From the Loring Genealogy, page 32:107
Susanna was probably the daughter of Nicholas and Sarah Cocks (also spelled Cocke and Cox), who was born in Boston March 23, 1693-4, baptized at the Second Church three days later. She was certainly a child of Sarah, daughter of Rev. Zechariah Whitman, who married first a man by the name of Cocke and second Captain Robert Gould, by whom she was called “my daughter Sarah Goold” in a deed of land in 1722 (Suffolk Deeds 81: 162) which was sold by Susanna (Cocke) Loring’s daughters, Susanna and Sarah (Suffolk Deeds 95:27 and 130), thus proving their descent from the Whitmans. Rev. Zechariah Whitman presented a Bible '”to my grandson Caleb Loring” in consequence of this relation; the child who received it was the second Caleb in the family; he died soon and the Bible became the inheritance of the father, Caleb; and when he had a third child to whom he gave the name of Caleb, the Bible naturally went to him; he lived to be a father and the book descended in his family till it was inherited by Hon. William Caleb Loring, who holds it now [1917].

Susanna, wife of Caleb Loring, died in her 30th year.165

15 Feb 1718/9 Susanna married Caleb Loring (7788) , son of John Loring (2801) (22 Dec 1630 [sic.]-19 Sep 1714) & Rachel Wheatly (ca 1643-20 Sep 1713), in Hull, MA.165 Born on 2 Jan 1689 in Hull, MA.165 Caleb died in Hull, MA, on 16 Sep 1756; he was 67.165

From the Loring Genealogy, pages 32–33:107
Captain Caleb Loring was a town officer, selectman, and held other positions; was a justice of the peace. He owned much land,—sixty-nine and one-half acres altogether, including a part of Nantasket Neck; one African slave, two horses, four oxen, five cows, sixty sheep.
He met with some reverses; Rev. Nehemiah Hobart’s record states that “The barn of Capt. Caleb Loring was burnt by the lightning July 13, 1735. About eleven load of hay and barley consumed in it.” He was one of the subscribers to “Prince's Chronology.”
He died September 15, 1756. His brother, Rev. Israel Loring, records this event with much feeling. Caleb had been kicked by a horse four years before, and had recovered from the injury, to all appearance. But on the morning of the 14th he was attacked with a violent pain in the breast, “in the place where the horse had kicked him”; remedies were used which gave him temporary relief, but the next day the pain returned with increased sharpness and he died suddenly. Israel speaks in his diary of his brother Caleb with much love and respect.

“Prince’s Chronology”, that is, the Chronological History of New England, was to be a multivolume history of New England prepared by Rev. Thomas Prince of the Old South Church in Boston. The first volume was published in 1736 and coverted the history through Sep 1630. By 1755 three small supplements extended that to Aug 1633. A new edition was printed in 1826:
