Discrepancy

No original source records have been located to confirm birth or marriage records. It appears that some erroneous information may have been published, and perhaps republished/reported, making the “actual facts” obscure. There is a great deal of conflicting information surrounding the Collins Family of Essex – Many Source-to-Source discrepancies; co-mingling, Lack of records; conflicting family stories; number of Collin’s with the same names, etc.

An Effort has been made to update/split individual information from the Contemporary Profiles frequently containing co-mingled data on the various "Joseph's, Richards, etc., (see individual profiles for more detailed information). See Also Collins Family Research Notes

"Elizabeth Gillintine, the daughter of Nicholas Gillintine and Eleanor Echols, married a Collins. Her father left her one feather bed in his will. Her husband was probably James Collins.

On 15 July 1743, James Collins conveyed to William Hutchison 100 acres on the upper side of Flat Creek. Elizabeth, his wife, relinquished her dower right. This land was part of James’s 400-acre land patent of 14 October 1736 .

James and Elizabeth sold another 100-acre portion of his patent to John Compton of Louisa County 24 September 1743 for £10 .

They continued to live in Amelia County until 20 November 1747 when they sold their last 200 acres to John Compton for £60.

The Collins’s disappeared from Amelia County about 1748 and probably moved to Lunenburg (now Halifax) County with the Marchbank, Gillintine, and Hubbard families."
