From the History of the 13th Regiment, Tennessee Volunteer Cavalry, US Army

CAPTAIN GILSON O. COLLINS, CO. M.
Gilson O. Collins is a Carter county man, and remained steadfast to the Union
cause through many dangers and difficulties. Being a man of decided opinions
and with courage to assert and maintain them, he early lost favor with the
Confederate authorities. After assisting to burn the bridge at Union, or
Zollicoffer, as detailed elsewhere, and engaging in the Carter county
rebellion he fled to Kentucky and joined the 2d Tennessee Mounted Infantry and
served with that regiment until its capture, Nov. 6, 1863. Collins, at that
time a private soldier absented himself from his command on account of
striking a Federal officer for making disparaging remarks about Tennesseeans,
and though his absence was known and approved by Col. Carter he was marked on
his company rolls as a deserter. Since the war the facts were made known and
he received an honorable discharge from th? 2d Tennessee Infantry as well as
from the Thirteenth Tennessee Cavalry. Captain Collins was commissioned as
Captain March 22d, 1865, and assigned to duty with Company M. He was in
command of his company in the last Stoneman raid in pursuit of President
Davis. Captain Collins is still living near Valley Forge, Carter countv. Tenn.

Something happened between 1870 and 1880 which caused the family to split up. Perhaps it was the death of Emily Collins, as she does not appear on the 1880 Carter Census. In 1880: James and Jane are living in the household of the Reverend J.H. Hyder. Olly is living with James Scott and working in the Scott Mill.
