Message Board Post:
Is anyone researching ancestors of Harvey W. Calkins (b. 1840, New York State, s. of Silas
Calkins & Lucy Willard) and wife Jane Hutchinson of Wisconsin?
The second wife of Harvey's brother, Henry Jefferson Calkins, was Elizabeth Hutchison
of Maple Creek, Wisconsin, (b. 1850, Cuyahoga Co., Ohio, d. of Robert Hutchison & Mary
Johnston). The Hutchisons had an older daughter, Jane, who was born about 1845 in
Scotland.
I have suspicions that Jane and Elizabeth were sisters, despite the differences in surname
spellings, because of the proximity of the families and would like to test the theory with
anyone researching Harvey Calkins' family.
