Surnames: Collins, Cannon Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YYB.2ACI/1551.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.3.1 Message Board Post: I don't know if your Collings are related to my Collins or not. See the only name I know for sure is Mary Etta Collins who was born in Ohio in 1826. I have reason to believe that Mary was from Adams county, but I'm not even really certain about that. The man she married John Handy Cannon was from Highland county, and they married in Knox County Illinois. My information is really sparce on this Collins line. I do have a lead about who her mother could be, but at this point no way to verify. And no clues at all about her father. So thats where I'm at. Thanks for your reply.
