Their children were:
Joseph Pierce Collingwood (1853-1928)
Daniel T. Collingwood (1855-
Anna E. "Amy" or "Emma" Collingwood (1857-
Julia A. R. "Rose" Collingwood (1860-
Clara A Collingwood (1862-1863)

Thomas died during the battle of Winchester.
Mary married secondly John Ballard.

The following are partial quotes from "History of the 28th Iowa Volunteer Regiment" [a part of the history,and written by John T. Simmons, Chaplain of the 28th Iowa Infantry]:

Whereas it has been the will of the Allwise Creator and disposer of all things, that in the severely contested battle of Winchester, Va., on the 19th day of September, ... Corp. Thos. Collingwood of company G,... should be killed, ... Burial parties were detailed, and our dead were collected and hurriedly buried on the field, and their graves marked. Noble men, cherished comrades, gone, but not forgotten. Despite the harsh brutality of war, our hearts linger with stifled emotions around your humble graves.

The entire article is quoted here: http://iagenweb.org/civilwar/books/logan/mil512.htm

It should be noted that while the Winchester National Cemetery does not list Thomas Collingwood as being buried there, he is most likely to be among the many unknown souls in the cemetery. The first burials in the cemetary when it was established were reinterments from the battlefield.
