I am looking for info on my great great grandfather Obediah Collins. According to the 1870 Bell Co., KY census, he was age 36, born in NC and was married to a lady named Elizabeth , also from NC and she was age 19. In 1880, he showed up in the Clay Co., KY census living with the Jarvis Lovins family. Here he is listed as being age 45 and has a young son, Lewis age 6(William Lewis Collins is my great grandfather). Elizabeth is not listed, I don't know what happened to her. Later that year, Sept. 10, 1880, Obediah married a lady named Lucy Powell. From here, I cannot find Obediah anymore. I found Lucy in 1900 married to another man with some Collins children in the household. William Lewis Collins turned up in Bell Co. in 1900 married to Dora Jones. They had two children: Minnie and Josephine. He was shot and killed in Middlesboro, Ky as he came out of the Voting polls on election day in 1901. Needless to say, I have had a very difficult time tracing this family. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who came shed some light on this family for me. Any and all help appreciated. Penny
