Biography

William Collinsworth was born in Appalachia, in Kentucky.

William Buckner Collinsworth was born on 30 June 1900, likely in Menifee County, Kentucky, United States where his parents resided. He was the son of Christpher Columbus Collinsworth and Amanda B (Gibson) Collinsworth.

In the 1910 census Buckner (age 9) was the son of Christopher Collingsworth in Checotah, McIntosh, Oklahoma.[1]

Buck registered for the World War I military draft in Tulsa County, Oklahoma.[2]

In the 1920 census Buckner (age 20) was the single son of Christopher C Collinsworth in Okmulgee County, Oklahoma.[3]

William (age 21) married Pernie Rhodes (age 18) on 2 March 1920 in Okmulgee County, Oklahoma.[4] They were parents of three known children. William must have gotten into some trouble with the authorities as he and Perna relocated from Oklahoma to Texas before 1928 and he temporarily changed his name to William E Simmons.

Perna & William's daughter Shirley Marie Simmons was born on 15 October 1927 in Odessa, Ector, Texas.[5]

In the 1930 census William (age 29) was the married head of household in Lubbock, Lubbock, Texas.[6]

William was again using his true last name when he registered for the World War II military draft on 14 February 1942 in Muskogee County, Oklahoma.[7]

William died (age 65) in May 1965 in Tulsa, Tulsa County, Oklahoma[8] and was buried in Memorial Park Cemetery, Tulsa, Tulsa County, Oklahoma.[9]
