.< As far as I have been able to determine, Kizziah Collins. (b.1793) was
married to Joseph >.
<The 1850 Census of Washington County, N.C. lists
Kizziah at age 57, but does not list Joseph. I assume he had passed away by
1850.
Emanuel, age 34-
-Charlotte, age 30-
-Ellen, age 20--
William, age 17
John, age 16.
There was another child of this marriage--Sarah,(also listed at age 34 in
the 1850 census)who was married to James A. Clifton(age 36) At that time,
their children were--Henderson(10),
Nancy(8),
Elizabeth(6),
Mark(listed as Margaret,which I suspect is an error) age(2) Sarah and James
had more children--
Jimaine b.27Mar,1856,
Mary b.1859 and
Amanda Caroline b.25 Oct. 1851,d.25 Jan. 1903.Amanda was my grandmother, who
married John Hampton Sawyer--b.29 Feb.1836 d. May 1913.My mother,Jodie,b.12
April 1893,d.5 June 1978, was one of 10 children of this marriage .Where do
you fit into the family tree? Do you live in the North Carolina area? I have
not been able to trace back any furthur than Kizziah.
I have found that Emaniel Collins is buried in the Piney Grove Church
Cemetary on Pea Ridge Rd., in Washington Co. N.C. My grandparents are also
buried there.I have been in contact with others searching this family line.
Would you like to contact them also? Hoping to hear from you. Dot Smith
Hello Dot.
Thanks so much for getting in touch with me. I am definitely interested in
talking with anyone who is researching this line. First let me say that I am
from the Chowan County area of NC and presently living near Fort Wayne In.
My children still live in Edenton, NC I started researching my son-in-law's
family lines and they have lead here.
His mother was from Washington Co NC., Lottie Chambers(b1918)
Lottie's father was Benj Chambers who married Cappie Davenport (B1887)
Cappie's parents were W. Monroe Davenport and Kizziah Collins(b1860)
Kizziah Collins parents were Emanuel Collins(b1815) and Harriet Frances ?
(maybe Eure)
I have been told by another researcher that Emanuel Collins mother was Kiziah
Clifton (b1793) and married _____?______Collins.
I would like to ask where you found the grave of Emanuel Collins at the
Piney Grove Cemetery. I looked at the Washington county cemetery listing and
did not find that one. Please let me know if you visited that cemetery, I
would like to know the death date for Emanuel if you have it.
What has lead you to believe that Joseph Collins was the husband of
Kiziah?
Have you found a marriage record? I have been looking everywhere for it
without success.
I have a friend that is at the Archives in Raleigh this week and is
going to Washington Co Court house before returning home. Hopefully she will
have some more answers.
Let me hear from you soon
Alice
