      My Collins line goes like this:

      James Marion Collins, son of James S. Collins and Hariett Gunter, was b. 30
      Jul 1899 Pilot Mtn Township, Surry Co., NC and d. 16 Jan 1960, Ararat,
      Surry Co., NC. He m. Mary Etta Lankford b. 1901 Stokes Co., NC d. 1978
      Westfield NC. They had 8 children, most still living.

      James S. Collins, son of Jeremiah Collins and Martha Bullins, was b. Oct
      1885, Peters Creek, Stokes Co., NC and d. 2 Feb 1948 Surry Co., NC. He m.
      20 Mar 1886 Stokes Co., NC to Hariett Gunter, dau of Housen Gunter and

      1920 Surry Co., NC. The had 7 children: James Marion, Jesse, Mary Ann,
      Ernest, Marion, Lilla, and Cable.

      Jeremiah Collins, son of George Anthony Collins and Nancy Lawson, was b.

      Stokes Co., NC to Martha Bullins dau of James and Fanny (unknown maiden
      name) Bullins. Martha ws b. abt 1822 Stokes Co., NC and d. aft 1910.
      Jeremiah and Martha had 10 Children: William Beauregane, Mary Ann, James
      Sanford, Rufus, Moses F., Sarah Jane, George Washington, Thomas, Mittie
      Johnson, and Jettie C..

      George Anthony Collins, son of Jeremiah Collins and Heather Unknown, was b.
      1795 Stokes Co., NC and m. in 1818 Stokes Co NC to Nancy Lawson, (parents
      unknown at this point). George and Nancy had at least one child, Jeremiah.
      There may be more,,I just havent gotten that far yet.

      Jeremiah Collins, son of Thomas C. Collins and Susan Wyatt, was b. 1759
      Albemarle Co., VA. He d. 1806 Stokes Co., NC.

      Thomas C. Collins, son of Anthony Collins and Jane Lancelot, was b. abt 1724
      Albemarle Co., VA and d. abt 1791 Albemarle Co., VA. He m. Susannah Wyatt,
      (parents unknown) and had 8 children: Thomas, William, Roger, Jeremiah, ****** John??

      4 Jan 1677/78, Anthony Parish , Cornwall, England. He m. 1723 in VA to Jane
      Lanacelot (parents unknown). Jane was b. between 1680 and 1690 most likely
      in VA and d. abt 1774. Anthony Collins and Jane had 6 children: Thomas, ***** last three??
      Winifred, Elizabeth, John, William, and Jeremiah.

      Possibly at this time, the name was spelled Collings. It is how it appears
      in information on them in England. I can go a little further back,,,if
      anyone needs it, let me know. Thanks,,,,,Brenda
