This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Collins, White, Johnson, Sparks Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/FBB.2ACE/926 Message Board Post: I am working on a friend's family tree and have begun reconstructing from census records the line for Thomas Collins and Nancy Williams from Perry Co., Kentucky. I have run into some trouble with a few of the children's lines (Burdine and Larkin, specifically) and wonder if anyone on the message board can help me sort things out. Feel free to use my e-mail address to contact me directly. My friend's Collins connection comes through Thomas, his son Briant, grandson Carter, gr-grandson Samuel H., gr-gr-granddaughter Bertha, who married James Monroe White in Rowan Co., Kentucky, in 1909. Bertha and James were my friend's mother's parents. I also wonder if anyone can tell me if the James (as it appears, anyway) Collins listed in the 1840 census for Perry Co., Kentucky, is a sibling to Thomas.
