The BLM land patent I found for Benjamin Calfee shows land purchased 10/1/1845 in Camden Co. Morgan Parish. Through the years 1853 to 1860 other purchases in Camden and Benton were made by James Calfee, Morgan Calfee, Vardeman Calfee.
In the 1850 Camden Co., Mo., District 13 Federal Census I located (listed as Caffrey):
Elizabeth Caffrey 58 F 400VA(born 1792)
Charles Caffrey37 M50 Boatsman TN(born 1813
Vardeman Caffrey29 M"MO(born 1821)
Morgan Caffrey27 M""(born 1823)
Benjamin Caffrey22 Mfarmer"(born 1828)
James Caffrey18 Mfarmer"(born 1832)

I believe this is Benjamin Calfee's family and he is perhaps deceased by 1850. The fact that Charles was born in Tennessee lends credence to Benjamins having been there in 1813. Benjamin Caffee from Tennessee is found in the VIRTUALLY MISSOURI TEXT COLLECTION also.
