Biography

This profile is part of the Saling Name Study.

Calvin was born in 1820 and passed away in 1870.

Surname could also be Sailing. Calvin died sometime between the 1860 census and the 1870 census. The family was in Missouri in 1860 and his re-married wife was in Kansas in 1870. I have yet to determine if the two children listed with her on the 1870 were Calvin's or her new husband's although they are both listed as Dixon not Saling. (UPDATE: newer information appears to indicate that they are Calvin's children and they will be attached as such)
