I think #22 is your great grandfather Jeff Clay Collins and Mary Collins is your great-grandmother and my grandmother who I never knew. (She perished when struck by lightning when Mary Louise, my mother, was 3 years old. I wonder where Mary Louise is? She would be a year younger than Jeff.

His daughter Mary Louise Collins “Makey” was my Granny. She had a brother Arthur whom they called Ossie, I’m guessing because of the boy in the picture. She also had a brother named Clay after their grandfather. There were other siblings as well. Only two are still living.
