Shirley: Try this web site posted by Brenda Collins Dillon. http://rootsweb.com/~varussel/families/mcollins.html I found 26 pages of data on Meridith Collins family. Also can try typing "Meridith Collins Family" in your search engine. You may be suprised at what pops up. Try different spellings for Meridith. Good luck. Garry R.

Meredith, like many other COLLINSes had an 'itchy foot' - traveled, traveled, traveled. Meredith's final home, and resting place, was in Pike Co., Kentucky. But other than his name on a plaque at the front of county courthouse with other names of veterans of the Rev. War, data on Meredith is just about zero! Several descendants have been looking for more data about Meredith for many years. He was in the Revolutionary War at about 16 yrs. of age. Proposed to be a son of Old John or Old Thomas COLLINS - mother unknown. He is truly a very thick, unbreachable brick wall to some of us. At one time, I was in touch with Brenda Collins Dillon, one of Meredith's descendants - so a 'cousin of some degree' to me - but she has disappeared from my scope - Emails I have sent to her. She had not been very well for some time, but I hope this does not mean the worst of news. Any help at all will be truly appreciated!

I've been looking for a male Collins descended from Meredith Collins(he needs to be from an unbroken chain of Collins fathers and sons--all the way back to Meredith). We need such a descendant of Meredith to participate in the Collins DNA Study at www.relativegenetics.com . Perhaps then we could tell which Collins ancestors were related to each other in Colonial America.
