Hi, Elizabeth Collins (1790-ca1860) wife of Cassidy Rawlings was a daughter of Samuel Collins (1764-1814) and Debrorah Stevens (1758-1845). Samuel was a son of Abraham Collins (1743-1818) and Jane Andrew (1755-1824). This Abraham was a son of Abraham Collins (1701-1768) and Ann (unknown). This Abraham was the son of Abraham Collins (1648-ca1719) and Martha. He came to Northampton County, VA in 1663 at age 15 when an indenture was entered. Deborah Stevens was a daughter of John Stevens (1740-1802). He was a son of Jonathan Stevens (-ca1767) and Adria/Anoday Benthall. The Benthall line continues way back with other associated names. Jane Andrew was a daughter of John Andrew (-1786) who was a son of John Andrew (1686-1763) Jonathan Stevens, the eldest Abraham Collins, and the Benthall connection all come from Northampton County, VA. The remaining people can be found in the area in and around East New Market, MD and Concord/Harmony, MD.
