So where did these stories of his being of indian decent come from. Maybe I should have a dna test done to see if there is any real evidence. Do any of you know of a good testing Company?
Amos Collins is my 3rd g-grandfather and I am having an mtDNA done this week. My male relatives will be having there’s done as well at familytreedna.com
I’ll post the results as soon as I get them…
I had a dna test done at ancestry but it told me nothing, I come down from amos through his son John Gilbert
So did I. Solomon Collins was John Gilbert Collins son and my 2nd g-grandfather. The testing at familytreedna.com is awesome and has shown many successes! Go to their website and read everything including their forum. They have a Collins Project and are studying dna from Amos that is on file. So you could be matched. The mtDNA can be taken by both male and female. My brother will be having his done as well.

I meant to say so do I… on the first line of the above response. I also have family descending from Amos Collins, but no, I have never had a DNA test taken through Ancestry.com for many reasons not worth going into. I choose FamilyTreeDNA.com because of their reputation and awesome forum of researchers, etc. that are willing to look at your results and help you understand it. I highly recommend mtDNAPlus as a starting point and it’s easily upgraded if you need more information later on. Thanks
