Probate

"These are surely references, respectively, to the brothers, Abraham and Isaac Collins. Their sister, Ann, is identified in the 1768 Will of their father, Abraham Collings, Md. Col. Wills, 36.327, and in Maryland Marriage Clues V. 3: Harris, _____ to Ann, dau of Abraham Collins, DOR Md. Balance Books 5/237, 1769. This is likely William Harriss, based upon the MESVR Nicolite record of the 5/2/1775 birth of Jeane Harriss, of William and Ann. The Abraham Collings will names (in that order). It is likely that this Abraham Collins (or son Abraham) is the same as cited in Early Settlers of Maryland 1731-50 as acquiring Collins Venture, 60 a.., on 8 Oct 1747 (BT/178; T11/220). “Collins Venture” was owned by Isaac Collins in the 1783 Tax Assessment. Maryland Colonial wills (vol 16, p 220/1) lists Abraham and Isaac Collins, along with Samuel Andrew as witnesses of the 18 Feb 1775 will of Lot Pritchett in Caroline County. Samuel Andrew may have been a brother-in-law to Abraham and Isaac.

http://www.collinsfactor.com/collins/Abe-p/p1.htm Birth c 1700 Northampton, Virginia, The estimated birth year is based on essentially two facts. Abraham Collins was not labeled as a minor in two 1719 records. So it is likely he was 18 or older at the time. The second fact is that Abraham Collins had children in the 1740s. It is more likely he had children in his 40s rather than his 50s. So the best estimate is that he was born in 1700, was 18 when he married Elizabeth Berry and 19 at the recording of the 1719 deeds and was age 39 to 45 when he fathered his 4 known children.

http://www.collinsfactor.com/collins/Abe-p/p1.htm Abraham Collins (c 1700 - 2 Feb 1768) Pop-up Pedigree Father 1648 Abraham Collins Mother   Martha Unknown Keystones   Key Document Summary... 1718 court case Northampton County VA - Abraham Collings entermarrieing with Elizabeth Berry, the widdow and relick of Cornelus Berry 1719 record Northampton County - Abraham Collins gives his entire estate to son, Abraham Collins. 1741 tithe list Northampton County VA - Abraham Collins tithed for negroes Tom, Combo, & 2 others. 1768 Will Dorchester/Caroline County MD - Abraham Collins mentions older negroes Tom, Combo, & others. 1768 Will Dorchester/Caroline County MD - Abraham also mentions hiis wife Ann, sons Abraham and Isaac, and daughters Ann and Welford.

The known... 54 records found to date, including a Will, deeds, court records and tithe list entries. Abraham Collins had an association with the Quatermus family in Northampton AND Dorchester/Caroline Counties. Prior to 1745, the Collins name almost never appears in Dorchester County (mid 1600s, 1 entry). After 1745, the name Abraham Collins is never mentioned in a Northampton County record. From 1722 to 1731, Cornelius & John Berry (children of Elizabeth) were often recorded tithes of Abraham Collins

The unknown... What happened to Elizabeth Berry Collins? When did Abraham marry Ann? As the Northampton records from 1719 to 1745 are abstracted and published, we may find more information.
