Bev, I checked all of my different records. Lidia was shown as Parsons in all of them. She was a Parsons when she married Leroy Upshaw and everywhere she is mentioned they have Parsons in parenthesis. I have never seen her listed in any of my older papers as Collins but occassional someone will bring up the Collins name. On the 1850 Ozark Census she is listed as 23 from Indiana. In the old books on the Alsups she is always listed as Lidia Alsup (Parsons) or Lidia Upshaw (Parsons). I know this isn't much help, but it is all I can find. Pat Alsup Hardman
