As a Coursey descendant and researcher, I am very intereted in finding out more on Caul Collins d. 1807/1808. Below* is an extraction of the data in his estate. So many Courseys, and I cannot be sure of their connection. John McFatrick who is listed as assessors of the property is connected to the White family of Abner White, and there are Coursey connections in that line. Edward Holmes is one of the Bondsmen, and there are Coursey connections in that family. One Henry Capehart is involved with the estate of Capt. James Coursey who died in 1799 and had a wife Elizabeth who married James Tutt. So many connections, and I just cannot seem to get these early Courseys attached with any prool. Please get in touch with me if you can share data on any of the individuals mentioned in the estate, and have info. on the family of Caul Collins.
