I have considerable information Henry Sylvester Calkins and his parents John &
Sarah/Sally Newton. I have always been stumped in finding information on Henry's
siblings. Henry was born in 1846 to parents that were married in 1829; so there must
certainly have been other children!
Only recently it was brought to my attention that Henry likely had a younger sister named
Mary born in ~1853 (per the 1860 MI census). It appears this is the Mary Emily (Calkins)
Doty you refer to.
I am extremely interested in finding out more information on, not only Mary Calkins, but
also the Caroline Calkins you refer to (another sister of Henry Sylvester Calkins that I
was not aware of?) Do you know in what year she was born? It is interesting to note that
Henry Sylvester Calkins named his first daughter "Caroline".
