Your assumption that Corkins Hayes received his first name from a connection to the
Calkins family is a reasonable one. Certainly they were numerous in the New England area
at that time, and several branches - especially in VT and NH - used the spelling Corkins.
However, I do not find in the database of the Calkins Family Association any Sarah Calkins
(or any other Calkins) wjho mrried Benajah Hayes. It is certainly possible, because Sarah
was a very common name, and there are many for whom we simply do not have any marriage
information.
Sorry we cannot help - Ken Calkins
