Jessie Josephine Webber Collins
I have three old studio photographs belonging to the WEBBER Family of Arkansas and Massachusetts including the following:
#1 - Ai Ami WEBBER taken at the Bankes Studio in Little Rock, AR, taken in 1870's or 1880's, appears to be in his teens at the time, note "Died Sept 1924 at Batesville, AR"

Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding this family:

Ai Ami was one of 9 children born to this couple including Sarah Elizabeth or Jane; Ai Ami; Jesse or Jessie Josphine; Ella Eva; Eva J.; Iva Irene; Tyler Elias; Gertrude Garnett; and Jones WEBBER, all born between 1860 and 1883.

Ai Ami died 13 Sept 1924 in Batesville, AR and is buried in the Oaklawn Cemetery in that city.
His sister Jessie Josephine WEBBER was b. 27 Mar 1864 in Adelphi, IA to the same parents and married John Jackson COLLINS (1860-1925) on 28 Apr 1883 in Pulaski County, AR and they had two children including John Joseph Ami COLLINS (1883-1965) and Kittie Jennie Ella COLLINS JOHNSON (1885-1941). Jessie died 29 Jan 1937 and is buried in the Oak Cemetery in Fort Smith, AR.
His brother Jones WEBBER was b. 22 Dec 1883 in Benton, AR to the same parents and he died in April 1885 and is buried in the Webber Mausoleum in the Oakland Cemetery in Little Rock, AR.
I’d like to get the photographs to a family member and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.

Fannie May Collins Spofford
I have two old studio photographs belonging to the SPOFFORD Family of Massachusetts. The first is a photograph of Albert SPOFFORD which was taken at the W. C. Thompson Studio in Amesbury, MA. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Albert appearing to be in his 20's or 30's at time. He is also identified as "Uncle".
The second photograph is identified as "Aunt Fannie S." and was taken at the same studio in Amesbury, MA. I believe that this is a photograph of Albert's wife Fannie May COLLINS SPOFFORD which was also taken in the 1880's. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding this couple and their families:
Albert K. SPOFFORD was b. 21 Oct 1856 in Chester, NH to parents Jason SPOFFORD and Susan E. PARSONS who were married 1 Jan 1849. Albert was one of 9 children born to this couple including Sebastian; Jason Jr.; Caroline J.; Albert K.; Charles P.; George McClellan; Elmer E.; Alice G.; and Osman SPOFFORD, all born between 1850 and 1872.
Albert married Fannie May COLLINS (1861-1949) on 23 Nov 1889 in Amesbury, MA. They had a son, Ralph Oliver SPOFFORD (1890-1951). Albert died 24 Dec 1938 in Amesbury, MA and he is buried in the Mount Prospect Cemetery in Amesbury.
Fannie May COLLINS was b. 20 Mar 1861 in Salisbury, MA to parents Moses COLLINS (1819-1903) and Abigail MORRILL (1821-1899) who were married 29 Oct 1843 in Salisbury, MA. Fannie was one of 7 children born to this couple including Laura Frances; Abby Morrill; Benjamin Morrill; Anne; Salome French; Moses Everett; and Fannie May COLLINS, all born between 1844 and 1861.
Fannie died in 1949 and is buried in the Mount Prospect Cemetery in Amesbury, MA.
I would love to get these treasured photographs back to family and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be.

Michael Collins, born on October 16, 1890, was an Irish revolutionary leader who played a crucial role in the fight for Irish independence from British rule in the early 20th century. He is remembered today as one of the most important and influential figures in modern Irish history.
Born in County Cork, Collins grew up in a family with strong nationalist beliefs, and his early experiences of British oppression in Ireland fueled his passion for the cause of Irish freedom. Collins quickly rose to prominence within the Irish Republican Brotherhood, and became a key figure in the Easter Rising of 1916, which sought to establish an Irish Republic.
Following the rebellion, Collins was imprisoned but later released, and went on to lead the Irish War of Independence against British forces, using guerrilla tactics to great effect. Despite his successes, Collins remained a controversial figure, both within Ireland and abroad, and his life was tragically cut short when he was assassinated in 1922 at the age of just 31.
Today, Collins is remembered as a hero of the Irish independence movement, a fierce and determined leader who helped to pave the way for the establishment of an independent Irish state.
Michael Collins was buried in Glasnevin Cemetery in Dublin, Ireland, on August 28, 1922, six days after his death. The funeral was attended by thousands of mourners, including many of Collins' fellow revolutionaries and political leaders from across Ireland.
Collins' grave in Glasnevin Cemetery has become a place of pilgrimage for Irish nationalists and those interested in Irish history.

Philip David Charles Collins, better known as simply Phil Collins, was born and brought up in West London and began his entertainment career early. He began playing drums at the age of 5, and completed drama school training as a young child. His first major acting role was at age 13 as the Artful Dodger in "Oliver!' in the West End of London.
By 1970, Phil was focusing on his music and joined the group Genesis as the drummer. He became the lead singer of the band in 1975.
By the 1980s, he had begun a solo career, releasing albums such as the popular Face Value (1981), Hello, I Must Be Going (1982), No Jacket Required (1985) and But Seriously (1989). And as of 2022, and nearly 4 decades later, he is still going strong.
Phil has been married 3 times and has 5 children according to Philip David Charles Collins: Family Tree & Friends. He published his autobiography, Not Dead Yet, in 2016, which chronicled his marriages.
Phil developed hearing loss in 2000 and although doctors said that "nothing could be done", by 2002 he had recovered his hearing. The temporary loss was caused by a viral infection and treatment resolved the problem. He has also suffered from type 2 diabetes, dislocated vertebrae, and alcoholism.

I've been researching my Collins line for 24 years but most of my facts have been recent. I discovered that two of my relatives were actually the same man! The strange twist happens later after Amos Collins born 1784 migrated from Va. to Ky. One of his sons was named John Gilbert Collins born 1812. John Gilbert Collins had two sons, one named John Collins b:1843 and the other named Solomon b:1852.
I am a descendant from both these man, brothers, John and Solomon Collins. John Collins on my fathers side, and Solomon Collins on my mothers side. The story goes that when John Collins returned from the Civil War he changed his last name to Davidson. Generations later, my parents marry.
This is what made completing my family tree difficult. On my fathers side, John Davidson was actually born John Collins. Where one's life seem to stop at around 1863, the others life began and it all happened by a simple name change.
The moral of this story is, when you start researching your family tree, be prepared for a few surprises! Especially when you get your Y-DNA or mtDNA done.

I don't know really who my dad was. I am hoping someone out there can be of help. What I know is he was a expert sharp-shooter, served in the military, served as a cop in California as well as in Colorado. His mother's name was Lola Valentine (Wallace)? I've met her once. I understand the family moved to Colorado, I also have 2 brothers out there somewhere? This is truly a mystery. I can't remember last names, only first names. Anyone know anything?
Please help.

Sarah COLLINS was born in Ireland about 1824 according to her death record or 1833 according to the 1900 census or even later from the 1880 census. In 1862, she was living in Cleveland, Ohio. She married James SHAUGHNESSY in Cleveland on May 11, 1862 shortly after his first wife died. Their marriage license shows her name as Jean Collins. James eldest son, David enlisted in the Union Army and fought during the Civil War. James other son, also named James, ran away from home in 1864 at the age of sixteen and got a job shoeing horses for the Confederate Army at Nashville, Tennessee. After the civil war was over in 1865, the younger James returned to Cleveland staying only a short while before he enlisted in the United States Army in 1865 to go to fight Indians in Wyoming. James and Sarah had two more children. Apparently, James and Sarah moved to Marion, Ohio before Margaret was born November 14, 1865. Finally, John Thomas was born January 29, 1869. When John was born his father was 49 and his mother was about 45. His sibling's ages were David 26, James 21, Mary 13, all half-brothers and sisters and his sister Margaret was 4. Apparently, the Margaret born about 1855 died as a child.
The family moved back to Cleveland, Ohio in 1880 after working for the railroad. Sarah's husband, James died August 30, 1883 at the age of 63 after 21 years of marriage. Sarah had her youngest son John sign the burial receipt for his father's burial at St. John's Cemetery. Margaret moved out west to Colorado probably living with her half-brother James and his family in Hugo.
Between 1880 and 1896 Sarah and her son John moved at least seven times before settling on 92 Lindus that would later be renamed 1390 East 90th Street. John from age 20 to 27 was listed in the City Directory as a painter or wood finisher. Sarah's daughter, Mary, who lived in Cleveland, got married May 31, 1888. Her other daughter, Margaret, living in Colorado was married on December 31, 1888. Mary had two children and Margaret had five. However, Sarah's daughter Mary died May 8, 1895 at the young age of 38. This left her two children under the age of six to be raised without their mother.
Sarah's youngest son, John, married Louise Blondin on May 27, 1896 and lived in his own home with his wife for about a year before the couple moved in and began living with his mother. Their first child, Adele, was born April 17, 1897. Nina, their second child was born in March 1900. Unfortunately, Nina died when she was only 17 months old. Louise gave birth to a boy February 3, 1902 but he only lived three hours. John and Louise had two more children, Lawrence and Marion. According to the City Directory in1904/5, Sarah lived at a different address. Was this a mistake or was she living somewhere getting nursing care? Sarah had 9 grandchildren when she died of pneumonia in her home at 1390 E. 90th St. N. E. in Cleveland, Ohio January 10, 1907 at the age of 73. Her funeral was from St. Thomas Aquinas church at 8:30 a. m. Saturday morning. She was buried next to her husband, daughter and two grandchildren in St. John's Cemetery (part 10 range 5 section 2 No. 5).
