I am doing some research for a friend whose grandparents were Clyde A. Collins and Emma Mary Sheets. Her great grandparents were George Collins and Lydia Ann Tasker Collins. I found death certificates for George and Lydia. George Collins (b 1846) was the s/o John (no mother is listed). I believe George was born in PA, although there are censuses that say VA/ WV. Lydia Ann Tasker (b 1846 in VA/ WV) is the d/o Henry and Matilda Tasker according to her death record. There are lots of Taskers in Monongalia and Preston Counties but I have not found Henry. From reading old messages from the archives of this mailing list, I see that many of the Collins families in Preston County are descended from a large family in Fayette Co., PA. The parents for Emma Mary Sheets listed on her death certificate are Henry and Matilda Sheets. I have not found a Henry Sheets in censuses so far. Is anyone researching these families? Do you have any ideas for me. Thank you. JoAnn Cupp Grass Valley, CA
