Evidence

According to the 1867 Saint Louis City Gould's Directory, a man named John Collins was a laborer who lived at 1705 Wash Street.

According to the 1869 Saint Louis City Gould's Directory, a man named William Collins was a riverman who lived at 1721 Carr Street.

According to the 1869 Saint Louis City Gould's Directory, a man named John Collins was a riverman who lived at 1721 Carr Street.

Numerous Saint Louis City Gould's Directories from 1871-1895 list a William Collins as a cook or riverman, or a similar position.

Numerous Saint Louis City Gould's Directories from 1871-1895 list a John Collins as a cook or riverman, or a similar position.

The 1880 U.S. Federal Census lists John Collins as a "cook on boat", a "cook on the river", and also links him to his family.[14][15]

The 1900 U.S. Federal Census lists John Collins as a "steamboat cook", and also links him to his family.[16]

The 1880 U.S. Federal Census lists William Collins as a "cook on steamboat", and also links him to his family.[17]

William Collins was buried in Calvary Cemetery in Saint Louis, Missouri, in Section 11, Lot 560, along with his wife, son James (1876-1876), and a grandson.[18]

James P. Collins was buried in Calvary Cemetery in Saint Louis, Missouri, in Section 11, Lot 560, which is the family plot of William Collins.[19]

According to the death notice of James P. Collins, he lived at 1633 Wash Street in Saint Louis, Missouri.[20]

According to the Saint Louis City Gould's Directory, John Collins lived at 1633 Wash Street from 1888-1895, whereas William Collins lived at 1448 O'Fallon Street from 1888-1895.

According to the Saint Louis City Coroner's Inquest, James P. Collins was the son of Mary Collins and lived at 1633 Wash Street.[21]


Assessment


John and William Collins both lived in the same address in Saint Louis in 1867 and 1869. Its possible that they lived together in 1868, but the record is not complete. They both had the same type of work. They were both laborers in 1867. By 1869, they both worked on riverboats, an industry they both worked in the remainder of their lives.


We know from census reports that James P. Collins was the son of John and not William. Also, James was living at 1633 Wash Street in 1889, which is the same address that John lived at. The Saint Louis City coroner's report notes that James' mother is named Mary and that he lived at 1633 Wash Street. This also places him in the family of John and not William.


James was buried in the family plot of William. The best explanation for this is that James and William are related.


John and William are both of similar age. The best way form them to be related is for them to be brothers. Brothers living together for a few years seems natural. It also seems natural that William would allow his young nephew to be buried in his family plot.


For these reasons, I conclude that John and William Collins are brothers.
