It says that Robert Collins, who married Hester or Ester Fowler, is Benjamin Collins' is his father (does not say whether she is the mother (probably not likely since they did not get married until 1658). It also asserts that Benjamin was born in Ipswich, Mass, but has no date. Is this a reliable source?
The source that lists John, above, is a GEDCOM import with no citations. Just wondering if we have something to go on that might give us a good lead as to who Benjamin's father is and where he was really born??
