Hi, Since Gordon County is next to Cass/Bartow County, I checked my copy of the Cass County 1850 Census. I found 4 listings of COLLINS. On page 187, census date 16 October 1850: COLLINS, Benj Ff 35M GA Farmer 800 Rachel 36F SC C John 16M GA A Henry 10M GA A Georgia A 7F GA A Nancy 5F GA Martha 1F GA I hope this helps, it sounds very similar.

There were many Collins who were Cherokee, per the Cherokee genealogical index located at my site http://members.aol.com/rarebk Note, there is no www in the above address. I did check the Miller Roll, and about 60 were accepted, roughly 30 not eligible (although some file later claims for membership.) I did not check the Dawes Roll. The Cherokee Genealogical Tutorial at the site will explain how to do Cherokee Genealogical research. Once at the site, go to BOOKLISTS, then scroll down till you see the Starr Cherokee Genealogical book listed, and invoke from there. You'll also see the Tutorial as you scroll down. Thanks, Paul

I have another connection with the Collins line thru Jessie Collins, born 19 Aug 1882, died 17 Jan 1920. He married Carrie Bessie Richards, the daughter of Willis Newton Richards, and ElizabethTilitha Lorena Scroggins. I am not sure how my Edward Collins connects to Jesse Collins.

My connection with the Collins line is thru Edward Collins, born abt 1891, and died abt 1952. He married Jeannie Richards, the daughter of Reuben Edwin (Bud) Richards and Juliane Shelton. Does anyone connect to this line?

Hello fellow researchers, Here is some Collins I found while looking for mine. I found this in a book at the Library of Congress while I was visiting. I did not write down the name of the book, as my husband kept rushing me. I hope this will help someone with there line. Please do not email me on this, as I will be giving you everything I wrote down. I am hoping this will open a door for someone for researching further. Isaac Collins b 16 Feb 1746 Near Brandywine Creek about two miles from Centre Meeting House, in New Castle County, State of Delaware.

Greetings everyone, after many hours of work, (or is it pleasure)we have created our own genealogy home page. It is split up into different surnames. The surname of interest to this list is of course Collins and also researching SHERWOOD, JETT, HANNAH, HUNTSMAN, COLLINS, BURKS, RIGEL, REDMOND,MCKINNEY, and others yet to be found. These people are primarily located in Boone and Randolph Co. MO at this point in time. Please check it out and let me know your thoughts. Anything anyone can give me on these families would be greatly appreciated since I have so little on these lines. The address is: "www.zianet.com/schulthe/home.htm" As always, let me know of any corrections, additions, deletions, or any other comments you may have. Thanks, Sheri.....

Hello, I am new to this list and am posting my lone Collins here in hopes of finding her family. Jane Collins was born abt 1787 in VA. She married John Tanner December 23, 1813 in Culpeper County Virginia. I have some of the Tanner info but nothing on Collins. Is anyone working on a Collins family from VA that may have information on my 3rd great grandmother's family? Thank you, Judy

Please forgive, but I believe this worthy of sharing with all our "Cousins!" Proud of our many COLLINS families' Veterans, and of our son who is currently serving in our nation's military forces! WHAT IS A VET? Some veterans bear visible signs of their service: a missing limb, a jagged scar, a certain look in the eye. Others may carry the evidence inside them: a pin holding a bone together, a piece of shrapnel in the leg - or perhaps another sort of inner steel: the soul's ally forged in the refinery of adversity. Except in parades, however, the men and women who have kept America safe wear no badge or emblem. You can't tell a vet just by looking. What is a vet? He is the cop on the beat who spent six months in Saudi Arabia sweating two gallons a day making sure the armored personnel carriers didn't run out of fuel. He is the barroom loudmouth, dumber than five wooden planks, whose overgrown frat-boy behavior is outweighed a hundred times in the cosmic scales by four hours of exquisite bravery near the 38th parallel. She - or he - is the nurse who fought against futility and went to sleep sobbing every night for two solid years in Da Nang. He is the POW who went away one person and came back another - or didn't come back AT ALL. He is the Quantico drill instructor who has never seen combat - but has saved countless lives by turning, slouchy hill- billy rednecks and no -account gang members into Marines, and teaching them to watch each other's backs. He is the parade - riding Legionnaire who pins on his ribbons and medals with a prosthetic hand. He is the career quartermaster who watches the ribbons and medals pass him by. He is the three anonymous heroes in The Tomb Of The Unknowns, whose presence at the Arlington National Cemetery must forever preserve the memory of all the anonymous heroes whose valor dies unrecognized with them on the battlefield or in the ocean's sunless deep. He is the old guy bagging groceries at the supermarket - palsied now and aggravatingly slow - who helped liberate a Nazi death camp and who wishes all day long that his wife were still alive to hold him when the nightmares come. He also was my father, your father, grandfather, husband, brother, uncle, cousin, and yes , all the females who bravely served and are serving their country, for OUR freedom . He is an ordinary and yet an extraordinary human being - a person who offered some of his life's most vital years in the service of his country, and who sacrificed his ambitions so others would not have to sacrifice theirs. He is a soldier and a savior and a sword against the darkness, and he is nothing more than the finest, greatest testimony on behalf of the finest, greatest nation ever known. So remember, each time you see someone who has served or is serving our country, just lean over and say "Thank You." That's all most people need, and in most cases it will mean more than any medals they could have been awarded or were awarded. Two little words that mean a lot, "THANK YOU". Remember: November 11th is Veterans Day And don't forget to Fly The FLAG on Nov. 11th, with pride: Alice alicep@ma.ultranet.com "Message From Massachusetts" Thank you Veterans! TTYL Craig
