Information from the Dutchess County Historical Society shows that "On the 9th inst. by the Rev. Mr Clark, Mr Oliver D Collins to Miss Sally Ward, dau of John Ward, both of Clinton" Published Tuesday Aug 14, 1804, Poughkeepsie Journal. In the 1800 Census (NY/Dutchess/Clinton) John Ward, Jr and Joshua Collins were only seperated by one family. Close enough for their children to have developed a relationship. I haven't done much research on Mary White. Thanks for pointing me in the direction of William White. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
