Jonathan Stark Collard was the son of Elijah Collard (who had no middle name despite many genealogies to the contrary) and Mary Stark.
He is thought to have been born in Kentucky. He migrated to Texas with his parents and extended family, arriving in time to serve with the Army of the Republic of Texas. He was present at the Battle of San Jacinto, though was sick in his tent at the time of the battle.
Jonathan became a surveyor and land speculator, settling in the vicinity of Lindley's Prairie, Montgomery County, where Danville was later established.
On May 12, 1842, he married Nancy Ann Reding, daughter of Iredell Reding and first wife Martha (Patsy) Hallum.
Jonathan and Nancy had five children, including Felix Robert, Martha Caroline, James Lafayette, Mary Emily, and Nancy Josephine.
Jonathan lost much of his wealth after the Civil War, apparently never completely recovering.
After Nancy's death in 1859, he married Margaret Ellen Cochran on February 27, 1862, in Polk County. They had three more children: William Thomas, Jonathan Richard, and Ellen Georgetta.
Jonathan lived to a ripe old age of eighty-eight. He was buried in the Collard plot in the Old Danville Cemetery on Shepard Hill Road.
