Here is what I have on Samuel Collins: Samuel Collins probably came to America in 1678 (early settlers of MD by Gust Skordas, 975.2 W2s Family History Library). He was in 975.223 H2t, page 462, "Settlers of Somerset Co., MD, 1666-1700". He registered his cattle mark in 1681 and in 1697 he was a delegate to the assembly. He married 3 Sept 1680 in Somerset Co., MD by Mr. Francis Jenkins, J.P., Margaret Hodson (Hudson?). He was a bricklayer by occupation. His wife, Margaret Hodson died and he married Elizabeth unknown. He made several land transactions in Somerset Co., MD and lived next to a Jenkins Price. This could be where the name Price came from (only speculation). His will was written 12 Jan 1707 and was probated 9 March 1707 in Somerset Co., MD. He probably came from England or Wales. Between 1697 and 1699 Samuel Collins was a member of the Lower House of Assembly. Early Settlers of Delaware include George Collens 1680 to New Castle; Nichols Daniel Price, to New Castle in 1693. Early settlers of Somerset Co.,! MD (1666-1700) were John Cropper, Samuel Collins, Francis Jenkins (Justice of the Peace), John Holland (Hodson?), Wm Lewis, Daniel Moore, John Moore, George Moore, Martin Moore, John Peicke, John Price and James Price. In the book, Maryland Probate Records, Calendar of Wills, Vol. 3, 1703-1713 is the will of Samuel Collins and it states that his son, Samuel was born of his wife Margaret. Then he lists the property that will go to Samuel. Then he lists daughter, Mary and property she will receive. Next he lists his wife, Eliza who is executrix of the estate. After that he lists son, John, daughters Mary Collins, Sarah Clifton and Anne Adams. There is no mention of a son Price. In early birth records of Somerset Co., MD it names the children that were born Samuel Collins and Margaret Hodson. 1. Sarah Collins b. 13 Jun 1681 in Somerset Co., MD 2. Samuel Collins b. 6 Jan 1683 in Pocokomoke 100, Somerset Co., MD 3. Samuel Collins b. 29 May 1687 in Pocokomoke 100, Somerset Co., MD 4. Ann Collins b. 29 May 1687 in Pocokomoke 100, Somerset Co., MD (must have been twins or I made and error in posting) It can be checked out very easily. 5. John Collins b. 15 Sep 1689 in Pocokomoke 100, Somerset Co., MD 6. Mary Collins b. 8 August 1692 in Pocokomoke 100, Somerset Co., MD Marjorie Fletcher Salt Lake City, UT Contact me at [email protected] Carson/Collins/Warlick: http://home.earthlink.net/~leota_m/collins.html

I keep seeing the same incorrect data on Price Collins floating around the internet. The eldest Price Collins was not a son of Samuel Collins who married Margaret Hodson. He is the son of Thomas Collins and Ann Price (daughter of Walter Price). Thomas Collins died in 1688 in Northampton County, VA and named his son Price in his Will. http://www.collinsfactor.com/Collins%20Pages/Abe-p/index.htm There were several Collins lines on the Eastern Shore of Maryland/Virginia/Delaware. Samuel Collins & Margaret Hodson just happen to be the line the LDS has some data on.
