Hi, I have two Collins on my most wanted list: Per "The Collins Families of Mifflin, Crawford, and Fayette Counties" (PA): Henry b abt 1725, married Rachel abt 1745 and had 10 children. One of his dtrs, Anne married her cousin DAVID Collins before 1800 - (parents unk). They had one son named Henry (b 1801). After Henry, Sr. death, his widow Rachel, David, Anne and the rest of the family moved to N. Shenango, Crawford Co., PA becoming some of the first settlers in that area. David and Anne both died there abt 1825. Need to know: WHO ARE HENRY and DAVID'S PARENTS? WHERE DID THEY COME FROM BEFORE MIFFLIN CO.? David and Anne's son, Henry, married Hannah Seymore before 1832 and had at least, 6 children, the eldest being DAVID NOAH Collins (b 28 May 1833). Henry, Hannah, David and siblings - Isaiah, Robt Jackson, Rhoda, Hannah and George - all moved to Morgan Co., IL abt 1838. All are listed on the Scott Co., IL 1850 census. BUT WHERE DID THEY GO AFTER THAT? DAVID NOAH married Eliz Poque, had one dtr and divorced Oct. 1854. He then m Mary Elizabeth DILLE (Oct. 1854). In 1864, David's sister, HANNAH m WM DILLE (presumably Mary's brother). David and Mary had six children - Martha Ann, Mary Ann, Ellie B (all b in IL) and Lottie F, twins - Daisy and David, Jr. ( all b in MO). Mary Ann m John L BANKS 1880 in Bourbon Co., KS, Lottie m his brother - Sam'l A BANKS, Jr (1883 Bates Co., MO - ceremony performed by David Noah). Mary Eliz Dillie Collins died before 1910 somewhere in MO/KS. David Noah was injured in the CW and spent a lot of time crisscrossing the MO/KS border seeking medical help. Most of the family came to Los Angeles soon after 1900. David Noah lived with his dtr. Lottie, until his death in 1914. I find David Noah, Mary E. in the Bourbon Co., KS 1880 census. Am looking for them in 1860, 1870, 1900. Has anyone seen them? Col. families: Price, Riden, Bennett, Manley, Linn, Seymore, Dille, Banks, Edwards, Bailey, Steele, Reed. Thanks, Donna
