BLACKBURN, COLLINS, PAINE, SCALF, VARNEY, WHITE -
Edward Collins b. 1816 Russell Co., Va. Possibly to Isaac Collins or Issac Collins and Nancy Blackburn. Sure about Edward, Not sure about parents. Have Edward's civil war pension records. He married 1. Elizabeth unknown 1840 & had ch: George b. 1840 - John Edward b. 1842 - Edward b. 1844 - Mary, Susan, James Etc.,. They show up in Russell Co., Va census 1860. All data names, dates etc, match family records. Need maiden name for Elizabeth; thought it may be Scalf. An Elizabeth Scalf was born 1816 in Russell Co., Va and married an unknown Collins. Again just a guess. My Elizabeth Collins died 1872 in Boyd County KY near Laural Creek. Edward than married 2. Susan Paine, Varney, White in Wayne Co., WVA 1877 and returned with her to his farm in Boyd Co., Ky. Susan's statement in pension records claim Edward may also have been called Isaac - possible link to parent ??? Now have Edward ; the rest is still a brick wall.
