Dear Sandra, I did it and I found it so now I will see about borrowing it by interlibrary loan.

Bob, If you discover your Collie family in Pittsylvania Co., VA, and then find yourself stuck going further back in time, I would suggest that you might take a look at Edward Colley and wife Mary [Strong] Colley. They resided in Mecklenburg Co., VA, married in 1751, and had 20 children. James R. Rolff has written two books on his Strong family, and goes into detail on the Colleys. Mary [Strong] Colley's Strong brothers filtered down to to what became Pittsylvania / Henry Counties, VA and it's possible that some of the Colley children followed their uncles. As I said, James R. Rolff has written two Strong books, but the recently revised edition is what you would want if you are able to pinpoint your Collie ancestor in or around Pittsylvania Co.: "Strong Family of Virginia & Other Southern States" by James Robert Rolff - privately published 2007 If you're interested in purchasing the book, contact me & I'll put you in touch with the author. Francie

Thanks for the email Francie. I will hold on to it at least until I get The Collie Family of Pittsylvania Co., VA book and will let you know where I stand then.
