Robert Calkins 8/11/99
My father was Harry Radford Calkins, b Sioux City, Iowa, 9/11/1897. His father was Elmer Charles Calkins, b Michigan 1872, son of Asahel Dunnam Calkins, b about 1833 in Elba, Genessee, New York. We can go no further back than this, but your entry makes me wonder if there could be a connection. According to my father, Asahel was orphanned young and brought up by two old-maid aunts in a rural community near Batavia in western New York state. Does this fit with your info anywhere?
