Looking for info on Jack Collins b abt 1834 according to the 1910 Census in Ohio, KY with his wife Sue Collins, age 48. This means Sue was b abt 1862. In this census record there is a Juanita Newton 11 and Felicia Newton 9 living with them. Won't be able to renew my ancestry subscription until late April so I am unable to look at this record. May have to make a trip to the library to view it. They had 2 children that I know about. Mary Collins 1905-1987 who married Elbert Ratliff (who was really Elbert Collins, s/o my grandfather, Charles Lewis Collins (1880-1954) and Violet Ratliff (d/o Wm Riley Ratliff and Judia Dale). Elbert was raised as a Ratliff by Wm Riley & Judia. It wasn't until 1951-1953 that Elbert found out he was a Collins and met Charley Collins, his father (my grandfather). Mary had a brother known as Red Collins 1914-1989. Just trying to help myself and someone else gather info so we can try to break down another barrier. It is believed that Mary's Collins family and Elbert's Collins family are related but so far, no proof. Annie Collins Storland lupielu3@aol.com
Dear Annie I have Ancestry and am having a problem finding your Jack Collins in earlier census records. Could Jack be a nick name? My grandfather was known as Jack all his life but was christened John Henry. I did find the census you mentioned below and those two young Newton girls were listed as grandchildren of Jack and Sue.
