Being new to this list, I thought I would throw out my earliest COLLINS names to see if I get any bites. ;-) My COLLINS information is pretty scarce, but if I will gladly share what I have on this Central NY branch of the COLLINS tree. Elijah COLLINS, b. 13 May 1799 Tompkins Co., NY; m. Mary A. (b. Jun 1803 Dutchess Co., NY); d. 30 May 1863 Dix, Schuyler Co., NY; b. County Line Cemetery, Reading, NY. They had children: Sarah COLLINS 1827-1846 Eleazer COLLINS 1827-dec. John COLLINS 1830-dec. Daniel COLLINS 1831-dec. William COLLINS 1834-1896 Harriet COLLINS 1837-1871 (my ancestor - m. Andrew Jackson CASS) Henrietta COLLINS 1840-dec. Elijah COLLINS 1842-dec. Susan COLLINS 1844-1848 Lyman COLLINS 1847-dec. Charles COLLINS 1850-1854 This family lived around the Reading, NY area from the 1820's to the 1890's. Elijah could possibly be the son of Benjamin COLLINS, d. 26 Sep 1834 Reading, NY. I would appreciate corresponding with anyone who knows anything about Central NY COLLINS lines! Thanks! Bryan Cass
