Lydia Ann CECIL was born in Ohio in 1851 (Tuscarawas County?). She married Jacob COLLINS
in 1872, and she died in 1898 in Jackson County, OH. Jacob did not remarry; he died in
1919. All but one of the children of Lydia and Jacob died young. A granddaughter
recently found Jacob's Bible; tucked in it there are several unidentified photographs,
including one of a woman who was probably Lydia. Also a note handwritten by Jacob Collins
that says Aden CECIL was born Dec. 15, 1818, and died Feb. 20 1886; no further information
on him or a spouse. Was Aden CECIL Lydia's father? Who were Lydia's mother and
siblings? I am willing to share the information I have with anyone researching this CECIL
family. Maybe together we can identify the photos.
