    3. I don't have my immigrant COLLINS ancestor. What I DO have is: COLLINS, William Gregory b. 2 Feb. 1844 in Kentucky m. 10 Mar 1870 in Freestone, Co., TX to: ACOCK, Lucy Etta (Lucy b. Apr 1854 Polk Co., MO & d. after Apr 1914 Graham, Young Co., TX) d. 31 May 1904 Weatherford, Parker Co., TX Wm. G. COLLINS was a Confederate veteran of the Civil War. I know nothing of his parents or where in KY he was from. He may have had a brother named, Mart COLLINS. The 1850 Census for Logan Co., KY lists a 6 yr. old William COLLINS with his parents, Robert E. COLLINS, age 44, farmer and Nancy COLLINS, age 38. I would be very curious to know if anyone is researching the Logan Co., KY COLLINS line. Children of William Gregory Collins and Lucy Etta (ACOCK) COLLINS were: 1. Albert K. COLLINS m 1st: (?) Lee, m 2nd: Dorothy RIPPSTEIN. He had son, Joseph Albert COLLINS by 1st wife, and daughter, Dorothy Vivian COLLINS by 2nd wife 2.
