James McCollum was born in 1794 in Pickens County, South Carolina. He married Eliza Mullinax. She was born in 1809 in Pickens County, South Carolina. I do not know very much on this couple. When I first started researching this family, I had Eliza's maiden name as Mauldin. I am not sure where this came from since I have never seen a record with Mauldin on it. The death certificate of their son, William Earl, lists Eliza's maiden name as Mullinax. I do not know her parents. If anyone has a clue to point me towards them, please let me know!
I know of six children for this couple.
1. Jane Elizabeth McCollum was born in 1828 in Pickens County, South Carolina. She married William Peter Gilstrap. They had 8 children: William Andrew, John Wesley, Susan Athalinda, Elizabeth Ann, Sherman T., Martha Jane, Sarah Elizabeth and Emma Josephine.
2. Eliza A. McCollum was born in 1830 in Pickens County, South Carolina. I know very little on her. I know she was unmarried in 1860. Did she marry after 1860 or did she pass away? Any info is appreciated!
3. Malissa McCollum was born in 1832 in Pickens County, South Carolina. I suspect she married before she was 18, but to who?
4. James Wesley McCollum was born on July 31, 1835 in Pickens County, South Carolina. He married Jane S. Mauldin. They had 10 children: Harriett, James Lindsey, Lydia A., Ranson Nile, Elijah Cannon, Abraham Ford, Sallie Essie, Lillie Bell, Mary and Daisy. He died on January 20, 1905 in Pickens County, South Carolina. He and his wife were buried at Tabor United Methodist Church Cemetery in Pickens County, South Carolina.
5. Martha M. McCollum was born in November 1837 in Pickens County, South Carolina. She married Tillman Smith. They had the following children: Olivia and Laurence A. She died on January 30, 1931 in Pickens County, South Carolina.
6. William Earl McCollum is my ancestor. I will include more details on him in a future post.
James died after 1870 and Eliza died after 1860. Anyone know where they were buried?
