Hi All: Has anyone run across a Robert Collins, born in Culpeper Co VA and died in Franklin Co KY on April 2, 1816. Wife was apparently Mildred. Father may have been JW Collins. Children include: Thomas, Dudley, Robert, Sarah (Sally), Nancy, Catherine (Kitty Kate), Edmund, and Richard. I descend from Thomas Collins who married Mary Ann Bourne in 1811 in Franklin Co KY. They has 12 children, all in KY. I have lots of info on their children as well as Mary Ann Bourne's family, but virtually none on the earlier Collins line. Robert joined 8th VA Regiment of Foot commanded by Col. James Wood in April 1779, served until November 1779, the last time his name appears on the muster rolls. Certificate was issued in 1784 for 18 lbs, 10 shillings and 1 pence for his service. He never applied for a pension.1801 Franklin County, KY tax list shows he had 140 acres on Benson Creek, 5 horses, 10 slaves and 1 son over 16 years of age. He is buried on what became the Carl Wilson Place just off of the Lawrenceburg Pike near Alton, KY. Robert doesn't seem to be a popular name in the various Collins lines - has anyone out there seen him??? Would like to find parents and siblings as well as immigration history for the family. Thanks for any help. Ann Hoskins-Brown
