Scovill. >From an old letter in the original Reuben Collins Bible. "Thomas L. Collins had red hair and his wife Winefred was very dark and Dutch and spake very broken English. I can remember my father telling me that they (Walters family) that they first settled in York Pennsylvania and from there to Spartanburg, SC, but my father says they settled first in the southern part of NC. (perhaps Anson Co., ) This Thomas L. Collins by having wed in Spartanburg, may account for his leaving Farifield-Kershaw. The Kershaw Collins also had many relatives to settle in Spartanburg. All of the Mary Collins Brockman set who came to SC settled in Spartanburg and so did the families of the Kilgore and Patterson men who wed the daughters of Lewis Collins, Jr. and hife Lois Hammond. A branch of the Collins family also settled in Spartanburg. It is thought htat they were cousins of the Kershaw set being the sons and grandsons of a brother of Capt. Joseph Collins of Spotsylvania Co., Va. I have the full will of Lewis Collins. Does everyone want me to email that? I beleive I have already sent (don't know what you would call it) an abstract? of it earlier. I do have the full will in front of me. If you want it let me know and I will email that too.
