Continued: ================= I have the application jacket for William T. Collier. He
states he married "Bettie" in 1894. 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.
