James Collins was married to Priscilla Summers, their son James M. Collins was married to Mahala Summers. His twin brother John Riley Collins was married to Martha Jane Whittenburg. He later married Ida Mae Sullivan, daughter of Joseph Sullivan and Sarah Forester. Their sister Ruth E. Collins married Sam Malone, then Stephen Howard. I am a decendent of James M. and Mahala. James was in the Black Hawk War (1832) and received land for his payment. The deed was signed by President Fillmore. A home was built on the land and more generations of Collins grew up there, including my Mother.
