Hi Don,
I finally remembered today where I put the cousin letter that I mentioned to you earlier. I scanned it but it is quite faded so I've transcribed it as well. The letter belonged to Ida Collins Rudd and was written by her cousin Hattie in Crittenden on December 22, 1884. From the clues in the letter I determined cousin Hattie to be Harriet Sheldon.
Hattie mentions that Pa will be 60 years old tomorrow. This would match Benjamin Sheldon's birthdate December 23, 1824. She also said Charlie told Ma he will come at New Years and I hope he will tell Herb and Chas. I think she is talking about Charles Rudd, as Herb and Chas that the company will not be complete with out them. This would be Ida's brothers. She also mentions Fred Stafford being there on Sunday. That would be their cousin, son of Martha Collins and Gardner Stafford.
I found an odd article in the newspaper in connection with Benjamin Sheldon.
Buffalo Morning Express July 3, 1886 page 8
Benjamin Sheldon of Crittenden, this county, was arrested yesterday by deputy Marshal Donohue.
Sheldon is charged with opening letters directed to other parties. United States Commissioner
Strong adjourned the case until Tuesday next to give the defendant time to procure witnesses.
Buffalo Evening News WEDNESDAY, JULY 7, 1886 Front page
Strictly Personal [Column]
Benjamin Sheldon has been acquitted of opening Mr. Rudd's letters, showing full authority for doing so.
This has to be about Charles Rudd, who was Ida Collins husband, or at least they had a child together in December of that year. I think he disappeared months before their daughter Ella was born.

Hi Don,
I'm a bit behind because of the holidays and I haven't found the letter yet but I know it is somewhere in one of my bins of genealogy related material. I'll keep on looking and send you a copy when I find it. The problem is that sometimes I move things around to try to be more organized and then months or years later I can't find them because I only remember where they used to be and not where I moved them.
Yes, I've seen your tree. I would love to find Prusia Collins maiden name but no one has stumbled on it yet. I don't know where the name Prusia or Prussia comes from but I think she may be of Scottish descent and born in New Jersey based on information published in a History and Biographical book in Michigan on Cyrenus Whaley, son of Matilda Collins and John Whaley.
Happy New Year and Happy Hunting!
Michele
