My g g grandfather Michael COLLINS was born in Ireland in 1835. He emigrated to VA sometime before the birth of my great grandmother Hannah COLLINS who was born in VA in 1854. A son Charles was born to Michael in VA in 1860. The 1870 census shows him as a farmer in MD with a wife Mary age 30 born in MD and two more children, Mary A. age 3 and Michael age 5/12, both born in MD. There is a possibility that Michael resided in Caroline County before he went to MD. Any information regarding Michael and Hannah would be greatly appreciated. Bill Quesenberry Bilque@aol.com
