Hi, Mark and anyone else on this COLLINS line: Mark, I can't help but wonder if your line or someone else reading this might connect with mine. You had a Samual Abraham COLLINS born Sept. 12, 1863. I have an Abraham (A.T. or Abram) COLLINS born abt. 1822 (we think in AL). He married an Amelia HORAN in Pontotoc Cty, MS Dec. 25, 1851. I have gotten no further back than that & wondered if your Samual Abraham COLLINS might be connected? Abraham (A.T. or Abram) and Amelia COLLINS had: A. COLLINS - b. abt. 1853 Walter H. COLLINS - b. abt. 1854 Margaret Ann COLLINS - b. abt. 1856 Martha A. COLLINS - b. abt. 1858 William I. COLLINS - b. abt. 1859 Elizabeth (Bettie) COLLINS - b. March 1857 - my ggrandmother. They went from Miss. to Ark. and some of them on to OK. They may have originally been in TN. The really interesting part is that one of your names was Clearsie Cleo COLLINS. My Mother was named Cleo, and I always wondered where that name came from. Might there be a connection? Hopefully. Jackie
