I believe Elizabeth Winans m. Joshua Calkins about 1825. His first wife Mercy is buried in Galpin Hill Cemetery, Aurelius, Cayuga, NY. d. 17 Oct. 1823. His son, Joshua Jr. married Dorcas Irish, daughter of David Irish and Mercy Sweet and Joshua and Dorcas appear with their family in the 1830 census in Perry. I think I recall that Joshua's father Joshua was there as well. At least one of their son Chester Porter Calkins' children (Romaine), was born in Delevan, Walworth, WI.
Chester's uncle, Joseph Eastman Irish, moved to WI in 1842. I believe several of his nephews came about the same time. I have a death date for Elizabeth's husband Joshua of 1830, but do not know how long Elizabeth may have remained in Perry.
