Grandpa collins name was shadrack. his son's names were; shadrack, meshack
and abedengo and some others I don't know.
Grandma collins maiden name was Eliza jane pounds and they called her
jane.
Jim dodd (james riley dodd) and ashley haywood were brothers. ashley
haywood
dodd married lucy cave and jim dodd married sarah cave. I do not know
if
the
girls were sisters or not I never knew their marriage dates. I never
knew
any
of them. I learned from a person doing research work. Lucy cave was
born
in
1808 or 1810 I do not know which. HER brother Henry W. cave was born
in
1808
or 1810 we don't know for sure. BUT the two are buried side by
side in the
dick hurt cemetary 3 miles south of milano, just off highway 36 on the
west
side .
Ashley haywood dodd and lucy dodd were louis taylor dodds parents. He had
one
brother "malcom dodd" younger than he was
(this eliminated james m. dodd because he was older--the only younger male
was henderson dodd* judy),
who was killed by a horse they were breaking to ride, the horse jumped
from
under him and kicked him to death in the chest and he died instantly.
They
had several sisters: one was elizabeth and she married theodore graabener
and
one was Louisa and she married a bowen.
One married john Dunlop (don'tknow who this one was * judy).
this is the end of the hand written pages from mrs H.E. DOdd or maudie
mclean
written before 1965. Sent to judy by uncle jake or john taylor dodd
of
milano. milam co.
