I have a John Collins married to a Rachel Edwards in Jefferson Township, Logan County, Ohio in the early 1800's. Their son, Joseph married Phobe Cline who was born in Maryland. I have always suspected that the Collins family migrated from Maryland, but I haven't any proof. Do these names and location match your Ohio Collins? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, September 17, 2005 8:33 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [COLLINS-L] Early Collins Families of the Eastern Shore of Maryland/Virgi...

The 6 Jesse's who are descendants of Abraham Collins do not match the dates or places you specified. Although, I have a lot of Collins in my database, the Collins line I have detailed is just one of a large number that were in the country at that time. I'd suspect the Jesse Collins you list was born on mainland Virginia and not the eastern shore. Frank --- [email protected] wrote: > Thank you.

Hello List~ I was hoping to connect with someone else researching the Collins Families from Albermarle County, VA. I am trying to find more information about Hezekiah Collins and his family. He married 1. Ann Wheeler 1785 (daughter of Micajah Wheeler), and 2. Elizabeth Surface 1802. The only children I have for him and his wife Anne are Sarah b abt 1793, and Micajah b abt 1800. Since they were married in 1785, they must have had other children before these two. I only have 3 daughters for Hezekiah and Elizabeth: Nancy b 1805, Lucinda b 1806, and Catherine b 1807. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank You, Leslie Ann

Frank, weren't you the one sending out those Collins family trees a few years ago? Maybe you're still sending them and I'm just not on the current list to receive them. I was always hoping to find my person of interest. Lori

Thank you. I have been watching this thread intently.......so far my head is swimming... Our line has been at this for about 4 or more years now....(Looking for a Va. connection) .. So far all dead ends.... Doesn't anyone have a Jesse Collins in them somewhere? The only thing we have is a old bible record written by his daughter saying b. July 24, 1809 Va. d. Oct. 12, 1881 Vinton Co. Ohio Married Nancy Whetsel (Whetzel, Whitsel) Oct. 23, 1832 in Jackson Co. Ohio. We have a very complete family tree after the marriage....but "0" before 1832... I used the link provided and it didn't open the site. I shortened it and arrived at Frank's site...but could not search it properly... Thank you all ...I love this list... Susie Simon Ohio

Frank is a pretty sharp guy, and I think his website is very helpful in sorting out some of the early Collins families in that area. Is anyone out there descended from any of these families listed on Frank's site? http://www.collinsfactor.com/Collins%20Pages/Abe-p/index.htm I'd like to work with descendants of these lines in finding suitable male descendants of these lines for the Collins Family DNA study. We're trying to locate a suitable male subject to represent each Collins family that was present in this country during colonial times. Earlier settlers like these guys are especially important because they could help tie together lots of Collins families which are descended from them.

--------- Forwarded message ---------- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Date: Mon, 12 Sep 2005 06:10:23 -0400 Subject: Re: [COLLINS-L] Collins Family! Dear Marjorie (and other listers), I'm working on the Brice COLLINS who was the son of John COLLINS who ended up in the Lancaster/Cumberland/Mifflin/Juniata (as they divided up the counties) area in Pennsylvania. Your Brice COLLINS in North Carolina was the only other by that name when I finally found a lead to the maiden name of my 3ggm, Catharine COLLINS who married David SCOTT, Sr., somewhere and moved to Belmont County, Ohio, by 1820 and to Des Moines County (Burlington), Iowa, by 1839/40. Catharine disappeared from the land records in Des Moines County between February and November 1847. Father John died in 1789 in Pennsylvania. He had been an early settler, coming in soon after the land was purchased from the Indians, leaving when the Indian problem became too great, and then moving back onto the land and remaining the rest of his life. His wife's name was Catharine. My Brice may have had two wives--Ann and Martha. Ann may have had only daughter Ann before she left the family, but it was her two granddaughters (Mary Elizabeth and Agnes HUNTER) who married into the WILSON family consisting of father Bradley and seven sons which joined the LDS Church in Ohio in 1836. Martha was the name he listed for his wife on his will, probated in Belmont County, Ohio, on 10 Mar 1818. Wish these two families tied together. It would be ever so convenient. And perhaps they do at some point. We'll keep our eyes open for clues. Thank you for giving the information on that North Carolina line. I will file that away for future reference.

Hi, It is quite a jump to say that the younger Price Collins who was named in the Will of his father Price Collins in 1727 in Somerset County, Maryland is the same person as Brice Collins who married in New Castle County, Delaware and later moved to North Carolina. I haven't seen any records that would substantiate this. New Castle County is the northern of the three Delaware counties. The makeup of the county during the 17th & 18th century was very unlike the counties on the lower shore of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. It would not be a typical migration pattern for someone to move from Somerset County to New Castle County in the 1730s. New Castle County is more closely associated with the Philadelphia area.(Several Collins lines originate from that area). Considering the above, and the name change, I think it is very unlikely that Price Collins from Somerset county and Brice Collins from New Castle county are the same person. From the records you provided Brice Collins in New Castle County could very well be the same Brice Collins in Orange County, NC.

Hello everyone, I have my own Collins family mystery. I have done a lot of research on my Collins line at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, UT. but have not been able to find the origin of my Collins family in America. Here is what I have. 1st generation was Price Collins b. ca. 1682 of All Hallows Parish, Somerset Co., MD. He died 24 Nov 1727 (will probate) in Bogerternorten 100, Somerset Co., MD. He was married to Rebecca unknown but could be a Chambers. In his will he mentions sons, Solomon Collins, Brice (Price) Collins and Samuel Collins. Both Samuel and Brice/Price were both under age. Sounds like he died at a fairly early age. Price Collins was a resident of Bogerternorton 100, Somerset Co., MD. His will was dated 3 Oct. 1727 and probated 24 Nov 1727, Somerset Co., MD. Film #14528 pp 264-265. It was recorded the November session of court, 1807 in Worcester Co., MD. (The part of Somerset Co. that they lived in later became Worcester Co., MD). He said he was a resident of All Hallows Parish (formally Snow Hill). He has listed only 3 children in his will, Solomon Collings, Price Collings and Samuel Collins, in that order. Price and Samuel were under age and put in the care of kinsman, Richard Chambers until they were 18 years of age.I found a deed where Price Collings purchased land in 1718 in Somerset Co. and sold same 25 March 1727, a few months before his death. On June 29, 1718, Price was an appraiser on the inventory of Philip Truatt and on 11 April 1721 he was an appraiser on the inventory of Jonathan Hudson. There is some connection here with the Hodson's/Hudson's also the Truatt/Truitt names ! come up with the Collin's often. There is a Charles Collins, an Ebenezer Collins and a Edmond Collins on the tax lists, 7/1/1724 (Charles Collins in Bogerternorton 100, 1 slave; Ebenezer, Baltimore 100 in Household of Mrs. Mary Collins; Edmond, Nanticoke 100 in household of Edmond Collins, Jr.) Price Collins was a planter. 2 generation: Brice/Price Collins b. ca 1712 in Somerset Co., MD; died 1791 in Orange Co., NC (from his will); married 12 Aug 1747 in Holy Trinity Church, Wilmington, New Castle Co., DE, Elizabeth Bradley b. 9 Dec 1721, christened 22 Jan 1722 in Holy Trinity Church in Wilmington. Her parents were Henry Bradley and Catherine Lewis (from the Holy Trinity Church records). Their children that were named in the will of Enoch Bradley, Orange Co., NC. He was the brother of Elizabeth (Bradley) Collins...John, Catharine, Enoch, Mary, Brice Collins, my 3rd gr. grandfather (he went by Major, Brice Collins, was in the Revolution) Elizabeth, Jain, Joseph and Margaret. This Brice/Price Collins has disappeared from 1752 (when his son Enoch was baptized in Old Swede's Church in Wilmington, DE) until I found him in the 1790 census of Orange Co., NC. He entered a land grant 30 Dec 1778 for 400 acres on the waters of the Eno River. It was issued 20 Oct 1779. He lived in Hillsboro, NC. He is missing from my records for over 30 years, can't find him anywhere, where could he be! I have found his name spelled as Price and Brice in various records in DE but when he came to NC, it was Brice Collins. 3 generation: Major, Brice Collins of Burke Co., NC; married Jemima Moore. 4 generation: Joseph Lafayette Collins b. 1805 Burke Co., NC; married Elizabeth Ann Johnson of Burke Co. 5 generation: Brice Monroe Collins b. 1839 in Burke Co., NC; married Margaret Elizabeth Warlick b. Burke Co. They left NC about 1870 after the Civil War and settled in Geary Co., Kansas where they had a homestead. 6 generation: Bryce Monroe Collins b. 1877 in Geary Co., Kansas (this is my grandfather, my mother was a Collins) Can anyone help with my early Collins family?? Sorry this is so long but had to explain my records. Marjorie Fletcher Salt Lake City, UT Contact me at [email protected] Carson/Collins/Warlick: http://home.earthlink.net/~leota_m/collins.html
