Hi Collins Researchers, Is anyone researching the Collins of Alabama? Especially in Fayette Co., Al? This is my husband's line: A. Tom Collins b 1849 Don't know where. married Alice Jones, don't know when or where. They had the following children: Sarah, Charlie, Frank, Jim, Tommy, George, Walter, Mearkie, Rose, Martha, Maggie and Myrtie Bell. Tom Collins d 1921 in Fayette Co., Al. buried in Mt Willing Cemetery. Myrtie Bell Collins Motes is my husband's mother. She was b in 1901 and d 1996 at the age of 95. Buied in hillcrest Cemetery. West Palm Beach, Fl. As far as I know they lived in Alabama except for a short time in Oklahoma. I believe there is a Melungeon connection. His mother said that she was part Indian. She had dark skin, black hair and dark brown eyes. I can't find a smidgeon of any ancestors beyond Tom Collins. Any info appreciated Mary Lou
