.CALEB ISAAC HAIGHT (b. 22 May 1856) also on the Hole in the Rock roster, son of Isaac Chauncy and from Cedar City. Was 23 at the time of the trek.
He is mentioned in Miller's book, p. 77 as being assigned along with Warren Taylor, and Albert Nelson to find forage for the horses. They drove them from Jackass Bench, below the Hole in the Rock, north beyond Fifty-mile Spring, then back 10 miles to Sooner Spring. Finding feed for the animals was of major concern.
Caleb Haight and Isaac C. Haight, lived at Montezuma for a short time, and then moved back to Cedar City.
