Read More	Ernst Heinrich Collins (Kölling) was born on 15 Jan 1785 or 86 at Eidinghausen, Westfalen, Prussia (Germany), the youngest of nine children of Johannes Friedrich Wilhelm Kölling and Anne Margarethe Ilsabein Wilkening. In Westfalen, it was customary for each farm to have a surname associated with it. While the surname was not the name of the farm, the family living on the farm took this surname. In this case the Hofname (farm name) was Trummelschlaeger. Records show that the name Trummelschlaeger was associated with Ernst’s father. Ernst was married twice. His first marriage was to Anne Marie Christine Wilhemine Stiegeman (1774-1820), the widow of his elder brother Johann Carl Diedrich (1769-abt 1805) by whom Christine had three daughters. At the time, it was not uncommon for a brother to marry his brother’s widow in order to take care of the family. Ernst and Christine married on 21 Dec 1806 in Eidinghausen. Together they had five children: Anne Marie Elizabeth Kölling (b. 1807), Ernst Heinrich Kölling (b. 1810), Christian Friedrich Wilhelm Kölling (b. 1813), Anne Marie Louise Kölling (1815-1901), and Heinrich Wilhelm Kölling (1818-1818). Christine died in 1820. On 27 Oct 1822 Ernst married Anne Elisabeth Margarethe Hanna Wallger (27 Oct 1792-abt 1860) at the Minden Monthly Meeting of Friends (Quakers) in Westfalen, Prussia. Together they had nine children, six born in Westfalen and three in the United States. The German born children were: Ernst Kölling, Jr. (1823-1863), Johannes Kölling (1825-1895), Elisabeth Kölling (1827-1869), David Kölling (1829-1912), Marie Kölling (1831-1909), and an unnamed infant son Kölling (28 Feb 1834-28 Feb 1834). On 3 Sep 1834, Ernst and Elisabeth arrived in New York, aboard the brig Wallace (Bremen to New York) with their five children. Ernst’s daughter Louise, from his first marriage, also came with them. They then went to Ohio, where Louise stayed and married David Miller. In Ohio, Ernst and Elisabeth had three more children: Daniel Kölling (1835-1912), Hanna Kölling (1838-1887), and Benjamin Kölling (b. abt 1840). At some point the surname changed from Kölling to Collins. In 1846 they bought a farm in Henry County, Iowa that remains in the family to this day. Ernst died sometime between 1846 and 1850. He is not listed on the 1848 Iowa Census nor on the 1850 U.S. census. Elisabeth died sometime between 1860 and 1861. Family members think that both he and Elizabeth may be buried in Salem South Cemetery, Henry Co, Iowa. If not there, they are possibly buried on the farm in Tippecanoe Twp, Henry Co, Iowa. While Quakers typically did not mark a gravesite with a headstone, a marker for him may have sunk into the ground years ago.
