Ellen, Thank you. Though it is probably not a direct relation I would like the RIPPEE information. My line migrated to Wright County, Missouri, so they are likely related. I might even be able to add to the information for you as well as adding to my own database. Thank you, look forward to hearing from you.

Greetings Fellow Researchers, I am new to this list and thought I would introduce myself. My name is Brenda Collins Dillon. I live in Massachusetts far away from my Appalachian beginnings. I have been doing family history for over 25 years and have placed most of my information along with other researchers on a web site for all to use for their personal use( no collecting materials for profit). My site is "Appalachian Mountain Families" which has hundreds of surnames but a special interest in the COLLINS Clan, Native American, and Melungeon Research. URL is http://members.xoom.com/Appalachian/index.htm ( all lower case but the A) My earliest COLLINS is Meredith Collins b. 1760 Virginia. At age 16 he joined the REVWAR along with three other Collins men, George,David,and Lewis Collins. They entered in Fincastle Co 1776 ( I believe in 1776 Fincastle took in what is today Grayson & part of Washigton Co.) I discovered this record in Christianburg ,Va. These four Collins men stayed close together from 1776-1796 when they all surface on the Wilkes Co. tax list. They also served durning the 1780's in the Montgomery Co. militia under osburn & Cox. These men show up on tax list and census list as mullato and FPC ( free person of Color) After years of research we developed what we call a COLLINS TIMELINE that shows these men with other Collins always living in the same locations. We believe the four we are interested in are the grandsons of Old Thomas Collins who had sons, Thomas Jr, John, Samuel, George, Benjamin, and Charles. They are in the Ashe, Alleghany, and Wilkes County area durning the 1780's & 90's. Meredith Collins had a first family in NC. His first wife is unknown but could be Bradley related since his first son b. 1786 was named Bradley COLLINS Meredith is spelled a variety of ways( Meredith, Merdy, Meridia, Meriday, Maryadh, Merridah ) Rumor has him related to the well known Melungeon Vardy Collins of Newman's Ridge TN. Meredith moved into Russell Co. Va, then Pike Co. Ky. He had a second family w/ Polly HOLLOWAY and after her death ( 1812) he took a common law wife, Milly JOHNSON. He died in Pike Co. KY 1841.Ch. Bradley, John W, Edward, Archibald, Reuben, James, William, Merdy and 2 unnamed daughters.( possibley Lucinda and Amy Collins) I would love to find the name of first wife and pinpoint where they were living. Also his parentage. If anybody has anything in their research of deeds, land grands, wills, in this area that tie into these Collins I would very much appreciate the help. Brenda Collins Dillon........aka Bj

Hi Elizabeth, No, I haven't confirmed the parents of Celia BRINEGAR. (I haven't spent a whole lot of time on her.) Judging from her US Census returns, she was probably born in Virginia and came to NC at a very early age. She was born February, 1819. However, I don't find any BRINEGAR's in western VA at that time. I do know that there were two BRINEGAR males in Ashe County between 1810 to 1815, namely Jacob BRINEGAR and Adam BRINEGAR. I don't know if these two BRINEGAR's relate to the Jacob & Adam BRINEGAR's of Clark and Fleming Counties, KY. Kinda look similar, tho. - Dave On 18-Oct-98, Elizabeth Harris wrote: >Dave Hamm wrote, >>Looking for more information regarding the descendants of Enoch HAM. >>Enoch the son of Eli HAM and Celia BRINEGAR.

Hi Elizabeth, I believe that birth and death records began in Ashe County in 1913. I have found a "delayed" birth certificate from 1888 (based on bible records, issued in the 1940's) among their birth records.The earliest references to birth dates I have found were on the death records, dating back to the 1840's. So, the courthouse is limited in that respect. I have obtained ther birth records in Ashe County from bible records, cemetery records, church records, other researchers, and from the various family history publications in Ashe County. - Dave RE: On 16-Oct-98, Elizabeth Andersen wrote: >I am new to this list.

Hi everyone, Due to continuing illness, I will be having to give up acting as county coordinator of Avery, Ashe, Cherokee & Alleghany Counties. I'ts nothing I wish to do, but my body has just decided that it wants to do something other than my mind does <g> As a result, these counties are now up for adoption. I hope and pray each of you find continued success in your research and hope that the pages I developed helped in a small way. Thanks! Jen
