I am looking for anyone else who is researching Minerva Collins. She married George Washington Ward in 1838 in Rockingham Co., NC. A later census shows that she was born in Rockingham Co. Bless that census taker, he not only recorded the state, but also the county. Must have been a genealogist at heart! Anyway I would like to correspond with anyone who might have information on this couple or the Collins family in Rockingham during this time period. From the 1830 federal census, I know there was a John, a Charles and a William. I think William is the most likely candidate for fatherhood of Minerva. Her first child was named William and the ages of his kids fit with Minerva. She has been one of my brick walls for years, and with the just found marriage information, I am on her trail again. Will appreciate any help. Thanks, Ida
