It is listed differently in different sources. William Collins b: 1784 Giles Co. VA f: Thomas C. Collins, m: Ruth Buffington. They probably had other children too, but I have not found any of them yet. Will Collins could also have been a grandson of Thomas C. Collins. I doubt that my William is your Will. Although they may be related. Here is my 4 generation outline: Descendants of Thomas C. Collins 1 Thomas C. Collins .. +Ruth Buffington ......... 2 [1] William Collins 1784 - 1876 ............. +Elizabeth ? .................... 3 Susan Collins .................... 3 Harrison Collins 1818 - ........................ +Martha Ann Cyrus ............................... 4 Amanda Collins 1842 - ............................... 4 William Collins 1843 - ............................... 4 Allen W.

But so far I have found my Collins line in VA Giles Co./WV Cabell Co./ OH Lawrence & Gallia in this time frame. Best of luck hunting. Les
