I never have been able to find much on this Collins. I did at one time find information on his will. He mucst have been considered a wealthy and educated Indian as he owned much land and slaves.

Brenda,
The numbers, i.e. “27” is age.
“w” is wife.
“s” is son.
“d” is daughter.
Compare the following to your 1851 Cherokee east of the Mississippi census, looks like them :
1850 Forsythe Co., Ga Census, 31st District, p. 151B, 8 Aug.

Only other Collins in Forsythe Co:

==========================
Collins in surrounding counties:
Gwinnett = James A.; John; George.
Hall = Nathaniel; Elley; Phillip.
Cobb = Charles, 40-49 y/o; John, 70-79; J.J., 30-39; James, 50-59;
John, 50-59; J. A., 30-39.
There were no Collins in Lumpkin or Cherokee Counties.
The ones in Gwinnett and Hall Counties are listed but not indexed to a page number, but if you think you need them, I’ll gladly pick them out for you.
