Ori G. Coller was born in Lee County, Virginia on January 1, 1810. His parents are thought to be Shadrack Collier and Edith 'Edy' Bab Hardy.

Ori married Sarah ‘Sally’ Witt on April 20, 1834 in Lee County, Virginia. Ori and Sally were the parents of:

Nancy Collier Roberts (1834-1923)
Didama Collier Roberts (1836-1892)
David Collier (~1840-1861)
John A. Collier (1841-1891 or 1896)
William M. Collier (1844- ~1897)
Elizabeth Collier (~1844-?)
Lafayette McMullen Collier (1848-1938)
Mahala Collier Wells (1851-1885)
Cynthia Collier Collier (1853-1922)

Ori died on November 7, 1896 in Lee County, Virginia


-----------------
This portion is the original biography from fallen graver Wayne. It will remain as he had written it.

Ori's parents are not the Shadrick Collier that many see on FindaGrave buried in Collier Cemetery in Carroll County, VA. That is a totally different Collier family, though some of the names are common between them. Look at the list of that Shadrick's children with wife Lucy Bobbitt on his FindaGrave memorial page in Carroll County, VA, and you will see Ori is not listed as one of their children. That Shadrick's FATHER is an Aaron Collier, in Carroll County, VA, as you can see on FindaGrave.

Ori's father Shadrack was married to Edith Bab Hardy and Shadrack's BROTHER was an Aaron Collier who settled the western side of the mountain, while Shadrack settled the eastern side. My brother still lives at the site of their old homestead where Ori was raised and is buried.
