The next place we find James Collins is in the 1880 US Census. He is still living in Richwood Township, Richland County in southwestern Wisconsin.
He is still working as a farmer. He now has 5 children living with him and his wife Elizabeth, including my wife’s great-grandfather, Albert. This census also lists his birth place as Indiana and lists the birthplace of his parents as Maryland and Delware.
