Calkins-2841 and Calkin-40 appear to represent the same person because: Most census records have Calkin not Calkins. Sophronia's gravestone has Calkin. see Findagrave. Same birth and death dates, same sources. Father Ezra's Findagrave is Calkin, his father Moses is Calkin. Looks like census takers added ths 's'. Appears that LNAB for whole family should be Calkin not Calkins.
