Our Great Great Grandfather and Grandmother was James Collins and Angeline Smith Collins. In the Special Census of 1856 a Jacob Collins, James (our ancestor) and Dillard Collins were listed as neighbors in Medicineville area in Wayne County IA. There is a folder in the Wayne County Library on a Jacob Collins. Any connection?
