Notes for MARY ANN COLLINS:
Mary was quite a modern lady. She was the first licensed midwife in VA.
Mom said she loved the job and would go stay for a week or longer while
waiting for the baby to come. - Lena Hopkins

1st Albert Akers - from notes of daughter Ruby Leigh Mabe sent by her son in-law, Richard Shaw.
I have his name as Edward, but will change to Albert given this close relationship to the informant.

2d Robert Howlett (Irish) who died in the Chicago fire - from notes of daughter Ruby Leigh Mabe sent by her son in-law, Richard Shaw.
Adds his first name. As far as I know the Great Chicago fire was in 1871, so I'm not sure what this means.

According to the 1900 census she had one more child born and died before 1900, but there is no way to determine with which husband.

Re: Mary Ann Collins born May 16, 1870

Add children of her 1st husband Edward Ackers (his name btw might be
Aker...I get conflicting info from various folks):
1. Pearl Ackers married unknown Criggar
2. Elizabeth (aka Lizzie) Ackers married Johnny Jones

Add children of her 2nd husband R. J. Hallet (another obscure name, which
may be Howlett)
1. Rose Hallett married unknown Jackson
2. Ethel Hallett married Ernest Jackson

Regarding her 3rd husband Thomas Jefferson Mabe and children:
1. Thomas Jefferson Mabe - add date of birth Sep 12, 1859
2. Son Henry Arthur Mabe - correct first name is Harry
3. Infant Mabe born Aug 13,1901 - add buried in the Mabe Cemetery, Max
Meadows.

4. Daughter Willie Hannah Mabe - was still alive in 1996; add children for
her and Louran C. Jackson:
a. Genivieve Jackson
b. Infant Jackson (female) born and died Apr 7, 1920 in Wythe Co., buried
Mabe Cemetery, Max Meadows
c. Infant Jackson (female) born and died Jul 29, 1921 Wythe Co., buried
Mabe Cemetery, Max Meadows

5. Son Thomas Marshall Mabe and 1st wife Dolly Jackson (Ethel Duncan was
his 2nd):
Thomas Marshall died before 1996
a. Son Terry - add unknown wife -she died in an auto accident.

6. Son Samuel Jefferson Mabe - you may want to note that he is not the son
of Thomas Jefferson Mabe and Mary Ann Collins. He is Mary Ann's grandson,
son of Elizabeth aka Lizzie Akers (mentioned above); I have no idea who his
father is, but assume Mary and Tom adopted him.

7. Daughter Sallie Lou Mabe - correct date of death is Dec 24, 1906.

8. Son Walter Sanders Mabe - both he and his wife were still alive in 1996.

9. Daughter Ethel Frances Mabe - she died before 1996. I just noticed her
name and that of her spouse, Ernest B. Jackson, are ironically (? I doubt
it) the same as her half sister and her spouse (see Ethel Hallet above). I
have no idea what is right or wrong here, so I'm just making a note about
this similarity.

10. Daughter Ruby Leigh Mabe. Her obit (below) provides some detail that
can be added. She and Marvin Cecil Clark were married Mar 10, 1936.
