A World War I draft card from Toombs County has an Alfred Clayton Collins born 4 December 1886 in Stillman?, Georgia, he has a wife and 5 children as of 5 June 1917. He was tall, slender, blue eyes, light hair, not bald and he signed his name with an X, so he may have been illiterate.
Hope this helps some.
