Descendants of Griffin Collins Sr

Generation No. 1

1. GRIFFIN COLLINS¹ SR was born 1773 in North Carolina. He married MOSSIE(MARTHA).

(I have found in my research that “Mossie” is a nickname for Martha. Her name was Martha on one of the census records, and simply “Massey” or “Mossie” on others. Some believe her name was Martha MASSEY..I am not yet convinced).

Children of GRIFFIN SR and MOSSIE(MARTHA) are:

Here is a word from the Author….if has other info on this or questions etc…feel free to tell her as she is just as interested in the Collins family as the rest of us.

Here are bits and pieces of my Collins family history, gathered from many sources and researchers. If you have any information to add, clarify, or dispute, please email me and let me know. I will welcome all comments and new cousins ! This is a very sparse family tree, as I lost a lot of my information when I merged my file with another researchers. I welcome any documented additions.

[BlondeyeLaurie]

Joseph….you might be well to post the author’s name and sourcing info and maybe even show a URL for linking…just a thought~~~~Laurie

[BlondeyeLaurie]

Since Joseph started this GRIFFIN COLLINS thread I thought I’d post here a Q I have about this line…does anyone know of any group, organization or individual that can help fund a Y-DNA testing measure for a direct male Griffin Collins descendant….to my knowledge, no one from that Collins line has yet been tested and I imagine that it would be prudent to do so before this older gent gets older still….he resides out west and is retired/disabled but is very willing to test however…monetarilly he is not able to afford testing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you much in advance~~~Laurie
