I would like to find out if there is a Zachariah Collins in this family..Zachariah Collins is shown marrying Welthy Beaman in Johston Cty, NC Oct 1802. fawn ----- Original Message ----- From: Sonny Brown To: Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2005 2:54 PM Subject: [COLLINS-L] John Collins of Dublin John Collins came to Charleston, SC, in the company of his younger brother Henry in 1679. Some time later, John went with a party into the SC backcountry and got into a skirmish, possibly with Spanish intruders. He was wounded and nursed back to health by the Cherokees. Upon returning to Charleston, he discovered that Henry had returned to Ireland, believing his brother John to be dead. I have considerable information about John and his progeny in SC, but I would like to know something about his life in Ireland before he came to this country. ==== COLLINS Mailing List ==== ~*~To subscribe & unsubscribe send to [email protected] (mail mode) or [email protected] (digest mode) with the word SUBSCRIBE -or- UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line & first line of the body. ~*~If your e-mail address changes, please unsubscribe your old address, and subscribe your new address. ~*~To post a message so everyone on "both" -L- & -D- mailing list receives it, just send it "once" to [email protected] ~*~Barbara V.
