Marie the 1810 census of Brunswick County, Virginia only had one Collins family listed, that of Littleberry Collins. In his household there were 2 males under 10 years of age, 2 males 16 to 26 years of age, and 1 male over 45 years. There were also 2 females under ten years of age (where your Elizabeth would be counted), 1 female 10 to 16 years old, And 1 female between 26 and 45 years old. This looks like a young family with four children and an older male living With them. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, October 10, 2005 7:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Betty Elizabeth Collins b. 1760 Hi List, I forgot to say I was forwarding Marie's original message to the list.

Hi Dennis, There is a city in New Jersey called 'Mount Arlington". Could he have been buried in a cemetery near this village? Here is a link for the Mount Arlington Historical Society http://www.ci.mount-arlington.nj.us/history.htm http://www.gti.net/mountarlington/HIST/index.html The purpose of THE MOUNT ARLINGTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY is to promote community interest in the borough's history. Mount Arlington is a small Victorian town with a dynamic and diversified past. Virginia Rooney is the Town Historian and the society president. She can be reached at 973-398-1106.

For those who had Collins ancestors who fought in and were captured during the "War for Southern Independence", this may be of interest: The 14th annual Pilgrimage to Pt. Lookout's Confederate Memorial Park. October 8th from 9 am to 5 pm. There will be historical displays, raffles, book signing, Confederate merchandise, as well as encampments! The Camalier SCV Camp will host the cemetery's memorial service at 10 am. Afterwards, the PLPOW Descendants Org's living history area opens next door in CMP. There will be timed slots for artillery firing of the cannon, musket drills and our own Lee's Miserable Prison skits. Everyone is invited to our descendants meeting at 6:30 pm with Guest Speaker, Kirk Lyons. The public is also invited to attend church service on the grounds at 8 am on Sunday, the 9th. Please view our web site as time draws nearer to the event for any updates or changes. www.plpow.com and click on 2005 Event. Note that the ceremonies are being held at the Confederate Memorial Park and NOT at Point Lookout State Park. The Confederate Memorial Park is located on Maryland Route 5, next to the federally owned Point Lookout Confederate Cemetery. If you remember, the V.A. and the Janet Reno Justice Department under the Clinton Administration ruled that the Confederate flag was "inherently racist" and ordered that the Confederate flag could not be flown at Point Lookout Confederate Cemetery, except for special memorial services and those limited only to Memorial Day and Confederate Memorial Day. A series of laws suits resulted, going all the way to the Supreme Court. The Clinton/Reno Justice Department won when the Supreme Court refused to take the case on appeal. Following that, both the Maryland State Parks and the U. S. Veterans' Administration began to censure the speeches given at the Point Lookout Confederate memorial services and required the text of what was being said to be submitted in advance. Finally, a tract of land next to the Confederate Cemetery was acquired by the Point Lookout POW Descandants. They now can hold their event without censure or pre-approval by the V. A., the Justice Department, or the Maryland State Parks. Four members of my Collins family fought in the War, with two of them, my GGGrandfather Randall Collins, and his brother, Samuel, spending time at Point Lookout. RANDALL PARROTT COLLINS: He enlisted on 21 April 1861 in the Lumberton Guards, Company D, 12th North Carolina Infantry, and became a Corporal and then Full Sergeant by 30 August 1861. The following year, on 24 February 1862, he was commissioned a 2nd Lt. in Company B of the 50th Regiment of North Carolina Infantry. 50th Infantry Regiment completed its organization in April 1862, at Camp Mangum, near Raleigh, North Carolina. Men of this unit were raised in the counties of Person, Robeson, Johnston, Wayne, Rutherford, Moore, and Harnett. Ordered to Virginia, it fought under General Daniel at Malvern Cliff, then returned to North Carolina. Here the 50th saw action at New Bern and Washington, transferred to J.G. Martin's Brigade, and for a time served at Wilmington. Later part of the regiment was stationed at Plymouth and part at Washington. In December 1862, he was at Drewry's Bluff (later a battle in the defense of Richmond). Lt. Collins was hospitalized on 5 May 1864 in Wilmington, North Carolina for an unknown injury/illness. In November, 1864, it moved south and shared in the defense of Savannah and skirmished along the Rivers' Bridge. Sent back to North Carolina it was placed in General Kirkland's Brigade. The unit contiued the fight at Averasboro and fought its last battle at Bentonville. It totalled about 900 effectives in November 1864, mustered less than half that number in March 1865. Lt. Collins was captured by General Sherman's Army on 11 May 1865 at Fayetteville and was sent first to the Union POW prison at New Bern, then was confined at Point Lookout Prison Camp in Maryland on 3 April. He was then sent to the Old Capitol Prison in Washington D.C. on 4 April, and on 11 April was transferred to the prison at Johnson's Island, Ohio. The unit surrendered a force of nearly 250 on 26 April. The field officers were Colonels Marshall D. Craton, James A. Washington, and George Wortham; Lieutenant Colonel John C. Van Hook; and Major Henry J. Ryals. He was released on 18 June 1865 on taking an Oath of Allegiance, at a POW depot near Sandusky, Ohio.

Some time later, John went with a party into the SC backcountry and got into a skirmish, possibly with Spanish intruders. He was wounded and nursed back to health by the Cherokees. Upon returning to Charleston, he discovered that Henry had returned to Ireland, believing his brother John to be dead. I have considerable information about John and his progeny in SC, but I would like to know something about his life in Ireland before he came to this country. ==== COLLINS Mailing List ==== ~*~To subscribe & unsubscribe send to [email protected] (mail mode) or [email protected] (digest mode) with the word SUBSCRIBE -or- UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line & first line of the body. ~*~If your e-mail address changes, please unsubscribe your old address, and subscribe your new address. ~*~To post a message so everyone on "both" -L- & -D- mailing list receives it, just send it "once" to [email protected] ~*~Barbara V.

Perhaps Abigail (----) COLLINS was identical with or otherwise connected to the Abigail (-----) COLLINS cited below: "A Record of the Inscriptions in the OLD TOWN BURYING GROUND of Newburgh, N.Y., Historical Society of Newburgh Bay & the Highlands 1898 ... 93.

My John & Rachel (Edwards) Collins were married 3 Feb. 1807 in Washington Co., Ohio. They died in Iowa in the 1860's. Are these your John & Rachel?

I can't tell you anything specific about your John Collins. However, some years ago a southern researcher, Leonardo Andrea, did research on southern Collins families. The LDS filmed the file in 1974 and it's available from their family history libraries. I transcribed the file, a very large one of 57 pages. If anyone would like a copy of the file [off list] via an attachment let me know. [It is in Microsoft Word] For the most part it is courthouse records with one mistake found toward the end, that of my Joseph Collins. He has him married to the wrong lady.

List, My 2nd great granddad was born in 1850 after the census. On the census and his death certificate it looks like he was born in Kentucky, for it looks like KY. His name is Martin/Morton Collins. He later settled in Meigs County, Ohio. Where he and his son Frederick Martin Collins (born 1881), had their families. Can any one put me back further than Martin/Morton Collins ? Mike Trowbridge
