She was the daughter of Noble and Gelina (Shouse) Collins.
She married James Perry Atkins on Aug. 29, 1894, in Grainger County, Tennessee. They were the parents of Lillie, Arch, Emmanuel, Gelina H, Horace Lawson, and Willie Atkins.
Her husband, James, is said to have died in the Brushy Mountain State Prison in Morgan County, Tennessee. However, I have been unable to find a record of his death.
On the 1920 Federal Census she was listed as the wife of Anderson Searce and she is listed on the 1930 census as Redy Searce, widowed. However, by the time of her death, she was again using Atkins as her surname and her husband was listed on her death certificate as James Atkins, deceased.
Her first name is a real mystery and a moving target. It is given variously as Relda, Reddia, Rettie, Redy, Reta and Rheda.
