I was born in Clay County, Ky, March 14, 1839. My grandfather came from N.C. early in this century. He settled on Island Creek, Owsley Co. My father was George McCOLLUM. He was born in Clay County, Ky. Dec 6, 1812. He was my grandfather's 4th child. My grandfather married in Kentucky. His wife was Rachel MORRIS. By these things we conclude that he must have come here near the close of the last century. When he came, the MORRISES, some of the BAKERS, some of the THOMASES, ALLENS, BUSHES, GILBERTS, CALLAHANS, ASHERS and BOWLINGS were here. My grandfather had the following children: Daniel, Robert, Perry, Stephen, George, Elizabeth (BOWMAN), Rachael (FISHER), John, Robert, Perry Stephen, John and Rachel went to Missouri. The rest lived in Owsley and Clay. As the name indicates, I have always understood we are Scotch-Irish. My grandfather lived to be over 90 years old. My mother was Ester ALLEN, daughter of Robert BAKER, a Captain in the War of 1812.
