California didn't require statewide birth registration in 1898, so there may be no birth record.
If he was adopted, it looks like you would have to petition the court for the adoption records. https://www.cdss.ca.gov/adoption-services/adoptee-information/adoption-records

A possible resource: Percy and Frances Farnsworth's divorce records from 1900 - 1901 likely would indicate whether Colvin was adopted or not. Those records are probably housed at the Sacramento County Superior Court, since the Farnsworths were living in Sacramento at the time.
UPDATE: FamilySearch does have Sacramento divorce records from that time in their IMAGES section (not Records.) Here's the link:

He is Percy and Frances child I was wondering if he was adopted by Rudolf Neumann Frances second husband as Colvin started using his name. 1st record I found was 1910 census and he is known as Neumann in other documents.
