Marie,I am researching Frederick Calkins, a Revolutionary War sailor, and his extended
family. The photo that you have of Robert R. Smith and his wife Sybil, one of
Frederick's ten children and eight daughters, interests me. I suspect it is one taken
in their later years while they were living in Will Co, IL or taken when on a trip to
Sybil's sister Mary Prentice Smith who was living about 250 miles away in Tama County,
IA. The sisters were close. Im aware of another photo taken of them in Belle Plaine, IA. I
am anxious to communicate with you concerning Sybil Calkins Smith, your photo, the Bill
Family Bible and Sybil's ancestors. Joe Ross
