Sorry about the first try. I will try to send the message using plain text not html. Ann, Your query caught my eye because of the name Thomas Dudley Collins. We may have some connection. Please let me know if you have come across any of the following names. So far, I have traced my line back to Lewis Collins who was born in VA 1780, by 1810 was living in Jessamine County, KY, and died in 1852 probably in Jessamine County, KY. He married Sallie Cleveland and they had several children including five daughters and at least three sons. Of those children, I only have names and information for John C. Collins born 1830 in KY (married Eliza C. born 1835), George Lewis Collins born 1832 in KY (married Lucy Stephenson born 1850 in IA), and Ambrose Collins born 1843 in KY. George Lewis Collins named his first son Thomas Dudley Collins (born 1874 in KN). It may be just a coincidence, but because of the name and the VA/KY connection I am hoping there is some relationship to your line. George Lewis Collins is my great grandfather. He and Lucy had two other children, Edith Jessamine "Jessie" Collins (Holmquist) born 1876 in KN, and Kenneth Lewis Collins born 1889 in KN. I have additional information including pictures back to George Lewis Collins that I would like to share with anyone interested in this family line.
