My main concern is why was Hiram not in the picture,
Did he divorce & remarry,move, r
there are "at least" 5 Hiram Collins born in Va that migrated to
Indiana some have wives named Elizabeth and all are near the same age,
Im also trying to find the common link between Olive Collins Francis widow
of Reuben Francis somehow related to Hiram Collins as he was made guardian of
their minor children. Olive remarried Jacob Hoffman Source Citation: Year:
