Hi, Very interesting information! My Collins family was living in Warrick County IN near Boonville (Newburgh and Yankeetown) during this same time. But I don't have data on a Willson. My line was Jonas B Collins b 1795 in Vermont (son of Ebenezer, Rev War Vet from Mass. descended from Henry Collins the starchmaker of Lynn, Mass.) and his wife Eleanor Briscoe, and they had a farm on the Ohio River in Yankeetown (where the Alcoa plant now stands). There is a Collins Lake there too. Ebenezer & his brother Henry were the first settlers in West Brome Township, Quebec Canada and Jonas grew up there. Ebenezer & Henry left Canada for Illinois around 1840, as did their children. Jonas had at least two sons who also made homes in that Newburgh Indiana area: Slaughter Collins b 1840 and his brother Salvin Collins who were both Civil War Veterans. I have never heard of a Willson Collins and I don't know if Jonas had a son by this name - but he would have only been 19 when Willson was born. Slaughter's wife was Elizabeth Comfort Pearson. She lived to be 105 and my father in law attended her 100th birthday in 1950 in Tulsa OK. By 1920, the Slaughter Collins children had all left Indiana and were all living near Tulsa OK. One son, Louis Collins, was very successful in the oil industry there. I don't have much information on the Salvin line. Hope that helps!
