I'm afraid I can't help you with the Collins, but this does raise a question. I have in my database the Nathaniel5 Yager in question (Nathaniel4, Adam3, Adam2, Nicholas1) married Frances PETTY. I have no idea where I came by that information, and there is no marriage record for them in either Culpeper or Madison counties. Does anyone have in evidence and source documentation for this marriage?
