This is just FYI: I took my information from the 1850 - 1880 censuses plus marrige,
birth, death & military records. I have Eben Collar as having 14 children:
UNKNOWN WIFE:
Martha, Melinda, Eliza, Elizabeth, Thomas F. All birth years are the same as you have
except Thomas- He was listed as 6 yrs old in 1850 - so b.1844.
MARY "POLLY" STINER:
George Henry 1846 & James 1849
(I've always found my g.grandfather listed as George Henry.)
EMILINE STEVENSON:
Alonzo, (You don't have Pauline 1857), Mary, Phebe, Eugenia, John W., Henrietta (all
with the same b. years you have.)
Eben Collar died in Fort Wayne, IN on July 8, 1881 and is buried in Lindenwood Cemetery in
the "T" section. His death record said he was 59 years old. Actually, he was
69 yrs old! Over the span of 50 years he had at least 4 wives, 14 children and ended up
10 years younger! Quite a man!! :-)
