Hi everyone, Is there anyone else on this list researching the COLLINS family who came from Va. to Tn and then to Rusk and/or Smith Co., Tx. Moved on into Comanche, Parker, and Hood Cos of Texas? Timeline from 1750's to early 1900's? I found the following information yesterday on what appears to be this family in Comanche Co., Tx. Marriage Licenses: Mark COLLINS m. Oct. 1, 1889 Elizabeth JAMES (was he the son of William Joseph COLLINS and his 3rd wife, Susan C. GINN? This Mark COLLINS would have been b. abt. 1865, so would be the right age. William L. COLLINS m March 1, 1860 Sarah Ann WOODRUM (was this the son of William Joseph COLLINS and his 1st wife, Elizabeth ANDERSON? This William L. COLLINS was born in abt. 1839 in Tn? If so, he was the twin to Joseph A. COLLINS) Also, does anyone have any information on Eliza Harmon COLLINS b. abt. 1845 in Tn. He was the son of William Joseph COLLINS and his 2nd wife Elizabeth HODGES. Harmon is listed on the 1860 Canton, Smith Co., Tx. census as being 15. I have found nothing on him after this date. My HODGES family married into the COLLINS family who married into the BARBERS who married into the EARGLES, WARDLOWS, TURNERS, WALDRONS/WALDEN, ELLIOTTS, BARRYS, RUSSELLS, MURPHYS, WATTS, McMAHONS. Unfortunately, the book on the History of Comanche County, Tx. was being used by someone else, so I did not get a chance to try to tie all of this together. If, you are researching any of these families in the Comanche Co., Tx. area I would like to exchange information with you. The puzzle grows, Bobbie
