    Notes:

    Very little is known about this man. He was Vina's biological father but she was raised by Sidney C. Ray who never officially adopted her. However, she had a very close relationship with her step-siblings.

    He is listed as Vina's father on documentation but he and Eliza NEVER married. Imagine the year being 1881 and you were unmarried *and* pregnant.

    My cousin was researching him when she was tragically killed in a one-car accident. She told me she had found he had his first wife "put away" or institutionalized so that he could marry another woman -- Mary Melissia WISEHART. But before she could send me the documentation ... She was researching in Kansas City.

    Notes:

    Isaac Milton Collins is *NOT* -- repeat -- **NOT** by 2nd great-grandfather although I had been told for years he was. Nor was the man (surname BRAY) his father -- it looks like Bray was never even IN Missouri.

    Isaac Milton Collins was orphaned when he was a few weeks old (in my family story he was 3 weeks old). Both his parents died. The ROOKS brought him up. Through much research, I found the Rooks daughter was his mother. Thus his grandparents raised him. My grandparents (Coffman's) talked about the Rooks family all the time when I was a little girl. I always wondered why but as a child, little girls did *not* ask questions about an adult-only conversation.

    More research showed that Isaac was a very popular name for this family. All of this was uncovered in the last few years (2019-).
