To Rose Collins Lowther, I participated in the DNA study of relative/genetic that connected me 100% to Joseph Collins of Bertie Co. N.C.. What is the connection of my study to Joseph and the Meredith Collins DNA study you mention. In other words, is there a connection between Joseph and Meredith?

I've been looking for a male Collins descended from Meredith Collins(he needs to be from an unbroken chain of Collins fathers and sons--all the way back to Meredith). We need such a descendant of Meredith to participate in the Collins DNA Study at www.relativegenetics.com . Perhaps then we could tell which Collins ancestors were related to each other in Colonial America.

Lawrence, I have this in my files. Look it over and let me know if it may be your Collins family. Gotta go... Judy in Pensacola Collins of Spartanburg 4/16/2001 11:00:40 Eastern Daylight Time Gayle1937 Dear Judi: I don't think that our Collins are related. My Collins were all founders of the Nazareth Presbyterian Church. I also have most of the children and Grandchildren. I do not have any Herbert in the children. My GGGGrandmother had her children in the same time period. I'll keep looking, but I know that there are a lot of Collins in that area that don't connect with ours. The children of Thomas and Rosannah Collins were: John Collins, married Elizabeth Brown-children were John, Thomas, Salley and Sarah; Richard Collins and William Collins both went to Kentucky and Missouri; Mary Collins who married White and left area; Alexander died young not married; Joseph Collins married Elizabeth Fleming and had Mary, Martha, Thomas, Ann Fleming, Rebecca Wells, Andrew Fleming, William Austin, Nancy Thompson, & Joseph A. Jr.; Jane Collins who married Willliam B. Austin; Nancy Agnes Collins who married Alexander Thompson and my GGGGrandmother Francis Collins who married Valentine Allen. Hope this helps you.

William Lock COLLINS was b. 1756 in England, d. 20 Feb 1826 in Stratford, Fairfield County, CT. Robert Carroll COLLINS joined the SAR by proving his ancestry back to William Lock COLLINS. My wife is also descended from William Lock COLLINS through the same son of William and his wife, Ann, b. 1759. Based on the research of Robert Carroll COLLINS, William and Ann had the following children: William Rufus, b. 22 Mar 1781 James Lock, b. 30 May 1784 Aby Betsy, b. 19 May 1787 Charles L., b. 10 May 1789 Edward, b. 6 Apr 1791 (ancestor of my wife) Henry, b. 6 Apr 1791 Sarah Ann, b. 4 Aug 1793 Joseph J., b. 7 Apr 1796 Does anyone have any information on any of the other children of William Lock and Ann COLLINS?

Hi, Cuzs! I continue to look for - seek - any leads or connections to Meredith COLLINS; b. ca. 1760 in South Carolina. May be part Indian.

Help! I'm stuck at my 3-g-parents! Mathew & Margaret Collins were both born somewhere in Ireland - Mathew in approximately 1828 and Margaret about 1830. They emigrated approx. 1852 with their infant daughter Mary (b. May 1850). Oral family history is very limited but it has them coming through Canada to settle in Worcester, Massachusetts. They were in Worcester by 1856 or so when they added to their family with Thomas (ca. 1856), William J. (b. August 1858 - my 2g-father), Frank (ca. 1860), and John (ca. 1861). Mathew died & was buried in Worcester, MA in 1864. Margaret died between 1880 and 1900 but I haven't figured out exactly when or where. My problem is that, I cannot locate Mathew, Margaret & Mary on any passenger list into the US - the lists into Canada for that period are almost nonexistent and I have no idea where to look for them on the other end. Mary married a Daniel Welch (b. January 1851, Massachusetts). Do any of my relatives hang off of your tree? If not, m! ight you have any suggestions on a next step?
