(1) 9/19/97 Hello
all, looking for information on William Collins
b. 1770 d. 1837 m. Mary Clardy
1791. Seeking information on his siblings and parents. William
lived in Mecklenburg County, Virginia and moved to Granville Co.,
North Carolina after getting married. He is said to have been the
son of William Collins of Spotsylvania Co., Va.
and who moved to Halifax Co., Va.
The brother and sisters are James Collins is
said to have moved to Henderson Ky. John Collins
is said to have moved to Alabama, a sister who
married a Hardgrove, another sister
who married a Winninham and Elizabeth
Collins d. 1835 married Benjaman Clardy. Thank
you for any help you can send me. Steve E-mail Frostee@prodigy.net
(2) 9/20/97 I'm interested in
hearing from anyone with any information on any and all COLLINS
from the Butts County, GA area.....
Earliest known COLLINS ancestor from that area is Samuel
COLLINS b. abt. 1784-1788 in either Delaware (per 1860
census) or "D.C" (Washington?) per the 1850 census. He
died in Butts Co. GA in 1878.
Samuel married Jane UNKNOWN probably abt. 1807.
Their oldest child (son Irbin) b. abt. 1809 in
GA is my gggrandfather. I first find record of the family in an
1825 Henry Co. deed, and in the Butts Co. 1830 census. Where were
they before 1825?? Where in GA was Irbin born?? Were my COLLINS'
from Delaware or Washington, D.C. or elsewhere?? And finally, is
my Samuel COLLINS the same one who participated in the 1821 GA
Land Lottery as a resident of Clark County, GA?? Does anyone have
info. on that Clark County,GA Samuel COLLINS?? Any help would be
most appreciated.
Thanks, Christy Jordan-Frank E-mail crfranj@aol.com

(10) 9/24/97 Hi Y'all ! Thank you for this Collins BB !! I am searching for any information on a group of Collins men who entered land in Ashe Co NC in 1800, David, Elisha, Griffin, Lewis, Ambrose, Volentine, Thomas, and Aaron. I am sure these men are brothers OR brothers and their sons. Griffin is my 4th g Grandad. He is found first on the 1795 Wilkes Co, NC tax lists. He married Mossie (?) in ca 1794. I have a list of this couples known children : William b 1795, Griffin Jr b 1796, Nancy b 1798, Allen b 1803, Alexander b 1816, Betsy b 1817. There is an improbable large gap in the births of Allen & Alexander, so there are very likely more children. Most researchers believe Lewis b 1754 to be the father of Griffin Sr. Dowell and Edmond are named "heirs at Law" in Lewis pension application for Rev War service..but I am not convinced he is Griffin's father. Griffin & Mossie were in Grainger Co TN by 1804. Many of their descendants went on to Wise/Scott/Lee/Russell Co's VA and on to Floyd & Johnson Co KY. I have much info to share !
