Surname given as Calin or Callin. He probably had another, earlier wife.
Witnesses at his baptism included Abraham Dutoit, hospitalier, and his wife Decristaz (her given name not recorded here).

Biographical sketch from Portrait and Biographical Album of Otoe and Cass Counties, Nebraska (Chicago: Chapman Brothers, 1889, pp. 1272-1273) provides interesting details:
NEWTON J. CALKINS. Prominent among the citizens of Cass County, who have been instrumental in developing her rich agricultural resources, is the gentleman whose name appears at the head of this sketch. He owns a large and beautiful farm on sections 9 and 16, Centre Precinct, with his residence on the northwest corner of the latter section, and there he is extensively engaged in raising grain and large herds of cattle, horses and hogs. He has developed his farm from the raw prairie, and when he first began its improvement there was no other settlement near, the house of Peter Coon, two miles distant, being the only visible habitation.
Our subject was born in Elizabethtown, N. Y., March 27, 1840, his early home being on the shores of beautiful Lake Champlain. His father, Elijah Calkins, was born in the same town, and there lived until our subject came West. He married Miss Mary Bancroft, of Connecticut, and to them were born ten children, five of whom are living. He carried on farming in New York for many years, and at last came to this State to spend his declining years in the home of his son Henry, in Rock Bluff Precinct, and there he passed away in 1880, at the age of seventy-eight years. His widow survived him about three years. They were respected members of the Baptist Church in New York. and Mr. Calkins, who was a man of strong character, with the courage of his opinions, was a firm Abolitionist, and always a Republican after the formation of the party.
Newton Calkins attended the common schools in his native town, and continued to reside there until February, 1887, and has made his home in this county ever since. He first settled two miles from Rock Creek, and a year later went to Weeping Water Precinct. Two years after that we find him in Mt. Pleasant, and in those various places he was carrying on farming on rented land. At the close of 1871 he came here and bought forty acres of the land he now owns, paying $7 an acre for it. It was in a complete state of nature, and he at once set about its development into a farm. He put out a grove of forest trees, also an orchard, and some small fruits. He built a small house first, and as his finances would permit added to it from time to time, until he now has a commodious dwelling. He continued to prosper, and in 1875 was enabled to buy the remainder of the quarter of section 9, which was partly improved, and he has purchased other land, until he owns 320 acres, forming one of the finest and best improved farms in this locality, and it is continually subject to improvements and under an admirable state of cultivation, well fenced, and amply supplied with the necessary buildings. He has built a fine horse barn, 48x60, with 18-feet posts, and all of the appurtenances, such as hay fork, etc., for handling hay. Mr. Calkins pays much attention to raising corn, but feeds a good share of it to his cattle, horses and hogs, of which he has quite large herds.
Mr. and Mrs. Calkins were united in marriage July 3, 1863, and of their union have come seven children, six of whom are living, and the following is their record: Howard was born in 1865; Viola, in 1871 Friend, in 1874; Lewis, in 1879; Lena, in 1881; Myrtle, in 1888. Mabel, the next to the youngest, died when two years old. Mrs. Calkins was formerly Miss Margaret McDougal, and was born in Lewistown, Essex Co., N. Y., in 1846, and she lived there until the time of her marriage. She is a daughter of Robert and Margaret (Kilmer) McDougal, natives of New York, where they were married, and there ten children were born to them. Seven years ago our subject visited New York, and on his return brought his father-in-law and mother-in-law with him to make their home with him, and the father is still a member of the household, at the venerable age of eighty-nine years. His wife died here in 1886.
No citizen of Cass County manifests a more genuine interest in its welfare than our subject, or is more liberal and public-spirited in encouraging schemes for its advancement. He has done much for the educational interests of his adopted precinct while serving on the School Board. He was School Director for nine years, or until he absolutely refused to hold the office any more. He and his family are influential members of the Baptist Church at Wabash. Mr. Calkins by his ability and energy, combined with forethought and prudent management, has made all he now has. He is a conscientious, self-respecting man, with a keen, resolute nature, and a good reputation for just and square dealing. Politically, he earnestly favors the Republican policy.
(In the biographical sketch quoted above, the year of settlement in Nebraska should probably read 1867 instead of 1887.)
Bockoven genealogy notes 3 daughters, Mrs. John A. Craig, Mrs. Joseph L. Emman, and Mrs. Edwin R. Wallace.
