Notes
General:
It is evident that Wiley was a twin to Spence Perry Collins. There are so many "alike" facts in their lives. They each married women named Eliza, married in the same year, had the same vocations and even after the separation of thousands of miles, gave their children very similar names.
Both Wiley and Spencer were minsters of the gospel while raising crops and children. Wiley, known only as Marion to the family, preached at the Old Log Church just off Rt. 3 on Daniels Creek in Kentucky. The original building still exists and many of the family are buried in the nearby cemetery.
Unfortunately, we still have a lot of gaps in the list of his children and whom they married.

Notes
General:
Pedigree chart from Virginia (Collins) Edgel show Birth date as 22 Jul 1862 and place as 'Daniel's Creek, Johnson Co., Kentucky. 48Marriage Notes (Mary Alverta Spears)
William and Mary were 2nd cousins. William was the descendent of Cynthia Spears and Christopher Collins. Mary was the descendent of Spencer Spears (Cynthia's brother) and Roseanna Wells.
This couple settled on the Sycamore branch of the Daniel's Creek, on land originally settled and farmed by the Spears family.
William followed his father in vocational pursuits. He was a well known circuit preacher and like his father , considered himself a Campbellitte. He is known to have preached on occasion at the First Christian Church in Ashland, Kentucky, but he was a circuit rider first and foremost. Farming may have beeen a side venture, but it was Vertie(Mary) who kept the farm going and raised the children. Her son, Hansford Winfield Collins, spoke many times of his mother sheering the sheep, carding the wood, spinning and weaving the cloth into needed clothing for her growing children.
It was Vertie who insisted the children get as much education as they could and taught them the necessary chores to keep the farm going. She died in Childbirth on 18 Oct 1909. The baby, a son, died also and was buried in his mother's arms. They rest next to William in the hillside graveyard on Daniel's Creek, across from the old home place. 15
