Hi Collins rooters, Is there any help for this Collins family? Joseph Collins, Sr. was born 5-15-1739 in Rowan Co,NC; enlisted in the Revolution in Wilkes Co, GA; lived in Morgan Co: applied for a Revolutionary War Pension 8-27-1833 in Upson Co, GA; and died 8-25-1838 in Upson Co. He had no widow, but the Pension File named children living in 1853: Joseph born about 1803, Enoch, Thomas, and Nancy who married Benjamin Cochran Joseph drew land in the 1820 Lottery; he drew land in Gwinnett Co 1-26-1824 and Irwin Co 9-4-1827. Sarah Matilda Colllins, wife of Banister Cochran, was dead in 1853 and is not identified as a daughter. Benjamin and Banister Cochran were brothers and probably married sisters, however no document has been found that confirms that Joseph was Sarah Collins' father. No evidence of a will in Morgan or Upson Co, through Upson Co probate records. Harold Cochran haroldc@digital.net

Looking for information about MADISON COLLINS, born 1782 in Kentucky (I think). He married Catherine ?, born 1802 in Ohio (I think). Their children were: Christopher, b 1824, Indiana Charlotte, b June 1838, Indiana, married 5 Feb 1854 William Mix, in Clyde, Iowa Co, Wisconsin Warren Jasper b 1842, Jasper Co?, Indiana, married 1 Jan 1863 Sarah Jane Power, in Moscow, Wisconsin. All I know about Madison and Catherine are their children's name and that they were living in Clyde, Iowa Co, Wisconsin in 1850 and 1860; Catherine was living with Charlotte and William Mix in Nashville, Minn in 1870. In 1830-40, I found a Madison Collins with wife and 6 children and a Madison Collins, Jr. with wife and 1 child, both in Waren County, Indiana, but have not been able to verify that either are the Madison I'm looking for. Any information about Madison and Catherine will be greatly appreciated. kat. -- katglad@sinbad.net Eagle River, Alaska Researching: Collins, Jedlicka, Mix, Sontra, Thompson, Wojcieszak

This message is for Dorothy S. Crook whom I have not been unable to contact directly. Regarding your note to the Collins list regarding Creed Collins of Wake Co, NC dated 8/2/98: My wife is a descendent of John Mason Kimmey and Beady Collins. Your note provided us with new information specifically about Creed, his wife Lydia, and all of Beady's siblings. I was curious if you had additional information about Beady's ancestors? I have sparse information about John Mason Kimmey's parents and grandparents. Not knowing what you have, I would like to offer the information I have about John's ancestors as well as John and Beady's descendents. Thanks so much for the help you have already provided. Please contact me directly so that I can get your e-address. Gary Shankle in Deer Park, Texas. garyshankle@compuserve.com

I am descended from William Collins who was born 1859 in England. He arrived here in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada in August 1871. On the the census for April 1871 he is living at the East Preston Workhouse in Sussex, England. There are no other Collins families living at this workhouse. William was a Home Child orphan & all I know is that his father's name is John Collins from England. I have a birth certificate for a William Collins born Nov 1859 at Watford, Hertford, father John. John Collins would have been born in Little Marlow, Buckingham. Presently I do not know if this information relates to my family. Do any of these place names sound familiar to other researchers. The Collins Digest seems to be mostly American in content but I thought I would add my information. Gail Collins St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada gcollins@vaxxine.com
