I have a Ben married to an Avis. Can you give me a time frame or location? Male or female surname? Jackie

I'm researching the Orange County and Caroline County Collins- I'm working on two Collins lines: Edward Collins, Senior, of Orange County, VA, his son Edward Jr., of Rockingham Co., Va. Also James Collins of Orange and Culpeper Cos., VA who married Mary Kirtley. James' daughter, Ann, married Edward Collins, Jr.. She died very young leaving two small infants, James and John. Edward Jr. remarried Eleanor Fairborn..I think the Rockbridge group are all connected. Mine went on down to Jefferson Co., TN, although the Augusta and Rockbridge group also went down to TN as early as 1787....I researched several John Collins, including the Augusta, Shenandoah, Frederick and Rockbridge Cos...I think it was Thomas whose property fell into Caroline. Get back to me on this. I don't have time to get to the files at this moment, but will later if you remind me. I'm old and don't even buy green bananas any more.

I am looking for a John Collins supposedly born ca 1787 either VA or Ireland, wife reportedly Mary Moore, had son in Va. 1810-11 named Philip Kesner Collins; later migrated to Ohio/Indiana. I do not know where in Virginia he lived but there were rumored to be several brothers who immigrated through the James River area, then to Maryland, and my line came back down into Virginia. He is my brick wall. If any of this fits with your John, please let me know!

who were Jessie's parents? I have Francis Lee Collins in Visalia, Tulare Co., California in the same period, (b. Nov 24 1832 Alabama, d. 27 Apr 1875 Visalia, Tularem CA) and his wife, Mary Jane Peyton's sister, Lodosky Elazina Peyton Pate Boren lived and died in Grass Valley. I am unaware of any Jessie in the family, but her middle names and time and area are intriguing. regards, Cornelia

My James (his middle name may have been Francis - only listed on one doc as such) Collins was born in Galway, Ireland in 1832. James' father was Peter Collins.James married Ann Collins (her real maiden name but different parents, Michael and Mary ) at St. Peters Church in Jersey City, New Jersey in 1852 and had two children, Margaret (born 1860 and my great grandmother) and Michael (born 1858). Ann was also born in Ireland. James and Ann had three other children from 1854-1857 that all died in infancy. James enlisted as a Private in Company A of the 63rd NY Volunteers on 8/7/1861 in Brooklyn, NY. He fought with the 63rd of the Irish Brigade and II Corps for three years. On June 21, 1864 Sergeant Major James Collins was wounded and taken prisoner at the Battle of Jerusalem Road/Weldon Railroad during the Second Siege of Petersburg. He was shipped to Libby Prison in Richmond, VA and died of his wounds on 8/1/1864. His pension files list his burial place as Mount Arlington but no cemetery by that name has been found to exist. I believe that he was buried in an unmarked or mass grave at one of the military cemeteries around Richmond. His photo can be seen at the New York Military Museum web site: http://www.dmna.state.ny.us/historic/reghist/civil/infantry/63rdInf/63rdInfPersonCollins.htm The museum's listing of James being in Company B is their typo. After James' death Ann remarried Patrick Fitzgibbons. They had no children and moved from Jersey City to Rutherford Park. (this is the present day towns of East Rutherford and Rutherford, New Jersey) Their daughter Margaret married Daniel Doyle, my great grandfather. James' widow Ann Collins Fitzgibbons (age 68) passed at the home of her daughter Margaret at 132 Francis Street, East Rutherford, NJ on 12/2/1903. Ann is buried at St. Peter's Cemetery, Belleville, New Jersey with second husband Patrick Fitzgibbons, infant children Catherine Collins, Sarah Collins, John Collins and Elizabeth Reynolds (age 55). They are in Old Section, Row 9, Grave 4. (no stone) This is about all of the info that I have on my Collins family. My entire family is made up of Irish, Scottish and English but they all seem to have come in through the northern ports, New York City being the farthest south. The Collins never seemed to have left the New York City area. Perhaps we may be related on the other side of the pond. I have no info on where the Collins came from other than Galway, Province of Connaught as listed in his pension records. At 09:03 PM 9/14/2006 -0400, you wrote: >This is very interesting to me.

Who do you have as parents of James E. Collins? I have a William Gibson Collins born in 1792, he died in 1881 in Edgefield, SC. His first child was named James (Thomas) Collins, he also had children John Lake, Martha E. and William Gibson Collins, Jr. . It is thought that Gibson's father may have been John or James.

Such a coincidence, we have a James Collins in our line that fought in the Civil War for the South and was captured by the Union soldiers at the Battle of Successionville in Charleston, SC. He was sent to NY on a prison ship at died of cholera at Fort Columbus, Governor's Island, NY. 6/16/1862 captured at the battle of Seccessionville, SC (James Island, SC) Died on prisoner ship in NY of cholera On April 15, 1862, at Edgefield, S.C. James Collins enlisted as a Private of Company "K(H)?" 24th Regiment S.C. Infantry, Confederate States Army. A report of operations and casualties of that organization in the Battle of Secessionville, S.C. June 16, 1862 dated James Island, S.C. June 16, 1862 shown him as missing. An undated Union Prisoners of War roll show him captured at James Island, S.C. No later record of him has been found (letter from Adj. Generals office Dec. 15, 1849). Historical Comp of S.C. at Columbia, SC says James Collins enlisted as a Private in Company "K" of the 24th Regiment of Infantry May 13, 1862 from Edgefield District. , S.C. under Capt. S.S. Tomkins. He is listed on a roll of this Company dated 30th June 1862 as "supposed to be a prisoner taken in battle 16th June 1862". His name does not appear on any later rolls to the end of the War. (Note: June 16, 1862 was the date of the Battle at Secessionville on James Island) and this company was stationed on James Island at that time). My husband says his mother told him her father died on a prison ship in New York of cholera. We know he never returned to his wife and family.

I live in Grass Valley CA. and this is mining area. Gold was discovered 1849. The type of mining done here was the same type done in Cornwall England. The mines here couldn't get enough men who knew this type of mining, so they brought all kinds of help from Cornwall, England. Needless to say, many of them stayed in this area. This area of the U.S. never knew there was a depression on in the 1930s as the mines went full blast until 1953/4. Maybe this helps to answer your question about how someone in G.V. and a man in Cornwall, England got together. Many of my friends up parents and grandparents came from Cornwall.
