Particularly, I am interested in the Colliers in the Charleston, Orangeburg and Colleton areas. I am specifically interested in Thomas Collier and his sons William and Benjamin of Colleton (ca 1743) and John Collier of Colleton Co (ca 1749). John was originally out of Virginia and would have been born ca 1710-1720 (best guess). I know that many of the Colliers in northern South Carolina (Abbeville Dist) are descendants of Cornelius Collier of King and Queen Co., Va. Also I am aware of Joseph Collier of Edgefield (originally of Hanover Co., Va) If anyone has researched the Colliers of Orangeburg, Colleton and Charleston areas of South Carolina, I would certainly appreciate hearing from you. Perhaps I can help you with your research as well. You can email me at dboots3144@aol.com Donna
