 Includes NotesNotes for Sanford Jenks Calvin:
From pg. 165:

Sanford came to Vermont with his parents from Rhoad Island while a young child. He was evidently well educated, is said to have studied law, and to have been admitted to the Vermont bar in 1790. He seems to have practiced his profession in
Rutland until about 1802 when he moved to Smithfield, Madison County, New York, where he resumed his practice and was later appointed Judge of a local court. He is siad to have insisted on writing his name as it sounded to him, and always
spelled it Sanford Jenks Calvin. However, as he was an educated man, one may suspect, as previously remarked, that the change in spelling from Colvin to Calvin was based on the conviction that the name was originally Calvin and should properly
be so spelled. The form Calvin was adheared to by his children and has always since been used by his decendants.
