Source: Journal Kept by Luman Jones Collins to Establish the "Heirs of the so called David Sutton Estate", dated: 16 April 1888, Decatur, Illinois, handed down to Alexis Byron Collins Jr. and in turn given to me his cousin Marilyn Pederson. Note: As far as we can tell there was no estate left for the Collins descendants, and this all proved to be nothing but a Hoax, contrived by lawyers, and no one ever received a dime from the Estate, but none the Less it has provided a wealth of invaluable information on the genealogy on this Collins family, and for that we are forever grateful to Luman Jones Collins for recording the information,(Marilyn Pederson)
