Did doc holiday have anything to do with calamity Jane?

No, Doc Holliday and Calamity Jane were both in the West during the second half of the 1800s though. Jane spent most time in the North-Midwest to the Northwest (Utah, parts of Colorado, Montana) while Doc Holliday spent a majority of his life in the Southwest and in the East. Doc died in Colorado, but there is no existing documentation suggesting that Jane and he had ever met. However, it is likely that they may have heard of one another like everyone else (penny trades, newspapers, word of mouth, etc).

They were also represented, albeit in a historically incorrect way, in TV as knowing each other in an episode of Bonanza.
