Biography

Levin Collins was born 1784 in Delaware, emigrated with parents to GA abt 1797, and died in Upshur County, TX on April 15, 1855. His obituary notice appeared in the Christian Index in 1855, and his estate went through probate court in Upshur County, TX with his son John G. Collins as administrator. Ann (listed Anna in the court documents) died in 1860 in Upshur County, Tx. Her estate was probated in Upshur County with Stephen Hallmark, husband of her daughter Ann Ritty, as administrator. Levin had bought considerable property in Upshur and Harrison Counties, TX in 1855. Obviously, he didn't live but four months after the purchase. It took a while to untangle his estate and set the dower for Anna. I noticed that the Culpepper genealogy does not list a maiden name for Anna. I have run into a brick wall on that fact, also. In addition, I haven't been able to trace Levin's ancestors, though I am fairly sure he is from Sussex County, DE as were many who settled in Harris and Troup County, GA. The area from which he came was in the conflicted border with Maryland, so I noticed the 1850 census listed MD as his birthplace. Levin and Anna's children were:

1. Isaac P. COLLINS, b. 1810, married Martha___. Isaac P. was in Talledega Co. AL by 1846 and in Harrison Co., TX by 1852; in Bosque Co., TX by 1880.

2. Elizabeth COLLINS, b. 1814, m. ?

3. Nancy COLLINS, b. 1816, married James Monroe Culpepper on 22 Dec 1842. She died 21 May 1860(?) in Harris Co., GA.

4. Mary COLLINS, b. abt 1817, married James A. D. Latham on 25 May 1837. She was deceased by 1854.

5. Ann Ritty COLLINS, b. 1818. married Stephen Wilburn Hallmark on 29 Mar 1835. They were in Upshur Co.,TX by 1855.

6. John G.COLLINS, b. 1820, married Rebecca satterwhite on 5 Aug 1843 in Harris Co., GA. They were in Harrison Co., TX by 1852.

7. Seaborn Key COLLINS, b. 1830, married Elizabeth R. Satterwhite on 8 Sept 1852. They were in Upshur Co., TX by 1855.
