(Fayette). I'v have been able to trace my family back to Caleb Collier b. 1847 married to Lizzie Knox in around 1885. Also, Isaac Frye b. about 1848 married to Mary (last name unknown). While my primary focus is the African-American extension of my family, any information on posible slaveowners is more than welcomed. This information is being collected for our family reunion which will be held in New Orleans. Also, any inofrmation on any of their descendants is also appreciated with the exception of my own grandparents. I'll include some of their info in hopes that it will help anyone who may be able to help me. My grandfather was Marion Lee Collier. He was born in Fayette in November 1912. He married my grandmother, Hilda Frye. She was born March 6, 1914. they married in November 1931 or 32 in Fayette. They moved to New Orleans in 1956 and later returned to Fayette to live in 1985. They lived there until my grandfather died in 1992. My grandmother died on December 30, 2002 in LaPlace, LA. My grandfather's parents were John Collier and Ardella Porter-Collier. My grandmother's parents were Emmanuel Frye and Pearl(a) Jackson. My grandparents have children who still live in Fayette. Two daughters, Rosie Collier-Hammett and the other, who passed 3 years ago, Ruby Collier-Barnes. Both of my grandparents are buried in the Rose Hill #2 Baptist Church cemetery. The old one that is way off in a hollow of some sort where I'm told that quite a few of my Jackson family relatives still live. As far as I know, the family has been members of Rose Hill # 2 (located on Hwy 553) for generations. I remember my grandmother telling me that she and my grandfather attended school there as children. If I'm not mistaken, the building that is on the grounds of the graveyard and looks like a dilapidated shed was the actual schoolhouse that they attended. Any information that anyone can help me with will be greatly appreciated. Please send any information to my e-mail address. Thank You, Yolanda
