I have been reading Lori's posts today and I have several pieces of Collins info that I have collected but not been able to connect to my Meredith Collins b. 1760 Va. d. 1841 Pike Co. KY. Perhaps they can also be useful to somebody. Tabitha Collins Hi, What I found on the site were 3 Tabitha Collins. All on the same tree. 1) Tabitha Collins m Edmund Foster--1 child Eliz (Betty) Foster m Henry Gatewood 1777 m John Marshall Holliday Note: Her dau. Betty also m a Gatewood Tabitha's parents: Lewis Collins (Spotsylvania) d Grenville Co Nc m Elizabeth Davis d 1804 Kershaw Co SC 2) Tabitha Collins b ca 1746 Amelia Co m 1768 Joel Hurt in Halifax Co --1 child William Hurt Tabitha's parents: James Collins b ca 1712 m Elizabeth Gillentine 3) Tabitha Collins b ca 1752 m Elisha Prewitt Tabitha's parents: Joseph Collins b ca 1718 d between 1798 & 1800 Woodford Co KY m Lucy Machbanks (Marchbanks?) ca 1741

Okay, I am sorry to jump around but some people have been asking if I have any info. on COLLINS in Va. I am scanning the notes, and so far this is a little, but not much. Here is something I find interesting: Isle of Wight Co. Marriages: 1666 John Collins to Eleanor Oliver, Dau. of John Oliver 1675 William Collins to Mrs. Ann Wilds (Andrea has a note asking if these might be the forefathers of Capt. Joseph Collins). Amherst Co. Va Daniel Coner 1787 to Mrs. Elizabeth Bryant Jeremiah Conner 1796 to Elizabeth Tungunt. I will need to break here for awhile, a neighbor has popped over. I have marked my spot, and will cont. later this evening. I promise. Sincerely, Lori

Okay, before I start this one, so no-one misunderstands. Leonardo did alot of research for several people. In these notes are his letters to them and what he found. I will type it just as it is written. If I need to put anything in here I will put my name first and then my response-ex (Lori _________) Okay? It is just as I read it and start typing, I don't want anyone getting confussed and thinking that is what I am saying. Am I making sense to anyone? LOL, I just confussed myself. Here goes. This data was rom some I had already sent as you will not and I add it into this to make your line clear and for which no charge was made. The other data was collected in SC library, Historical Commission and in the County Court House of Kershaw County, Camden, S.S. Youwere not asking for particular data on other sof the Collins family save your own line and when I had that established, I spent the rest of your money on other data of COLLINS and McLendon but did not go into any deatail as to the land conveyances save that of your direct line simply noting the conveyances. Your William Collins lived across the present Kershaw line in what is now Lancaster County in that famous old Beaver Creek section of Presbyterians and in locality of the present charming Village of Liberty Hill. Old man Sherman burned all records at Lancaster and you will have no way of finding deeds for your Thomas L. Collins for he evidently lived across the line. Only those lands acorss on the Kershaw line have deeds recoreded. Will of George SANDERS proved in Kershaw Co., and signed 24 Oct 1819. Wife is listed as Elizabeth and ch: George, Jr Exc; William; Thomas; and Sarah wife of Jordan ASHLEY. Wit: John D. SANDERS, Thomas ASHLEY, and James DRAKEFORD. The lands he owned were on Swift Creek on Sumter Co., line and on Grannies Quarters Creek in Liberty Hill Section. George SANDERS, Jr died intestate and his Widow Elizabeth COLLINS SANDERS, was granted letters of administration 16 Dec 1829 and sying "died without issue." Her bondsmen were John CANTEY, W. C. CANTEY, and Joseph GOODMAN. The appraisers of the estate were John McCAIN, Robert W. LOVE and Thomas L. COLLINS. This shows that your Thomas L. COLLINS was no longer living in Spartanburg Co., where had evidently lived a short time with his BROCKMAN and COLLINS kin. He must have lived near George SANDERS, Jr since he was a neighbor and was appointed to appraise the etate of his brother in law. While the widow of George SANDERS, Jr was winding up this estate she died. Her Brother, J. Jesse COLLINS asked for papers of administration on 26 Dec 1831 and the papers were granted 24 Jan 1832 an dit is stated that bondsmen for J. Jesse COLLINS was John CANTEY. Her husband's land was on Swift Creek and the Sanderss heirs had a portion of that coming to them and named as his brother William SANDERS, and his sister Sarah S. ASHLEY and her husband living now in Jasper Co., Miss. The brother Thomas SANDERS was not listed and he evidently was dead without heirs. 23 Nov 1838 the following signed petition in Master's Court to sell the lands of George SANDERS on Swift Creek and of Elizabeth C. SANDERS on Grannies Quarter for a division and signed by J. Jesse COLLINS, William SANDERS, and Thomas L. COLLINS. According to this your Thomas L. Collins was still in SC in 1838 and had not moved to Miss. 21 Nov 1842 and dated in Jasper Co., Miss before Wm. P. Cherry Judge and James A. CHAPMAN clerk, Sarah SANDERS ASHLEY appoints John P. SHELBY in SC to act as her Power of Attorney to collect her portion and to sign legal papers in the final winding up of the estate of her brother George SANDERS, Jr. More in a sec. Lori

Sorry everyone for the interruptions. You know how it is when kids, and hubby are home.

Scovill. >From an old letter in the original Reuben Collins Bible. "Thomas L. Collins had red hair and his wife Winefred was very dark and Dutch and spake very broken English. I can remember my father telling me that they (Walters family) that they first settled in York Pennsylvania and from there to Spartanburg, SC, but my father says they settled first in the southern part of NC. (perhaps Anson Co., ) This Thomas L. Collins by having wed in Spartanburg, may account for his leaving Farifield-Kershaw. The Kershaw Collins also had many relatives to settle in Spartanburg. All of the Mary Collins Brockman set who came to SC settled in Spartanburg and so did the families of the Kilgore and Patterson men who wed the daughters of Lewis Collins, Jr. and hife Lois Hammond. A branch of the Collins family also settled in Spartanburg. It is thought htat they were cousins of the Kershaw set being the sons and grandsons of a brother of Capt. Joseph Collins of Spotsylvania Co., Va. I have the full will of Lewis Collins. Does everyone want me to email that? I beleive I have already sent (don't know what you would call it) an abstract? of it earlier. I do have the full will in front of me. If you want it let me know and I will email that too.

In these pages it shows that Thomas L. Collins bought land from Asa Walters. I also have an Asa Walters in my line. Since Thomas L. Collins and his family moved to Miss.
