Dwight, my interest at the present time is this. Concerning Mary Jane and who she married. See Census records below: I am pretty sure Mary Jane Collins is mother of Dianah Collins who was mother of children by Samuel and Granville Combs. JB

Further, Dwight, these sources lend a little more info for you to consider. Per the Adams Family of Southeastern Kentucky Book, Dorothy Griffith; Rockhouse Moses Adams had a son by Hannah Collins, and he reared him as Hiram Adams. This Hiram married Dianah Collins. See page 146. In Appalachia Crossroads by Clayton R Cox, page 140 also mentions Hiram and Dianah (Amburgey) as parents of Moses Adams born 1888. On page 147 of the Adams book lists Hiram Adams, Moses' son by Hannah Collins married Dianah Collins on 14 July 1881 Letcher MR 6:13. They had at least one child Moses Adams. Hiram was called Bad Hiram and was killed by two men at his fathers home. JB Francis
