My g grandfather's (Absolam W. C. Collins) cousin, Henry M. Collins, Jr. (can't prove it yet, but am reasonably sure) was in the 4th Iowa, Co. D, then G, was captured and sent to Andersonville Prison, where he died on 3/6/1864. He was from Pleasanton and was 25 when he enlisted in 1861 and 28 when he died. He went in as a Private and died a Sergeant. He is listed on the Decatur County site's civil war list, but it says 34th Iowa, which is incorrect. He left a widow, Lydia Lusk Collins (a sister of my g grandmother, Sophia Lusk Collins) and a little girl, that I have not been able to trace, Mary Ann Collins, b. 1859. I have found the information on him in the civil war/military lists on Ancestry, from the National Archives, and the Civil War Union Pension Files, where I found that my gg grandfather Lusk was the guardian of Mary Ann after her father died.
