I have traced my family back though John Thomas Collins to John Louis Collins born 20 May 1843 who married Milly Ann Walker. I believe his father was John Louis Collins b in Wake Field , N. C. ho maried Mary O' Neil. Was the father Creed Collins b 1777 who married Lydia Lacy? An the only other link I have is that his father was Andrew H. Collins who married a Martha. Thanks Frances
