Cecilia, It seems unlikely?that your ancestor?Andrew Collins had a will since his wife Isabella Collins was still living in Orange County, NC after Andrew's death about 1820 as you stated.? If he did have a will, I suspect that it would be found?in Orange County.? You might try seeing if you can find his estate records,?the administrator's bond (who the administrator of his estate was), the inventory of his estate, and the sale and/or settlement of his estate documents.? Isabella Collins is listed on the 1820 Orange County census with only herself, age 45 & up, and two white females, one age 10-16 years, and one age 16-26 years.? There were no males of any race and there were no slaves listed as living with Isabella. Linda ________________________________________________________________________ More new features than ever.
