I'm hoping someone can help me. I have been up against a stone wall for so long. The first James A. Collins was in the 1850 U. S. Census, Warren County, Warrenton, North Carolina. He was listed as being 78 years old and a printer. The second James A, Collins was in the 1860 Census, Warren County, Warrenton, North Carolina. He was age 38, printer, (so I have assumed he was son of the first James A,) married Susan Barnes in 1844 in Granville County. He was my great grandfather.. They had six children: John, Frances, William, James Polk (my grandfather) and Thomas Henry. I have much more but nothing prior to the 1850 Census. If this is of any help, I will be glad to send more and in detail. I will be most grateful for any help. I am now 85 and have been working on this for a long time. Many, many thanks!!

Kathy.. I am very interested in this COLLINS family. My COLLINS family came to Indiana from Kentucky around 1800-30. Do you see any of these surnames in your database of marriages? SLAUGHTER, PEARSON, COMFORT, Salvin (Sylvanus) COLLINS. My ancestor, born about 1840 in Indiana was named Slaughter J. COLLINS. He was in the Civil War and married Eliz Comfort PEARSON. Her parents were from KY also.

I enjoy my Collins rootweb so much. I can't remember how I was able to get on (I am 85 so that is understandable) My daughter is researching for her husband whose name is Philips. How can she get on a rootsweb with the name Philips (Phillips). Thanks for all the information I have received on Collins. inalee@aol.com

Recently I was converting some information from hard copy to dist and found this info on the Justus family which included COLLINS info. I would really appreciate hearing from anybody that is linked to this line. Many ended up in Nicholas County, WVa. at a area called Birch River, WVa. The census shows Taylor children with this family and I also would like to learn where they came from. They were raised as COLLINS. Thank s for any help in advance.

Death records were obtained to confirm that fact. According to morman records, Edward J. Collins was also called "Ned' Also they say he was born 1801 to a George Collins, but details are sketchy until source records are obtained from Salt Lake City, Utah. The mother's name is not mentioned but perhaps it could have been the Nan Hurley, that family members have mentioned. NOTE: My record show Edward to be son of Meredith Collins of Pike Co. KY Daughter of Edward ,by first wife Polly Blackburn , who died 1833 Family papers assumed Edward 's first wife was Nan Hurley but Morman records show Polly Blackburn his first wife. NOTE: It is not known why several of the children went by the surname of Taylor on early census records but in communicating with a descendant of Hirma listed above the family didn't know of the Taylor name til I brought it to their attention. <<<<--------------------------------------------------------------->>>> Hiram Collins ,son of Edward and Anna Justus Collins,born 1855 in Knox Creek, Tazewell County, Virginia.( present day Buchanan Co.

I have just found out that my great, great grandfather's brother was a physician residing in KC, MO at the turn of the century (possibly as late as 1924). Unfortunately, I still don't know his given name. can someone please do a look-up in KC city directories of the 1st quarter of this century, or the 1900-1920 miracode/soundex, or the Bibliography of Dead Physicians (SLC library has a copy). anything that might help me find this man's name. Francis died in 1878, so a death record isn't available for him. one should be, however, for this brother of his. Please help me find out this man's name so I can send for a death record which will hopefully have his parent's name on it. Thank you. Cornelia

This may not be what you're looking for but it may help. http://www.idimagic.com/htmls/grants/func0002.htm

If anyone has access to the 1891 Census for Kent, England, I would be most grateful if the names and ages of the second group of children could be checked. Were there any other children? Was there a governess called Marion Dowling in the house at the time? Thanks Robin Griffiths Tel/Fax: +27 (0)31 5731729 38 Longwoods Drive Glenhills Durban North 4051 South Africa
