My John W. Collins b. 1797 VA/TN ( census different) d. aft 1870 probably McDowell Co. WV . Lived on Dix/Dick's Creek. 1 marriage found to Lydia Toner 1821 Grainger Co. TN 2) record never found Mary Roark. It is possible he left first and took up with second. I need death records but so far have found none. Courthouse at Welsh is no help. If someone has recorded deaths records for 1860-80 I would appreciate a look up. Brenda
