Hi Mark
Thanks for the info. I had Larrys email once but can't find it now. I have
his book and really enjoyed reading it. Larry and I are 3rd or 4th cousins.

Would you check your database for this name ? William M. Collins 1840-
(1863 or 1865). From the Terre Haute area or possibly Prairie Creek or
Prairieton.
Thanks,
Steve
