John was born in 1790. He was in the 1840 Census in Quincy, Adams Co, Illinois.
I have information that states that John Collins came to Wood River, Illinois in 1815 with his wife and her sister. Cathryn Isley was his wife and her sister was Elizabeth Ann Isley.
I have a letter that states he was in Sullivan county, Tennessee before going to Wood River.
He may have brother, Charles and Henry.
Might have served in the East Tennessee militia from Sullivan county.
