I have information on the Collins side going back to Charles P. Collins being born March 30, 1878. His first wife was Ada Nelson, I do not know when they were married, I do know they had three (3) children Verna b. May 5, 1902, Emmett Douglas b. November 15, 1905, and a third child I believe his name was Jimmy, and he died at birth. It is also believed Ada also died at this time. If anyone knows any information on her (parents, DOB, DOD etc. I would love to her from you) I know after that Charlie married Metta Cobb b. Sept. 15, 1894 d. October 22, 1969. Together Charlie & Metta had 10 children. William Harris Collins b. April 28, 1914, d. Dec. 15, 1995Maggie Eugenia Collins b. June 10, 1916 d. May 2, 1987, Robert Austin b. November 16, 1918 d.
