hello, I am looking for any information on this family; Mr. Collins Mrs. Collins 1 Francis Lee "Frank" Collins b: November 24, 1832 in Alabama d: April 18, 1876 in Visalia, Tulare, California +Mary Jane Peyton b: September 18, 1834 in Cape Giradeau, Cape Giradeau, Missouri m: February 19, 1859 in Tule River, Tulare, California d: January 03, 1926 in Grass Valley, Nevada, California 1 Mr. Collins b. November 26, 1832? d. after 1924? Missouri? this is what I think I know about my Collins line. from my grandmother's notes, Francis Lee Collins was b. Nov 24 1832 near Birmingham, Alabama. To the best of my knowledge, Birmingham has always been in Jefferson Co. Francis' family (brother, father, uncle) was mostly in the medical field, and it is by this particular clue that I hope to finally make a breakthrough on this line. Francis had a twin? brother born two days after him. the brother was said to have been raised by an uncle who was in the medical field. from a biographical sketch of one of Francis' sons, this brother was an Osteopath, and was still alive in 1924, living in Kansas City, MO. attempts to figure out which Collins is the brother of Francis has been daunting, and I have yet to figure out who he may be. the biography also said that Francis' father was an Aliopath. nowhere in the notes and papers I've found so far are the brother and father's names mentioned. both of the parents are said to have died in the 1840's. can anyone help me trace this line? thank you Cornelia in California
