Someone on this list was looking for a Mahlon COLLINS. I found the following land grant to Mahlon COLLINS dated 31 May, 1796 in Montgomery Co., VA. for 50 acres on the waters of Maiden Creek a branch of New River. Grants 34, p. 269. The site to download a copy of the original land grant is: http://image.vtls.com/collections/LO.html Hope this helps. Bobbie
