesunken tree trunks that often wrecked steamboats. In the 1830s heundertook the removal of an accumulated underwater obstruction of the RedRiver known as the Great Raft; his success opened northern Louisiana todevelopment and his workcamp turned into a permanent settlement asShreveport, 1838.
