1850’s(IX) 1-1-6-2-4-1 WILLIAM COLLINS, born 1770, died 1837, married 1791 MARY CLARDY, daughter of JOHN CLARDY and ELIZABETH BULLINGTON. William and Mary moved across the State line from Mecklenburg County, Virginia, to Granville County, North Carolina, about the time he married. It is believed and assumed by early family members ca. 1920’s that he was the son of William Collins of Spotsylvania County who came to Halifax sometime in the early history of that county. William had five brothers and sisters: (from Richard A. Edwards)

North Carolina, d. 20, November 1842 in Smith Co. Tennessee. Brother to Mary Clardy who married William Collins. Benjaman and Elizabeth had six daughters and two sons, of these five daughters died one by one as they reached the age of 19 or 20 The other daughter SUSANAH CLARDY, married WILLIAM T. BRITTEN of Smith Co. Tennessee and had two daughters. Of the two sons, JOHN C. CLARDY moved to Kentucky in 1831 and his descendants are found there. The greater part in Christian County Kentucky; one was a member of Congress, and for three or four generations some have been doctors.
Of WILLIAM CLARDY, the other son, little is known, but is presumed that his descendants can be found in Smith Co. Tenn. sense there are several families in that county with the Clardy name. (from Richard A. Edwards.)

(all information on Joseph and children from Richard A. Prewitt) Other people suspect the parents of children below are possibly (VIII)1-1-6-3-1 James Collins m. Elizabeth Wylie or (VI)3-1-3 James Collins m. Elizabeth Gillentine. Of the three Elizabeth Gillentine and James Collins our the least likely, as I have had only to people say this over the last two years and they had no source information for saying this. I suspect they may have picked up on James Collins m. Elizabeth and got Wiley mixed up with Gillentine some how. There our two schools of thought the older one believing that James m. Elizabeth Wiley and a more recent view that Joseph m. Lucy Marchbanks. It is important to say that neither one has proof positive source information that shows which one is correct.
I will add more on Elisha at a later date as I sort my mountain of information and why I feel Joseph and Lucy are a more likely prospect. Again there is no document that I have seen that positively Identifies the parents of Elisha and siblings with any parent. It is just by association with other records and how you add them up to what is after all our best guess. .

* Note on Brockman he appears to have written other books as well that duplicate some information ex. “Orange Co., Va Families” by Wm Brockman and there may be others.
*Note on ship “Supply” from Charles Stephen’s, reference John Camden (Hotten) see Hotten above. Entry “Collins and the Supply”. i.e. “Muster of John Collins–John Collins age 30 years in the Supply, 1620, Susan, his wife, aged 40 years, in the Treasurer, 1613 & Ann Usher, aged 8 years, born here. Little more of a mess on our John Collins above.
April 30, 2008 at 11:55 am #31223John Collins of England family tree
(I) JOHN COLLINS b. 1569 in Madison Co. Kent, England d. 1644 County Kent, England. I have no source for this info. No wife. One suspected offspring with no source. Carol Miller sites “History of Kent County, England, vol. 2” p.110. Carol states John’s will mentions son John. See her web site.
(II) JOHN COLLINS (only child) b. Maidstone, County Kent, England, left Kent England in 1655 to Lawnes Creek Parish, Surrey Co., Va. From Jane Becker with no source.
(III) (1)JOHN COLLINS (2)JOHN A. COLLINS b. in Maidstone, County Kent, England d. July 15 1686 in Essex Co., Va. m. (1)MARGARET WEEKS Apr. 1674. Second Wife ELIZABETH CAUFIELD. Jane Becker provided info for(2) and had both first and second wife, no source given. NEW DATA from Kay Banks, she is not sure but info on John Collins of Maidenstone might have come from book on Collins of Caroline Co., Va. by ? From Charles A. Stephens remembering a circulated genealogy but not by who and no sources, that John came to America in 1655 (20 yrs after William).
Questions are II. John and III. John the same and if not which one came to America in 1655? This is most likely the case and Carol Millerbelieves this to be true See her web site for more information.
One suspected offspring of John and Margaret, with no source.
(IV)1. WILLIAM COLLINS b. 1612 in Isle of Wight (from LDS) b. 1612 Maidenstone, Kent Co., England (from Richard A. Prewitt) d. (1) 1705, (2) aft. 1691 Pro, Orange Va. (3) bef. 1687 m. (1) ANN WILDES, (2) ANN WILDE, (3) ANN (KING) WILDES abt. 1637 (4) ANN widow of THOMAS WILDS. Some information from LDS no source listed, (4) came from Frank Youngblood siting “The Brockman Scrapbook” by W.E. Brockman. Also Richard A. Prewitt states William married Ann in 1640 and she was the daughter of ROBERT KING (will 1690) and MARY. Lori, E-mail at dittobyte@aol.com siting Leonardo Andreas (material avl. through LDS) states Mrs. Ann Wildes married William Collins in 1675. From Carol Millerimportant youSee her web sitehere for more detail, She has William Collins moving to King and Queen Co. in 1691 see (King and Land patents, book 8, p. 209 and owning land near the GEORGE DILLARDS plantation. She does not believe this is the William who married Ann Wilds but that her (IV)B.1 William is still the son of (II) John Collins above. She does not know the wife for this (IV)B.1William and has one son listed (V)B.1-1 JOHN COLLINS (I have started a separate numbering system denoted by the letter B to follow Carol’s research down.) This John she has married to a CONSTANT ? with three children:
(VI)B.1-1-1 NICHOLAS COLLINS b. Orange Co., VA d. 1824 Orange Co. VA. m. ANN or/and MARGARET LONG two children:

(VI)B.1-1-3 ELIZABETH COLLINS m. JAMES ALVERSON one child:
(VII)B.1-1-3-1 JOHN ALVERSON
I have incomplete information from a book Clardy Family by J.W.Johnson-Call Number CS 7 C595 Library of Congress That a William Collins came to America in 1635 aboard the good ship Supply, this is all the information given to me I do not have the book to see if more is said or if it mentions it’s source, I am looking for this book. From Charles Stephens siting Crozier, Vol 1, Virginia County Records, Immigrants to Virginia page 284. date 15 May 1635: Theis underwritten names are to Virginia imbarques in the “Plain Joan” Richard Buckam, Master, the pties having brought attestation of thei confirmitie to the orders and discipline of th Church of England.” In the right column, WILLIAM COLLINS age 20 years, and WM. COLINS age 34 years. Also from Charles, this information is repeated in “The Original List of Persons of Quality” by Hooten pages 78-79. The Original passenger list has 84 persons who Embarked for Virginia at the Port of London on 15 May 1635. Included two Wm. Collins, one age 20 the other age 34. With these two Williams listed here, There is possibly three Williams. talk about a mess! Carol’s material adds to the mess but may be the beginning of sorting out these two or three William Collins.
*note age 20 and 34 do not equal a 1612 birth date.
There are four children researched as those of William and Ann (V)1-1. JOHN (see below) ,
(V)1-2. ANN b. 1645 (V)1-3. THOMAS b. 1660 (V)1-4. WILLIAM (from Richard A. Prewitt)

Again LDS provided info on (1) but again no source. much confusion on Name of wife Eleanor, Amy or Mary, Olive, Wyatt or both? Jane Becker provided information on John’s birth & death dates of (2)&(3) & marriage and death date of Mary Wyatt(3) no source. Information on (4) Amy Wyatt came from Frank Youngblood siting the “THE BROCKMAN SCRAPBOOK” by W.E. BROCKMAN no source from reference sited. (5) This information comes from Lori E-mail at dittobyte@aol.com she sites Leonardo Andreas work as source for this information which is available through the LDS. (4 &5) R. Prewitt also has Elleanor Oliver as wife with same parents and has Mary Wyatt listed as second wife.
LDS has 5 children listed for John Collins and wife Eleanor Olive, (VI)1-1-6. JOSEPH ,
(VI)1-1-2. JOHN Jr., (VI)1-1-3. THOMAS, (VI)1-1-4. WILLIAM, and (VI)1-1-5.GEORGE.

Robinsons were in same pew. m. (2) Eliz. (Barbee) Redd. widow of Thos. Redd She was dau. of John Barbee and Ann Miller. Virginia Amorde on her web page has the wife of John Barbee as Elizabeth Beaumont, no source listed for this info. Her web page is on Familytreemaker. Thomas and Elizabeth had two children together, Thomas Jr., and William.
After Thomas Collins died Elizabeth Barbee married Samuel Hilldrup.
The father of Ann Miller, (Elizabeth’s mother) was John Miller. (from Kay Banks and Richard A. Edwards)
1st wife __?__ JOYEUX?

b. ca. 1731 King & Queen Co., VA.
(VIII) 1-1-6-2-2 JOYCE COLLINS (see different spellings above) b. 1733 (date from LDS)
b. ca. 1738 (from Richard A. Prewitt)
2nd wife ELIZABETH BARBEE m. 1730 (date from Richard A. Prewitt)
(VIII) 1-1-6-2-3 THOMAS COLLINS Jr. b. bef. 1731 (date from LDS) b. ca. 1745 (from Richard A. Edwards and R.A. Prewitt) d. 1820 Madison Co., KY (from Banks, Edwards and Prewitt) m. (1) Oct 22, 1770 Miss Garland m. (2) Susannah Wallace daugther of Andrew Wallace and Margaret Woods. m. (3) June 17, 1781 Mary Barr (from Banks, Edwards and Prewitt)Virginia Amorde has a Thomas Collins who married Susannah Wallace as parents to Thomas Collins who married Elizabeth Barbee not there son. She has this (VIII) 1-1-6-2-3 Thomas Collins married (1) Mary Susan Wallace b. abt. 1743 d. abt. 1813 daughter of Andrew Wallace and Margaret Woods m. (2) Abigale Barbee Garland. See(IX) 1-1-6-3-4-2Thomas as he is listed as marring a Abigale Barbee. You can see the dificulty here either Virginia has added a new Thomas to the mix or just broke Thomas marriages up making Thomas the father of himself. Also is Susaannah Wallace and Mary Susan Wallace possibly the same person or sisters as we have Andrew Wallace and Margaret Woods listed as parents for both Susannah an Mary. I have E-mailed her for clarification and am interested in hearing back from her to see where her information came from. When I do I will let you all know.
Virginia has children of Thomas and Mary Susan Wallace as:

April 30, 2008 at 11:55 am #31226Here is some stuff from my record….should show my line does not match the above families.
Old SC newspaper article.
April 30, 2008 at 11:55 am #31227FIRST GENERATION
1. William Dobbins Sr was born on 17 Feb 1740 in Granville Co NC. He appeared on the census in 1790 and 1800 in Rutherford Co NC. He died on 23 Sep 1814 in Ellenboro, Rutherford Co and was buried in the Dobbins – Harrill family cemetery, Cleveland Co NC. He was a farmer in Rutherford Co NC He was a member of State Line Baptist Church, Cherokee Co SC. As a Revolutionary War patriot, he was paid 52 pounds, 9 shillings, 8 pence sterling for sundry provisions in 1781 and 1782. He moved from Granville County NC to York District SC between 1761 and 1776 and then moved to Rutherford County NC.
He married Susannah Collins (daughter of William Collins and Sally) about 1760 in Granville Co NC. She was born on 27 Feb 1738 in Granville Co NC. She appeared on the census in 1790, 1800 and 1830 in Logan’s Township, Rutherford Co NC. In 1830 she was living with her son Drury. She died on 1 May 1832 in Rutherford Co and was buried in the Dobbins – Harrill family cemetery. She was a member of State Line Baptist Church. They had the following children:
+2 James Ballard Dobbins Sr.
+3 William “Will” Dobbins Jr.
+4 Mary “Mollie” Dobbins.
+5 Frances “Frannie” Dobbins.
+6 Jonathan Dobbins Sr.
+7 Ezekiel Dobbins.
+8 Rev. Drury Dobbins.
The Birth of susannah in Granville was a assumption due to her Marriage in Granville, nc (now orange county, NC) and that William Dobbins being born there. Source: Texas Daughters Revolutionary Ancestors.
April 30, 2008 at 11:55 am #31228Then we have Nancy holifield’s Application letter for enrollment in the Cherokee nation….it was sent in about 1898.
My name is Nancy Holifield I am 57 years old I live in cobb county Ga. I claim my indian descent through my father.My mother is a white woman.My father claimed the indian.My grandfathers name was Drury Dobbins that was my fathers name also.My husband is a white man.My father was born and raised in Rutherford county NC.He died in 1892 he was 65.He would be 81.My grandfather was born in Virginia.He died in Rutherford NC.1851 or 1852.Dont know when he left Virgina. My great grandfather was Jesse Dobbins.People think I am a white woman in my community.W.S. is my brother he is married to a white woman. It has her X
She could not read or write.
This says Drury was born in VA…but I think she meant that Susannah was born in virginia since we have proof Drury was born in York county SC….and we have proof William Dobbins was born in Granville NC (then Orange county NC) by the “Texas Daughters Revolutionary Ancestors”.
So that Leaves Susanna Collins as being who was from Virginia. We also know that this Dobbins family was part of the same Quaker Dobbins family that was found living next to the Monacan indians of virginia. Nancy stated Virginia 2 times so it was not a mistake about virginia.

W.Va. 82 All of the above Guion miller applications state Drury was native American….they also mention Virginia…I believe 1 of them says Susanna was from Virginia.
April 30, 2008 at 11:55 am #31231Drury Dobbins’ family bible also states his grandmother was named Sally (william collins’ wife). It also states the children of Susanna and william dobbins went to a “old fields” school….Old Fields is a term for Native american land, usually to refer to a Native american village….Catawba did just so happen to have a 15 mile reservation in York county Sc (they got the reservation about 16 years before Drury was born)…..in used in the term “old field school” is could mean the same as Native american school.
