One thing is for certain: if we were able to invite all men named "John Collins" to our dinner, we would have to rescind the troops in Iraq to help cook and serve the meal. Fortunately, my great-great grandfather, John Collins (b. circa 1802, near Monroe, NC) had the wisdom to marry a woman named Pleasant making him somewhat (operative word!) easier to trace.

Well, I have a few "John" Collins(s). ( I really don't know how to pluralize that one...it's as hard as trying to do more than one Thomas! I have a John Collins born about 1777 in South Carolina..............no wife listed. He appears to be the father of my Joseph Collins, also born in South Caroline, that married Elizabeth Lantrip (SC). Joseph was born about 1800. They had a son John H. Collins (along with 9 other children) born about 1825 in Christian County, Kentucky. John H. married twice: (1) Tennessee Virginia Duncan born in Christian County, Kentucky and (2) Sarah Elizabeth Fowler, born in Tennessee. Saran and John had a son, John W. born in 1870. Tennessee Virginia was the mother of a son, Joseph, born about 1854. Joseph and Elizabeth also had another son, Shadrack that married a sister to Tennessee Virginia, Mary Ann Duncan. They also had a son, John Riley Collins born in 1863. I have to agree that it would be a BIG dinner just to serve all of those 'Johns", but WOW! would it ever be fun to interview them! Wheeeeeeee.
