Isaac died in 1782 and his widow married Jonathan Cathell, who became guardian to Levin and his siblings, Isaac and Esther. Jonathan died in 1797, and I believe Levin became guardian to Jonathan and Betty's children, as Betty had already died and there is a lump sum settlement to Levin Collins in the administrative account of Jonathan's estate. The younger Jonathan Cathell first appears on the census (Little Creek Hundred) in 1820 right next door to Levin. Levin Collins is on the census for Little Creek Hundred through 1820,and is absent afterwards, so I expect he died between 1820 and 1830. I'm wondering if someone has access to his will and can tell me who his children are. Especially if Daughty Collins (b. ~1796), who also appears on the 1820 census as an apparent newlywed, is his son. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
