This photo was probably taken around
1850.
In 1850,
Calvin Calkins
was 70 years old
and lived in
Ballston, Saratoga, NY.
His first wife,
Charity Barrows,
had died 9 years ago. Their
son
Calvin Pardy
was 41 years old and had three boys: the eight-year-old Matthew Henry, the four-year-old
Herbert-Victor,
and the two-year-old Carlton Chace.
One year after the death of his first wife, Calvin had got married for the second time to
Clarissa Hamblin,
who was 38 years younger than he was and survived him by 39 years.
