History of Thomas Newton Collier who married Mary Arletha Padgett about 1890?

Question

Looking for family history of Thomas Newton Collier who married Mary Arletha Padgett, daughter of George Washington Padgett and Amanda "Mandy" Florilla Moncus.  Thomas Collier and Mary Padgett were married in about 1890.  The Padgett's were living in Randolph Co, AL.  Thomas and Mary later went to Ogelthorpe Co. GA.  

Does anyone have history to share on William Billy Moncus or his wife, Mary C Polly Leathers, who were the parents of Amanda "Mandy" Florilla Moncus?

Answer 1

From an Ancestral File, Amanda Moncus was born 21 May 1841 in GA. She married George Washington Padgett on May 1864. The couple had 6 sons and 3 daughters, including Mary Arletha Padgett.

Amanda Moncus' parents were William and Mary (Leathers) Moncus. Amanda's paternal grandfather was Benjamin Moncus

Would you have any more information on date and or place of birth for Thomas N. Collier or Mary A. Padgett? Is there a time frame in years for when the moved to GA and how long they stayed?

Thomas Newton Collier (born 7/4/1868) and Mary Arletha Padgett moved to Ogelthorpe County GA.  I think it was Montezuma, GA.  I don't know when they moved but it was some time after 1893 when my g-grandmother was born.  They stayed in Montezuma until they died.  They had 6 sons and 3 daughters.  Thomas R Collier, born 7/29/1891; Minnie Corine Collier born 11/7/1893; Artie Mae Collier born 9/26/1895; William O Collier born 4/1897; James O Collier born 10/1898; Loomis G Collier b 12/1899; Walter Collier born 1901; Earlie Collier; Archibald S Collier; and Owens Collier.  Thomas Newton Collier died 2/3/1937.  Mary A Padgett Collier died in 1967.  They are buried in Montezuma GA.  Minnie Corine is my g-grandmother, she married William Marion Allen and had 5 girls and 3 boys.  All are dead now except the youngest son and daughter.

Answer 2

Found some census data indicating Thomas b.  July 1868 in AL.  There is a Thomas of the correct age in an 1870 AL census - but no proof he's the correct one.  Moncus/Leathers marriage recorded in Carroll, GA 1833
