Virginia B.
"Jennie"
(Minard) Collins Hill
(1885- ? )
Virginia B. "Jennie (Minerd) Collins Hill was born in 1885 in or near Philippi, Barbour County, WV, the daughter of Henry C. and Sarah Catherine (Croston) Minerd.
Jennie married James Collins (1880- ? ), a native of Barbour County. She was age 16, and he 22, at the time. The ceremony was performed by Rev. A. Law Ireland at the Methodist Episcopal Church parsonage in Philippi on Dec. 15, 1902.
By 1910, when the federal census was taken, she was marked as "married" but living without James next to her parents. She worked that year as a wash woman, and her cousin Jake Miner boarded in her home.
She is thought to have married again on April 4, 1915, to Henry Hill (1897- ? ), a native of Harrison County, WV. Their fates after that are unknown.
