Elizabeth Collins is my greatgranmother to...
The only thing that my mother knew about the great grandparents is that she and her daughter Amanda Louise Jones both had sons out of wedlock...
----
Said she could not remember the details any longer on who they were...
She died back in 1993 so I am out of luck there..
Might have to check the Probate Records and Land Deeds to see if if he gave her any land or money in an inventory or will..
Still waitibf die nicrofilm to come in for Tyler but its slow going theose micro films..
