Miles Standish Collins and his 1st wife, Malinda Wilson (1/4 Cherokee), were the great-great grandparents of Milton Ainsworth Stephens of Spiro, Ok.

Miles Collins fathered children by three different wives: Malinda Wilson, Mary A. Daniels and Lena Gillilan.

Miles was born in Tennessee, later lived in Arkansas, and after the Civil War, moved to the Indian Territory (now Sequoyah Co.), before moving to the Choctaw Nation, now LeFlore Co., Oklahoma.

Photo taken during the Civil War (1861-1865), when Miles was serving with the Confederate Army with a Cherokee Regiment (Col. Stand Watie, Commanding).

By 1864, Miles had switched sides and was serving with an Arkansas Infantry Unit (Union) stationed in Fort Smith, Ark. He was injured in an explosion, was hospitalized at the fort hospital, and later deserted the Union Army. After the war, he was living in Skullyville County, Choctaw Nation, married a Choctaw lady named Mary A. Daniels, fathered three sons and after she died married a young girl named Lena Gillilan.

Miles died while living in Spiro, Ok. in 1919 and is buried in the Skullyville Cemetery, now called the Choctaw National Cemetery alongside his wives and two sons, Robert Collins and John Foley Collins. His first born son, Thomas A. Collins is buried in Forest Park Cemetery, Fort Smith, Ark. His mother was Malinda Wilson. His son's by Mary A. Daniels (Choctaw) were Miles Jr., Andrew Jackson "Jack" and John Foley Collins. His son by Lena Gillilan was Joe Collins. Miles also was the father of two daughters: Margaret "Maggie" Collins Ainsworth and Mary Ann Collins Ross.

Note: He was also known as Miles Soloman Collins by family members. Most records have him as Miles S. or M. S. Collins.
