Okay, as I am starting the next page, I find some of it looks like repeats of some of what I have already sent. Since there may be info. in this that was not in the other, I am going to send it anyway. I hope no one minds. Anson Co. DAR File In Carraway Graveyard are buried with markers: Joel McClendon 1779-1855 Edward McClendon 1814-1899 and wife Sarah 1819-1881 (I was told that this Joel was brother to you Dennis) Wall Graveyard Edward Wall b 13 Jan 1813 d 4 March 1861 James Wall, Sr d 19 April 1854 aged 73 yrs 8 mos and 12 days >From a Wall bible owned by Mrs. W.W. Bennett Wadesboro, NC William Wall married Jane Hyde 15 Nov 1803 and children, Susan b 1805, Mary Jane b 1806. George Washington 1809, Sarah 1810, William 1814, John 1817, Martha Jane 1818, Robert Melton 1819, Eliza Ann 1822 and 2nd Mary Jane 1825. Granville County, NC Will of Lewis Collins sg 16 Sept 1783 pr May Court 1785 Wife Elizabeth Collins Ex Childre: Lowis Gatson (Lois Gayden) Betsy Robinson in Va, Edward Collins Ex, Lewis Collins Ex, Wiley Collins, Dianna Carter Collins, Wit: John Taylor and Mourning Matlock. This is the same set as the will of Mrs. Elizabeth Collins in Kershaw and the same son Lewis buried near Liberty Hill and along with your Reuben. Dr. Wardlaw's cousin thought that the father of his Lewis was also Lewis Collins. This is proved now. I think that a close examination should no be made as to which were the sons and which were the grandsons of Capt. Joseph Collins. The Rev. Lewis Collins will 1806 I think in Kershaw and the Baptist minister who came to SC 1762 and left minor children who were not of age until about 1813, must not habe been the son, but the grandson. Lews son of Lewis above in Granville, Wifes's tombstone near Beaver Creeks says she was b Va 1766 I believe now this Lewis of Granville was son of Capt. Joseph and the Rev. Lewis a grandson. I still believe your William was the son and Reuben a grandson of Capt. Joseph, but we might find a missing generation somewhere. I think you William was the William Collins who wed the Bashaw foe he named a son Badshaw. A reconsideration of all these various generations should be made. Laruens Co., SC Will of John Brockman (grandson of Capt. Joseph Collins) sg 27 Nov 1800 and pr 13 Feb 1801 wife Amelia (Martin) Brockman. Ch: Henry m. Brockman and his son John, Annie Parks, mary Dean, Frances wife of Thomas Mullins, Kennery Brockman, Lucy deceased wife of John Owens, Sr., her ch. John Henry Owens, Elizabeth Ballenger and Amelia Owens. Wit: Daniel Wright, Robert Burton and Asa Wright. This Will, I found, has thrown a bombshell in the Brockman set. The publushed genealogy of the Borckman family (In which I got first Collins clue) says John Brockmand died in 1825 and that a thoro search had been made for his will in NC and Va. but it had never been found...The genealogy does not list the children as they ar in this will and some of the Brockmans try to tell me this is another Brockman. Look at the data I sent you and in G and H which I got from the book, Genealogy of the Brockman family, compare it and with the will and send me you opinion. Since John Brockman is a grandson of Capt. Joseph and had wedded gr. children in 1800 your William may also be a grandson and also the Rev. Lewis Collins. This all has put me to studying and wa may have to solve a missing generation. Granville marriages: Thomas Collins 1788 Peggy Wyans Thomas Collins 1790 Elizabeth Tisdale John Collins 1790 Nancy Rast Green This is about all the Granville NC Collins Data. Now who is this Elizabeth Tisdale for there is not Tisdale land or other data in Granville. Who is this Thomas Collins and did his 1st wife die and he wed again? Your William had a son Thomas. They Gayden wed a sister of his and also Gayden wed Lois Collins, Dau. of Lewis. this my be your Thomas, brother of Reuben. Where did he get the Tisdale wife? More in a minute. Lori
