This is very interesting to me. I have been researching a long time on the Collins line. I am Ina Lee Collins Tingen, daughter of Seba Jellel Colins, son of James Polk Collins, son of James E. Collins ,1822-1883. James E. was a printer and started the newspaper, The Sentinel, in Winston Salem, N. C. My earliest records show John Collins I was born 1569 in Maidstone, Kent County, England, died 1644. Would like to hear from you. Luck on the painting.
