Hi Marc,
Thanks for replying to my query. My ggg grandparents were Elizabeth Jane Allen and Elijah Selby Calkins. Their son James Nelson Calkins is the line I follow. He had a sister Cynthia Uretta Calkins born June 22, 1827 but the info I have gives her as being married to Bill Johnson. I have no documentation to back this up and am certainly open to any new info! As for Elizabeth's parents, I have never been able to verify who they were. If you have anything which gives info on them, I would love to see it! I have a fair bit of documentation on siblings to James and Cynthia. Marriage records for brother Luther and sister Lovisa Ann. Also a will containing info on Lovisa Ann's spouse Thomas Houston. I also have numerous census records that track family to and from Canada to the USA. Elizabeth Jane Allen was supposedly born in Canada but I have no idea if her parents were living in Canada or the USA. New York is a strong likelihood as I gather that during the War of 1812 the families had numerous splits. Some choose to remain loyal to Britain while others sided with the USA. It remains a mystery to me that Elijah Selby fought for Canada while his father and numerous brothers fought for the USA. I think the fact that Elijah and Elizabeth returned to the USA in their later years, lets us know that whatever the rift, in the end Family is what really counted. So, if you have any info to share, I'd love to hear from you. Oh, I have a fair bit of info on the McKagues (pronounced McKegg by our family). I'm not sure where your William McKague fits in but sure am interested in finding out! Hope to hear from you soon!
Your distant cousin,
Joanne
