Then of course if we go closer in time….this same line married into the petty family which was Catawba indians from York county listed on census records in the 1790’s. and if I remember right….the relatives of the Petty line was also in Orange county in 1790 as well. 🙂
If ya’ll can not tell..I’m just really bored right now lol I’ve been here reading and typeing for like 5 hrs I think lol
These are the COLLINS I am looking for, but their birth dates are definitely off by 20+ years. My bottom-line question is what was their racial ancestry. They are one of several families, including the CHAPMANS – my ancestors, in the Nutbush area of Granville whom I have been researching for years. I am trying to make a definite connection between my CHAPMANS and any of these mixed race families to shed brighter light on the circumstances surrounding the illegitamate birth of my direct SHORT ancestor and his 2 siblings during the 1830’s & 40’s. My SHORT ancestor’s father was Robert CHAPMAN, who eventually moved to Crittendon Co. Ark. where he was listed in the 1870 federal census as “B” and was living with a black family.
I also notice the one of William COLLINS’ unnamed daughter married an unmarried HARDGROVE [HARGROVE]. This is another very important surname in my search. Any information you have about the racial background of the COLLINS’ or CLARDY’s or HARDGROVES would be extremely appreciated.

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)
