Who do you have as parents of James E. Collins? I have a William Gibson Collins born in 1792, he died in 1881 in Edgefield, SC. His first child was named James (Thomas) Collins, he also had children John Lake, Martha E. and William Gibson Collins, Jr. . It is thought that Gibson's father may have been John or James.
