Hi Rooters, Is there any help on the following Collins family? Joseph Collins, Sr. was born 5-15-1739 in Rowan Co,NC; enlisted in the Revolution in Wilkes Co, GA; lived in Morgan Co: applied for a Revolutionary War Pension 8-27-1833 in Upson Co, GA; and died 8-25-1838 in Upson Co. He had no widow, but the Pension File named children living in 1853: Joseph born about 1803, Enoch, Thomas, and Nancy who married Benjamin Cochran Joseph drew land in the 1820 Lottery; he drew land in Gwinnett Co 1-26-1824 and Irwin Co 9-4-1827. Sarah Matilda Colllins, wife of Banister Cochran, was dead in 1853 and is not identified as a daughter. Benjamin and Banister Cochran were brothers and probably married sisters, however no document has been found that confirms that Joseph was Sarah Collins' father. No evidence of a will in Morgan or Upson Co, through Upson Co probate records. Harold Cochran [email protected]
