I really do not understand the Native American resources. When I pulled up Tennessee to find out what Indian tribes was in Tennessee, there are so many I have no idea where to start. There is a rumor that my husband's family are part Native American. No proof what so ever. However, the Robert Collins I am researching for can not be found, so it does make me wonder. Where do I start? Lois ``Have you ever checked any of the Native American resources? Dawes Rolls, iller roles, and Cherokee by Blood are two that I have checked for my ollins... The surname Collins is a 'common Native American surname'. -----Original Message----- From: downmemorylane@irelandmail.com To: collins@rootsweb.com Sent: Mon, Feb 22, 2010 11:50 pm Subject: Re: [COLLINS] COLLINS family in Massachesetts and New Hampshire Ms. Greaves, If you can help me by suggesting where I may be able to go to continue on esearching my TWISS family it would be greatly appreciated. This is from my cousin: ``I have researched the Collin in that area in 1800,s and was unable to find ne that I thought could be Lyman,s father. His father probably would have been orn in the early 1800's and in Ma.`` >From a COLLINS researcher: `Have you ever checked any of the Native American resources? Dawes Rolls, iller roles, and Cherokee by Blood are two that I have checked for my ollins... The surname Collins is a 'common Native American surname'. My Collins are elusive as well. My family has been doing genealogy since he 1940's. No one has been able to break the Collins/Price brickwall. George Wiley Collins b around 1812, somewhere in South Carolina. Has a emale relative named Elizabeth Collins, b about 1799, somewhere in SC. eorge married Sedition Price also born somewhere in SC. They moved to GA nd were living in Murray Co during the 1850 census and in Bartow Co uring the 1860 census. There is a Price family next door, but that line f research is a dead end as well. The 1870 census shows George living ith his second wife. We think Sedition died about 1864, but we do not now where she is buried, no death certificate, etc. Some researchers say he boys in this line were killed during the war, others say they moved to iller Co. AK (I think)``. Thank you very much.
