Ulysses Grant Collins

(11 Nov 1880 - 1 Mar 1928)



Databases show that Ulysses first married Maude Bowers, 26 Jun 1898, Carter Co, TN - they had four children:
Maggie Juanita, b. 20 Aug 1899
Spurgeon Watson, b. 21 Nov 1900
Maynard C. b. 25 Jun 1901
Eston C., b. 2 Nov 1903
Maude died in 1905

Then Ulysses married Finie Carden, 22 Sep 1906, Carter Co. TN
Corbett Columbus is said to be their son, yet his birth is given as 15 Nov 1899 - the same year that Maggie was born to Maude. Either Corbett and Finie had a long-standing acquaintance, or the birth of Corbett is an error. However, it appears from the 1910 census that Corbett was NOT Finie's, son but a son of the first wife Maude. However, I very much suspect he was born in 1900, not 1899, because the 1900 census shows his sister Maggie, born in August of 1889, six months old.
