John Caulkins, the son of Pember Caulkins, of New London, Connecticut, was baptized on April 2, 1769. After graduation he studied law in his native city, under the direction of the Hon. Richard Law (Yale 1751), and was admitted to the bar in November, 1790, and began practice there.
Early in 1792 he left New London for the South, probably on account of his health. He decided to settle in Camden, South Carolina, where he found an old friend, Benjamin Perkins (Yale 1785). He appears to have been admitted to the bar there in April 1792, and there he continued to practice until his death, in that place, on January 15, 1794, at the age of 25.
