Unfortunately, the name of COLLINS is the very one that I have the very least information on. And I don't even know for sure if that is her surname but we think so. Mary COLLINS is said to have been the name of the wife of Evan ELLZEY from South Carolina and they were the parents of my paternal 2nd great grandmother, Harriett ELLZEY, born: 1824 in Jones County, Mississippi most likely. Harriett ELLZEY could have possibly had the middle name of Almeda but I am only speculating as her granddaughter was named Harriett Almeda "Mead" BRIGHT. Harriett ELLZEY, born: 1824 in Jones Co., MS, married John LEWIS, born: abt. 1820 in Jones Co., MS, who was the son of Nancy COPELAND, (daughter of Ripley COPELAND, (RS,) born: abt. 1761 in NC, lived in Sumter Co., SC, and his wife, Rachael TUCKER,) and Nancy's husband, Howell LEWIS, born: bet. 1782-1788 in Granville Co., NC,) and Harriett ELLZEY and John LEWIS were the parents of: Children of Evan ELLZEY and ?Mary COLLINS? include: (1.)
