Biography

Temperance Collins was born 31 August 1843 in Tattnall County, Georgia, the daughter of Manning Collins and Nancy Keen Collins^[1]. In 1850^[2] and 1860^[3], she lived in Tattnall County with her parents and siblings.

She married Dyer C. Sikes 18 October 1866^[4][5].

Dyer Sikes and Tempie Collins Marriage certificate

In 1870, Dyer C. Sikes appears on the Tattnall County census^[6], with his wife listed as Penelope (NOTE: Could this be a mishearing on the part of the census taker of the name 'Tempie'? Additionally, there is no Amanda Sikes listed, she would have been about three, a Mitchell instead of Mike/Michael and a Perry, one-year-old, as well as Daniel Sikes, Dyer's brother, which leads me to believe this is the correct Dyer Sikes, with transcription errors.

They lived in Cobbtown, Tattnall County in 1880, with children Mitchell, General P., William S., Nancy A., Andrew J., E., Viannah, Eckman, Roan, and Jasper^[7].

She died around 1883, her burial location is unknown^[1].

She appears on the death records of her daughter Amanda Coleman^[8] and sons Mike Sikes^[9] and Ecmon^[10].
