Found Deeds in the Smith Co Court House, Tyler TX: William C Collins, land grant by Gov P H Bell, 13 Apr 1840, Nacogdoches Land District, Smith Co, TX, for 320 acres of Isaac E Dunahoo headright. (Although the document is dated 1840 it may have been written in 1850 to honor a promise of Republic of Texas land for military service since Texas was a Republic in 1840 and P H Bell was not a governor until 1850.) William C Collins, sale of 320 acres, Smith Co, TX, 7 Apr 1851 Joseph Collins and wife Angelina Collins, sale of land in Smith Co, TX, 7 Nov 1851 Robert Collins, of Bibb Co GA, sale of slaves to sister-in-law Rebecca Patton, of Smith Co, TX, 17 Feb 1851 Does anyone recognize these Collins? I am particularly interested in the origin of Joseph and wife Angelina Collins or where they went after leaving Smith Co, TX.. Porter Click 1284 Crabapple Rd. Big Sandy, TX 75755 [email protected]
