Jesse Collins married me Brenda McDonald Collins (I think the McDonald clan was born under an oak tree in Savannah because we can find nothing past gg grandfather.) This is the line backwards: Jesse Collins b. 1956 Joseph Henry Collins b. 1929 Jesse Jasper Collins b. 1865 Michael Collins b. 1823 James Collins b.1780/1790 Joseph Collins b. 1724 (Can't prove this. But if you look at the family names....Joseph Henry) Here is another note: My grandmother was a Collins..don't know further back than her father. You see the Collins, the Kennedy's, the Summerlins, the Lynn's, the Anderson's and the Hollands all married each. Evidently, they all traveled together and didn't "get out much." Brenda McDonald PS How I put 2 and 2 together about the Collins of my husband's side is that some of them are buried in the same cemetery as my grandmother-Sarah Isabella Jinnette Barrow. "What a tangled web we weave" I think this is old James and Old Joseph's moto.
