fyi Saw this on the britain newsgroup COLLINS; Spalding, LIN,ENG; 1800- I am researching the Collins family from Lincolnshire. Edwin Collins was born in 1878 and married Emma Ellen Guy also born 1878. They had four children Ernest, Emily May, Nell and Charles. Emily May born 1905 at Spalding married Frank Rodgers in 1924 at Spalding and they had three children Marjorie, Brenda and Greta. Emily May died in 1963 in London. If anyone knows anything of this family I shall be most interested. Clive Owen Please e-mail me at suncli@globalnet.co.uk

I have to apoligize for sending some internal mail from my busness to the Collins news gruop. It would appear that some wise guy in my office switched my bosses e-mail address(who happens to be a Collins ) to the news group address and his address in the news group space in my address book. Thank You for the quick response so now I can exact revenge. Allison

Looking for information on KERNS COLLINS, who lived in Clark County, Indiana, during the 1820s and 40s, at least (per census). Looking for information on WILLIAM KARNES COLLINS, who supposedly lived for a time in Washington County, Indiana, in the early 1800s. Could the above names belong to the same individual? Do the names Kerns or Karnes appear in any other Collins family lines? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks. Don

John W. Collins b. 1797-99 Va( possibly Russell Co. ) married twice. 1) unknown ch - John W. Jr., William and possibly others 2) Mary Roark/O'roark ch- 1 Alfred b. 1853 Tazewell Co. rumors went back to NC 2 Arnetta b. 1855 Tazewell Co. lived w/ a Mullins had a daughter Christine and son Richard Collins Richard married and lived at Jodie,WV ( census McDowell Co. 1880 ) 3 Richard b. 1858 Tazewell/McDowell Co Moved to Craigsville ,WV and lived with William Collins Sr. who owned and operated a general store in that town. William was supposely the brother of John W. Collins and Richard's uncle.Richard married Fidella D. Donellson in Nicholas Co. WV and raised 11 children there. Supposely John W. and William Collins were sons of Meredith Collins b. 1760 Va a RevWar Vetran who died in Pike Co. KY 1840. I have found much on William who was a minister, blacksmith, owned and operated a Grist Mill on the Tug Fork of the Big Sandy River. He owned a huge amount of land on both sides of the Tug River. In an area called Dick's Fork( map says a stream runs through) my John W. and second wife Mary are said to have been living when the 1860& 70 census was taken however 1880 John and Mary disappear. I believe this couple died between those 10 years. Does anybody have anything on this family?

David Lee ROSE (b. 1880) married Dora L. COLLINS (b. 1882), of Renovo, PA on June 17, 1902. Dora L. COLLINS was daughter of Israel and Jennie COLLINS of Renovo, PA (Irish). David C. ROSE and Mary H. (Helen?) ROSE, of Renovo, PA ?) are parents to David Lee ROSE. Anyone with further information on this branch of the COLLINS clan, please write me. Mickael L. Mann mlmann@3-cities.com

Do you have anything on him. He may have been the son of a James that appeared in Lawrence Co., OH abt 1830. Thanks, Butch Johnson bjohnson@access.mountain.net

But THOMAS C. COLLINS is the father of WILLIAM COLLINS and had two wives and two sets of children, so the listing about that has THOMAS C. COLLINS and ELIZABETH, should have read WILLIAM COLLINS and ELIZABETH, plus the list of children as it stands. It must have been late in the day and I was blurry eyed and fuzzy minded. Les

Les: My gggrandfather was Harrison COLLINS b in 1818. He was married to Martha Cyrus and was living in Cabell Co WV during the 1850 census. He later moved to Gallia Co OHIO and was listed in the1880 census. Do you suppose that the Harrison listed as a child of Thomas and Elizbeth is my gggrandfather? Do you have any more information on Thomas that might help me make the connection? For your information, I checked FTM CD- 1870 Census for Cabell CO WV and found an Aaron COLLINS, age 21 listed living in Barboursville Township (Roll 1686-page 543). Also, CD 229-Marriages lists William COLLINS married to Zilphia CONNER on 6/18/1837. Harrison has been a brick wall for me...here's hoping you might have the door to that wall. Bill Jordan

Hi to all - Being new to the list, I thought I'd get my oar in the water early. My inquiry relates to: A. William Collins b. 1728 d. 29 Nov 1795 (A respected principal planter of Placentia.) m. Unknown Unknown ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This goes back to 1728 but I think William was born in Ireland, (County Kilearny I believe) not Placentia. I read somewhere that he was shipwrecked off the coast (possibly near St. Mary's) of Newfoundland (maybe while fishing the Grand Banks) and was brought to Placentia to recover the ordeal, where he stayed, resolving never to go to sea again, and became a planter in Placentia. We are looking for any information at all on where William came from in Ireland and how, on what ship or boat, he was on when shipwrecked off Newfoundland, Canada and his spouse(possibly married after he arrived in Nfld.). Thanks in advance to all and we look forward to interaction on this list. Regards, Wanda Collins/Ed Sisk ejsisk@sprynet.com HOMEPAGE: <http://home.sprynet.com/sprynet/ejsisk>
