Michelle interviewed Leona Hardee who was 88 at the time. Her is what Michelle said:
She told me also that Isom had whiskers all over his face, always told all truth, and was a carmelite, but didn't go to church.
Leona is big boned and has red hair...that is what she told me :)
She is the one that mentioned that Marry married TRIGG.
Isom's brothers:
Willis--wife Tenissy E
Clay
Neal
Aunt Mary Trigg
Belle
Nicklas
Leona couldn't remember which but someones mother was Wakefield

John Collins, the grandson of Isom and son of Zack says that Isom was actually born in 1851 and that the birth information on his headstone is wrong.

Sarah HAISLIP [Parents] was born 1 Apr 1865 in TN. She died UNKNOWN. Sarah married 2 Isom (Isham) Washington COLLINS on 16 Nov 1887 in Marshall Co., TN.

Below is a copy of a letter that I have from Lizzie Street Wallace to M.D. East. The original is kept at the U. of North Carolina, Chapel Hill Library.

Lizzie Wallace to M.D. East
Chico, Wise Co. TX
            Dec. 20, 1896

Mr. M.D. East, Denton Co.

Dear Sir: I am at this place visiting, accidentally saw your notice in the Baptist Standard of Waco, TX in regard to our Cam McDougal. He died about two years ago in Oct. 1894. I think I can get you the exact date of his death when I go home. He was living with his second wife (his first wife was an East) at Aubrey, Denton Co, TX. His son in law Hon. Jno Watson is living in Houston, Tex is now ____ (can't read what this said) of the Masonic Grand Lodge. His (Watsons) first wife who was Kate McDougal died years ago leaving one girl baby who is now grown and married. Her address two years ago was Mrs. Lallie Mason, Clarksville, Red River Co, Tex. This girl is the only living offspring of A.C. McDougal.
I am a descendent of one of the East sisters who came to Texas about the same time. They were Kitty, Martha and my grandmother. Martha and grandmother both married men by the name of Pace. Martha never had children. Grandmother had 4. My mother (Melinda), Edwin, Eugenia and David. Edwin died when a child, Eugenia married, died and has only 2 children living, Rev. H.E. Luck of Oak Cliff, Tex and Miss Jessie Luck of Waco, Tex.
Uncle David when last heard from was at Lamasco, Tex. I don't know how many children he has. My mother is Mrs. J.K. Street of Lampasses, Tex. She has 2 children, myself and my sister Kate.
My grandmother and grandfather both died when their children were small. Uncle Scion and Aunt Martha Pace raised the children. Martha and Scion are both dead.
Your name led me to believe you would be interested in all the East family who are in Tex. I want you to write to me and tell me who you are. You can learn the particulars of Uncle Macs death by either writing to Mrs. Mason or Mrs. Watson. My address is Mrs. J.E. Wallace, Belton, Bell co, Tex.
Uncle Mac married a widow (Mrs. Hyatt) the second time. I think she is still at Aubrey, Tex. Please let me hear from you, our family is not very large and I know very little about any of them out of this state.

Respectfully,
Lizzie Wallace

This was the letter that Lizzie was replying to:
Texas Baptist Standard Waco, TX Vol.9 #3
Thursday December 17, 1896
Will some reader of the Standard give me the address of a Methodist preacher named Cam McDougal? He once lived at Waco, and at Paris. He went to Texas from Tishomingo county, Miss., about the year 1852. His son-in-law once lived in Paris. His name was John Watson. He was a saddler by trade. M.D. East, Denton, AR

2 Females of 10 and under 15
1 Female of 30 and Under 40

Willis Davis was living near Robert Wallace in 1830

(Since Robert Wallace and Mary Fancher were not married until 1828 it appears that Mary was married before since there are 2 females in the household who were born 8-13 years before their marriage. Could Fancher have been her married name when she married Robert and if so, what is her maiden name? I believe now that she was Mary Daivs who married Henry Fancher and had 2 daughters, Mary Ann and Eliza.)

Found this marriage also in Bibb Co.:

The 1860 Bienville Parish Census is missing so there is no way to look for the families in 1860.

Mary "Molly" "Polly" DAVIS FANCHER [Parents] was born 1 about 1800 in TN. She died Bef 1862 - Aft. 1850 in Attala Co., MS Or Bienville Parish, LA. Mary married 2 Robert WALLACE on 2 Oct 1828 in Bibb Co., AL.

Other marriages:
FANCHER, Henry

Working Notes:

There are many family trees on the Internet stating that Mary Fancher daughter of Richard Fancher first married William Davis and secondly married Robert Wallace. This cannot be true. The Mary Fancher mentioned in the will of Richard Fancher was deceased when it was written on June 22, 1847 and the Mary or "Molly" that married Robert Wallace was alive in 1850 in Attala Co., MS. So this Mary cannot be the daughter of Richard but must be the daughter of someone else.

I believe at this moment that Mary Davis who married Henry Fancher in Montgomery Co. AL, married Robert Wallace after Henry died. In the 1830 Bibb Co, Census, Robert has 2 females age 10-15 living in his household which is the right age of Mary's 2 girls by Henry - Eliza and Mary Ann. Later in 1850 in Attala Co., MS,  Middleton Pool and wife Mary Ann (Fancher) daughter of Mary Davis Fancher are found living near Robert Wallace and wife Mary Ann (Davis Fancher) Why else would Middleton Pool and wife Mary have gone to Attala Co, MS? Mary Ann Fancher Poole has a daughter Mary and Eliza and a son Henry. I am still searching for Mary's 2nd daughter, Eliza.
I also believe that Ransom and Person Davis who are witnesses in Henry Fanchers will are either brothers or uncles.

Johnson Fancher, J.F. Fancher and Jesse Lard were witnesses to the Will of Robert Wallace
