Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/DgB.2ACI/292.1 Message Board Post: I believe that Elizabeth Collis is a sibling to Jesse Lafayette Collis who was known as Fate. Fate Collis was my great-great grandfather. He married a Ruth Pearson (could be spelled Pierson) about 1880 to 1882. They had one child Ida May, born February 22, 1882 in Oakland, AR (Marion county). Ida May married a William Sanders Waggoner (b. 3/27/1866 in Lamar, MO. (Barton county) and died June 13, 1931 in Bonnots Mill, MO. (Osage Co.)). William Waggoner was the some of William Martin Van Buren Waggoner b. 1/29/1847 in Tenn. and d. 2/23/1926 in Flippin, AR. William Martin Van Buren Waggoner was the son of Daniel E. Waggoner, Jr. b. 1815 in Davidson County, TN. and d. after 1880 in Barton County, MO. Daniel E. Waggoner, Jr. was the son of Daniel E. Waggoner b. 2/7/1790 in NC and d. 9/23/1859 in MO. Ida May and William (“Sank”) Sanders Waggoner were married in 1898, probably in Oakland, AR since they lived there and had 10 children in Oakland, AR. Their children were 1. Essie Bell b. 12/18/1899 2. William Francis b. 8/8/1901 d. 8/31/1902 3. Dallas b. 9/8/03 4. Clard Eland b. 12/8/05 5. Eual b. 2/17/08 6. Nellie b. 10/24/10 7. Roy b. 7/4/13 8. Ruth b. 10/5/15 9. Burnal b. 2/15/22 10. Fermon b. 4/18/24 Nellie Waggoner was my paternal grandmother. She married Raymond Levetria Hendrickson on June 2, 1929. My father was born June 27, 1934. My father is the only relative listed here that is still living. My great-grandmother, Ida May Collis Waggoner, told of being of Cherokee descent. She also told us of her father Fate Collis. When she was very young her father, Fate, left Oakland to deposit money at the bank in Mountain Home, AR. He left with two bags of coins on the back of a horse and was never seen again. My great-grandmother stated that the “bushwackers got him” on his way to Mountain Home. That may or may not be true, but it was her story and she stuck to it. Her mother Ruth Pearson married a Manuel Jenkins in about 1885, but they did not have any children. I am aware of a number of “Collins” on the Cherokee rolls, but not any “Collis” names. My father and I have presumed that the “Collis” name was either recorded wrong, or they chose to list it differently to avoid connection with the Cherokee. In the 1880s through the early 1900s it was against to the law to be Indian and live in the state of Missouri. My grandmother and great-grandmother always cautioned us about claiming Cherokee heritage since they were afraid they could loose their land and/or be sent to Oklahoma (a fate worse than death in their eyes). I hope this helps.

Levi also served in the CSA and was captured and held prisoner in Elmira, NY. In my heart all along I've known that Levi is the elder Daniel's son because once that family came to Hall they all lived together in one little cluster and Levi named his eldest son Daniel and I've since found that Mary, Mother of the Daniel and Levi we speak of, was the daughter of Levi Phillips. She was the Mother of eight and I can only find seven by the time the census names the children as well as the head of the household and by then Levi is gone from home. Thanks for your kind response.

Hi Bill - I had found that information when searching the USGS site. I had discounted the Spartanburg as there was no relation to George's Creek. I guess the Pole Bridge Forks must be (or was) a local term for small feature. Thanks for the help, Dave
