Linda, Could you please add the known children where you have them? I tried tracking this family and thought I was on the right track, but somehow ended up off of it as when I finally got to the death certificates, they didn't hold the same parentage you listed. I see the Tipton C. Collins (8 Jul 1895 Raven, KY - 16 Apr 1949 Knott Co., KY) is buried in Turner Cemetery. So is his son, Carroll Tipton Collins. I found Johnnie DeCorsey Collins b. 4/22/1911 W. KY d. 5/25/1950 Martin, Floyd Co., KY father: John D. Collins mother: Susanna Johnson Occupation: Miner; WWII vet (discharged 1941) buried in Collins Cemetery, Weeksbury, KY informant: Mrs. Elsie Collins and also found Edda R. Collins aka Eddie Collins b. 5/27/1913 Floyd Co., KY d. 11/30/1925 Weeksbury, Floyd Co., KY son of Jno. D. Collins and Susane Johnson Frank Johnson of Weeksbury, KY - informant So if that is indeed the correct children for your family, at least now you can figure on searching past 1910 (given their birth dates) for John D, Sr. 1920 Painter Harve, Floyd Co., KY 99/99 Collins, Susie head 36 Wd KY NC KY merchant general store Bournda ? son 20 S KY KY KY miner coal mine [from previous marriage] Bessie dau 10 S KY KY KY Johnnie son 8 S KY KY KY Edie R son 6 S KY KY KY 1910 Painter Harve, Floyd Co., KY John CALLINS 39 M3 2 KY KY KY Susana E. 26 M2 5/4 KY NC KY Bessie 1 1/12 KY KY KY That's about all I could tell was definitely your folks.
