I’m not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but maybe it can be moved later if it needs to be elsewhere.
I came across this old post on one of the genealogy boards and wondered if anyone here has any further information about this.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seeking information on the following: Cate COLLINGS (COLLINS) , an “Indian Woman”
servant of William GIBBS, Constable of Arrowmuskeet. March 1765 Hyde County, NC Court
Minutes and Orphans Book 2, on motion of Patrick GORDON ordered that Wm. GIBBS “shew”
cause if he has any, why Cate COLLINGS (COLLINS) an Indian woman, now in his service
should not be set free. June Court 1765 – ordered that Wm. GIBBS have timely notice that he
show cause why Cate COLLINGS (COLLINS), an Indian woman be not set at liberty. Also
believe her possible descendants (all free people of color) were Susannah b. before 1776,
Charity b. circa 1800, Horatio,and Nancy. Both Horatio and Nancy were cited for illegal
marriages to slaves.
Horatio had “taken up” with a slave named Winney property of Henry LUCAS in Hyde County,
April 1863.
Nancy, had “taken up” with a slave named Ellick, property of Ananias SADLER, October 1842.
Thanks for contributing that. I’ve seen the court records about the Saponi Collins who was dragged into court for burning a field, but I didn’t know about this case.
