Hi Carol, I am also interested in this family as I strongly believe them to be my 4th great grandparents. My gg grandfather was from Surry Co. NC. His name was Obediah Collins. He was born about 1830. Two of Obediah and Patsy's sons had a son named Obediah about the same age and I have not found out exactly which one is his father. After being in the army during the Civil War, my Obediah showed up in KY in the 1870 Bell Co., KY census and in Clay Co in 1880. His son William Lewis Collins was my great grandfather. Does any of this sound familiar? Thanks for any help at all.

The Collins in NC that I'm looking for are in the Craven County are in the 1750's and 1760's. John and George (Moses and James) had land in Goshen Swamp near present day Kinston, I think. They also show in the 1755 Beaufort Poll tax listing (George, John and James are all white and over 16 years of age). There is also Samuel and Joseph had land on Slocumb Creek also in Craven County. Samuel and Joseph's father appears to have been a John Collins who died in Craven County about 1750. Joseph and Samuel are the only sons listed in the will index. Does anyone have any further information, or other records mentioning Collins deeds in Craven County prior to 1780? -----Original Message----- From: Penny [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2005 7:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [COLLINS-L] Collins in NC Hi Carol, I am also interested in this family as I strongly believe them to be my 4th great grandparents.
