He claims Bettie was married twice before, the first time to "George Williams" the second time to"Emery Thompson". Later when questioned by Starr, William states George Williams was from "Chelsea" and Emery Thompson from "PantherCreek". He claims to have five children, three by Bettie and the other two"are hers before we were married". "One by her first and I guess the other by her second as far as I know". Sarah Collier was also questioned she states her name is "Sarah Collier" (aka Bettie Jackson) and her first husband was "George Williams and her second "Emery Thompson". Based on the information in this enrollment jacket, Bettie was Sarah Rebecca Jackson the daughter of James A. Jackson and Susie Bible and the mother of "Maggie B Bickford" - (daughter), Missouri A. Collier- (daughter), Jasper N. Collier - (son), Alice M. Collier -(daughter) and William A. Collier - (son). In light of the above information, Maggie B Bickford is the daughter of George Williams and when her mother, Bettie, married William Collier she became known as Maggie B Collier.
