    3. The addendum is, at best, an abbreviation of the detail provided by Professor Collins. The author has used the data on birth, marriages, and deaths of the first two generations following William Collins, Sr., in somewhat abbreviated form but has been content to list descendants of any following generations, or their numbers if names were lacking, without further elaboration. Index numbers follow the conventions used in the body of the booklet. With the November, 1990, revision, this Addendum, originally used as an insert, becomes part of the more inclusive Addendum beginning on p.101. *c.9-William Collins b. 4/13/1806 Russell Co. VA d.3/30/1896 Craigsville, Nicholas Co. WV m.1-Mary "Polly" Mullins 3/22/1829, Pike Co., KY. Daughter of William H. Mullins.

It has been said that it was remorse from this incident that prompted William Collins to take up religion. Davis (ca 1896), however, wrote that he converted in 1837, and it appears more likely that his unyielding fundamentalist religious beliefs may have contributed to Pricey's suicide. c.4-Matilda Collins b.1836, Russell Co., VA. d.1920, Staples, Todd Co., MN m.Jacob "Alum Jake" Cline 7/2/1852, Logan Co., VA. 12 children were born to this couple, 11 of whom lived to adulthood and became the foundation of "The Clines of Minnesota". c.5-Louisa "Eliza" Collins b.ca 1839, Russell or Tazewell Co., VA d.1881, McDowell Co., WV m.Hiram Anderson Lambert 1/20/1860, Logan Co., VA (WV) b.1839, Probably Tazewell Co., VA.

KY d.11/26/1942 Mossyrock, Lewis Co., WA. Sampson moved his family to Mossyrock in 1902. Sampson Collins' descendents may be of special interest to the "Minnesota Clines" for he was a favorite of Matilda (Collins) Cline's children before they left for Minnesota in 1871, though he was only 10 years old when they left. Matilda's son, Sampson, was named after this uncle. m.Florence Mainard 2/1/1880 Logan Co., WV b.1862 c.1-Willie Z.

Blankenship Sources: *Eula Collins Conley 1983 printing of "The Pioneer Clines of Minn." by Marlin Cline devoted 16 pgs to the Collins family. Info. provided by Eula Cline Conley. Eula Conley was a descendant of William's 2nd wife Mary Ann "Molly" Hatfield. Eula Conley concentrated her correspondence w/Marlin Cline on William Collins' first family w/Mary Mullins & on Meredith. Eula became ill before much info. about William's 2nd family w/Molly Hatfied was obtained. Eula has since passed away. *Info & census data of 1810 & 1820 for Floyd Co. KY (now Pike Co. KY) *Orvis F. Collins of 146 N. Brier Rd., Amherst, NY 14228, a professor at NY St.U at Buffalo, (Eula Collins Conley believed Orvis was working on the Collins family.) Orvis' great grandfather was William Collins, Sr. Orvis has dates on births, marriages & deaths for the first 2 generations following William Collins,Sr. I hope that this might help someone and I would love to find more info on the Holloways in this line.
