Hello; I am looking for any information on the family and/or ancestors of Charles Loren Collins, born Oct 4 1880 in Potton, Quebec. He married Ethel B. [Unknown] in New Hampshire probably around 1918. My information on him conflicts - I've got a record saying he emigrated to the US in 1884 and was naturalized in 1887; but I've also got his Canadian baptism record from 1898. Parents: Warren W. Collins, born Dec 10 1854 in Quebec and Flora (Glitton) Collins, born Feb 4 1852 also in Quebec. *Children of Warren & Flora:* George Arthur Collins, born Nov 3 1877 Charles Loren Collins, born Oct 4 1880 Flora Adelaide Collins (Sep 9 1882 - Jul 19 1951). She married Stephen William Place in 1915 in Vermont. Walter Collins, born c1890. Charles Loren Collins had 4 children, all probably born in Massachusetts or southern New Hampshire: Warren Collins, born c1917 Russell Earl Collins (Jan 13 1918 - Jan 4 1989), who married Janetta Butler Westwell (Jan 7 1922 - Oct 20 1991) Walter Collins, born 1921 and Elsie Collins, born 1924. Any information on any of those individuals would be highly appreciated. Thanks! ~Sarah O'Connor

My Collins family lived in Quebec, starting in 1795. But they had come to West Brome, Quebec from Vermont>New Hampshire>Massachusetts. These two brothers were descendants of "Henry the Starchmaker" Collins of Lynn, Mass. The two who migrated to Brome in 1795 were Henry Collins and Ebenezer Collins, both US veterans of the Revolutionary War (not Tories). Henry was the first settler in West Brome, and there is today a large "COLLINS" stone erected on the original cabin site by the Brome County Historical Society in 1895. (we drove up to visit this stone in 2001). They remained in Canada for 20 or 30 or so years, having many children there. Some children stayed behind - some serving in the Candian armed forces. Both brothers returned to the US by 1840, both moving to the Chicago area. (Henry to Lake County @ north end of Chicago, and Ebenezer to Will County near Joliet). Could your Charles Collins be a descendant of one of these brothers? Warren Collins sounds like he could be a grandson of one of these men.
