Hi Janet I have collected info about Collins for over 15 years but do not have documentation of parents. Census shows Collins in 1830&40 Clark Co In, 1850 Henry Co Ky, 1860 Jackson Co IN, 1870 Johnson Co MO. From sources and will of George that married Nancy Phillips...I don't see a son Collins. What about Andrew & Abigail Allen? I have very little on this family. Can anyone help with this query??

Pottorff. Have done some research and haven’t gotten toofar. There are some places the name might have been Batdorf. I haveno proof, but Collins father could have been George (S.?) Pottorff (Bottorff)born 04/14/1778 in Washington County Maryland and died 20 July1850 in Bartholomew, Indiana. If you have found anything I would love to hear from you. Janet Stanfield
