Biography

When Mary Ann Olive and her twin, Merrill, were born on 18 May 1824, in Wake County, North Carolina, United States, her father, Asa Olive, a farmer/planter, was 34 and her mother, Elizabeth Gray, was 28. In addition to her twin, she had twin sisters, Lydia and Telitha, about ten years her junior. Brothers Asa and Eli were about five and six years younger than she. A sister, Rebecca, was about seven years younger than she, and a sister, Martha, was a year younger than the twin sisters. She married Isham Henry Collins, a farmer, who was also a land surveyor, on 23 April 1856, in Wake County, North Carolina. She lived in Buckhorn Township, Wake, North Carolina. She died on 14 February 1896, in Holly Springs, Wake, North Carolina, at the age of 71 (buried Collins Grove Baptist Church Cemetery, in Wake County). Her children: Charles Henry, Joseph Walter, and Artelia. Her life seems to have no interesting stories, but there is an interesting story about her after she died. She was the first wife, Mary Ann, of Isham Henry Collins, who had a second wife named Mary Ann, as well. In a dream her widower had, after her death, she came to his house with another woman she introduced as Mary Ann (Maryann). She showed the second Mary Ann all the cupboards and things in the house, where to find the various utensils. The next day, Isham, a surveyor (he had a deformed foot and could not serve in the Confederate Army), stopped at a house (for water) where the second Mary Ann answered the door. He recognized her from the previous night's dream. Eventually they married and were 'about as happy as any old couple is,' in their words. They, with the help of former slave, "Old Unca Dick," raised my father, as his father had died and his mother was involved in the running of property, household. and family, including stepchildren. - bcs 5/20/09
