He married Elizabeth Bouldin, July 3, 1788, daughter of James Bouldin and Sally Watkins, of Charlotte County, Virginia.<\/p>\n

James was a large land owner in Lunenburg County and resided there until 1802, when he, with his little family, followed his father and other relatives to Abbeville District, South Carolina. He was a large planter in South Carolina until 1818, when he followed his sons to the territory of Alabama, his older sons having settled in that part of the Mississippi territory called Alabama in 1812. In Alabama, he settled on a large plantation in Madison county, where he lived and died.<\/p>

In the American Revolution, James Collier was wounded at the battle of Eutaw Springs by a sabre cut across his cheek, in a hand-to-had encounter with a British soldier. He killed the soldier and carried the scar on his face to his grave.<\/span>

I’m not sure why Abel Jackson felt it necessary to pay him in the Will for E. Mitchell (his mother). I can see his family and the Collier family ran in the same circles.\u00a0 John Mitchell and Elizabeth’s residence or the Will per say was Charlotte County, Virginia where James Collier married his wife. Both families Abel Jackson and James Collier moved to Abbeville District, South Carolina.\u00a0 It would be interesting to find out how he helped the family and why Abel in his will paid James Collier $125 in the name of his mother.\u00a0 If anyone figures it out let me know…<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
