Hi Brenda, Can you clarify the dates on James S. Collins DOB and his marriage dates? Born in 1885 and married in 1886? :-) Verla Mae CRISSMAN married R. W. COLLINS, 11-24-1958, Surry County. My great-grandmother was Nancy Elizabeth CRISSMAN of Pilot Mtn. Verla Mae was a daughter of James Coke CRISSMAN and Mary Jane DOSS. Appreciate the update of information. May I use you as a source?
