Brett, you did not give dates for Mary Emily Calkins,
so here's what I found that might help:
From the "Calkins Family in America", by Kenneth W Calkins,
genealogist of the Calkins Family Association, pg 12:
20. Mary3 Calkins (John2, Hugh1) was born May 1669 in Norwich
CT and died 30 Jul 1748 in Norwich CT. She married
Samuel Gifford 01 Nov 1693 in Windham CT, son of
Stephen Gifford and Hannah Gore. He was born Sep 1668
in Norwich CT, and died 26 Aug 1714 in Lebanon CT.
They had 8 children, all named in this excellent reference.
From the same book, pg 14:
26. Mary3 Calkins (David2, Hugh1) was born 26 Mar 1690
in New London CT and died abt. 1730. She married
Jonathan Bushnell 02 Mar 1709/10 in New London CT.
He was born 07 Oct 1679 in Norwich CT and died 05
Feb 1758 in Norwich CT.
They had 9 children, all named in this excellent reference.
So you can see that these were two women named Mary Calkins,
which is not at all surprising, as there are nearly 100 Mary
Calkinses in the index of this book.
If either of these Mary Calkinses is in your ancestry, you will
want to see, and perhaps purchase, a copy of this genealogy.
If so, contact Ken Calkins direct.
If either is in your direct ancestry, you and I are cousins,
and I would be pleased to exchange full Calkins lineage.
You would also be related to President Grover Cleveland.

Tom,
I am sorry to bother you but I have just run across the Calkins surname in my research.
In the Vital Records of Norwich (CT) it mentions on page 67 that Mary Calkin married
Jonathan Bushnell on 2 Mar 1709/10. When I looked at the History of Norwich it gives on
page 172 that a Mary Calkin married Samuel Gifford.
Are these the same Mary's? All the world connect entries have Mary and Samuel with
their marriage date the same as Jonathan and Mary.
