Hi, For Margaret Collins, the most likely candidate I have is found in the following Census record... 1850 Census - Caroline County Tilghman Collins 51 farmer Ann 48 Margrett 19 Priscilla 12 Jessee 7 Henry 5 Isaac Henry 21 labourer Wesley - 11 black Evidently Margaret ran off with the hired help (-; I would love to have any more info you have about the children of Tilghman Collins. I do not have much info about Collins that left Caroline/Dorchester Counties. Tilghman Collins was a son of George Collins (1765-aft1830) and Nicey Hubbard. George Collins was a son of Abraham Collins (1743-1818) and Jane Andrew. Son of the Abraham (1701-1768). See below and previous message. A Census record indicates a Peter (1833-) and Isaac H Jester (1843-) were brothers. Both were sons of Peter Jester (ca1803-). The elder Peter was the son of Boaz Jester (-ca1824) and Rachel Collins (ca1764-bef1816). I have Peter Jester (1803-) marrying a lady named Matilda per a Census record. The son Peter may be the one that married Mary Dean in 1850. I do not have that in my database. Rachel was a daughter of Isaac Collins (1746-1803) and Nancy Andrew (-aft1785). Isaac was a son of Abraham Collins (1701-1768) and Ann (unknown). Abraham was a son of Abraham Collins (1648-1719) and Martha. He came to Northampton County, VA in 1663 at age 15 when an indenture was entered for him. I would be happy to send you a GEDCOM if you can help me identify some other individuals that went West.
