Melissa, I also have a Shadrack Collins. His full name is Shadrack Jasper Collins b Jan 1836 MS. He m Mary Jane Barron b MS. Shadrack's parents were William M Collins b 1808 SC and Margaret L Pounds b Abt 1814 MS. One of my aunts recently uncovered more on the Collins ancestry. In the past few days I ran across a lady that has more on the Pounds. I also have an ancestral line of Collins on my mother's side. I am hoping that the two lines are connected. I would not be upset if they are not, but such a thing would be fantastic. I have already discovered that some of my folks ancestral lines do converge. I look forward to hearing from you.
