Archibald Calvin was the youngest child of William Calvin and Anne Hadden of Creevlea townland, Clones parish, County Monaghan, Ireland. His birth/baptism wasn't listed in the register of Stonebridge Presbyterian Church (where his father was a ruling elder), although most of his siblings' baptisms were listed there.
In the 1900 U.S. census of Almeda County, California, Archibald gave his birth date and place as January 1840 in Ireland. He said that he had emigrated to the United States in 1868, and was a naturalized citizen. He apparently married his wife Ellen soon after he came to the U.S. -- their children were Minnie (born 1868), Joseph Edward (born 1870), Joseph Percy (born 1876), and Archie A. Calvin (born 1877).
Archibald Calvin was naturalized in San Francisco in 1872, and was counted as a voter in Livermore, Almeda County, California in 1873. He became a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Livermore, and also joined a Masonic lodge. He worked, as did many immigrants, for the Spring Valley Water Company in Almeda County, the powerful private company that controlled San Francisco's water supply from the mid-1860s to 1930.
His obituary was published in The Oakland Tribune (California), Thursday, February 2, 1905: "A. Calvin Dies -- Archibald Calvin, father of Percy Calvin of this place, died at the County Hospital last Saturday from heart disease. He was employed at the time of the attack at Niles and although immediately removed to the County Hospital at San Leandro, he died in a few hours after his arrival. The remains were brought to Livermore and interred in the Masonic cemetery." -- Oakland Tribune (California) Thursday, February 2, 1905.
