Circumstantial Evidence aka Manley --family story (descent of George m Owens [IDR]

 In the 1920's, the Clarksburg (WV) Exponent-Telegram (newspaper)  sponsored a contest to see who owned the oldest Bible in the  area.  Oda Collins Cornell  of Clarksburg (a granddaughter of Hezekiah Collins)  brought in a Bible to the  newspaper office that they thought was a  first edition of the King James Bible (1611).  Oda Cornell claimed that this Bible belonged to her great-great-grandfather  Collins  who brought it with him from the Old World when he settled in Virginia.  This would mean that it belonged to John Collins Sr. (and presumably passed from John Sr. to George,

George to Hezekiah, Hezekiah to his son Manley (Martin), then from Manley (Martin)  to his daughter, Oda)

  • Reportedly youngest son Manley cared for Hezekiah and Roanna and they resided with Manley's family until their deaths[3])
