William Ezzard Collier of Georgia
Hello,
I am seeking information on William Ezzard Collier of Georgia (ca 1848 – ca. 1888), son of Henry George Collier and Martha Hester Wilson. I would be interested in any information on him (and his wife), including birthplace, date of death and place of burial, as well the names of any children.
I think that he may be the William E. Collier listed in the 1880 GA census in Fort Valley, Houston Co., GA. This William Collier married Lillie Clyde Byington (b. 1858 in Albany, GA) of Fort Valley and had at least two children, both daughters: Lucy (b. ca. 1883) and Willie (b. ca. 1886). Since these two daughters later (1900 and 1910 census) appear in the household of their uncle in Florida, I suspect that William Collier and wife might have died in the 1880s or 1890s. Also, if anyone has information on what became of these daughters (living in Tampa, FL in 1910) I would be interested.
Thanks,
Mark Byington
