Wasn't Meredith COLLINS a Rev. War Vet? Were there pension papers on him? I have never tried to look for Meredith, but realize he was near to my ROBERTS clan in Pike Co.

Meredith aka Meridia Collins entered Captain James McDaniel's Fincastle co. militia 1776 with George Collins David Collins and Lewis Collins. All four Collins entered the same day and in the same district. These same four men also show up in "Kegely's " records as being on the Montgomery Co. Va militia list durning the 1780's. Three of them are listed on Montgomery Co. tax list but Meredith is not. Remember he entered 1776 at age 16 and first son is not born until 1787 NC . I loose him durning that 10 year period. My belief is that the four Collins were father and sons or four brothers. Another thing I can't prove.
