Hi, Since Gordon County is next to Cass/Bartow County, I checked my copy of the Cass County 1850 Census. I found 4 listings of COLLINS. On page 187, census date 16 October 1850: COLLINS, Benj Ff 35M GA Farmer 800 Rachel 36F SC C John 16M GA A Henry 10M GA A Georgia A 7F GA A Nancy 5F GA Martha 1F GA I hope this helps, it sounds very similar.
