I am researching the COLLINS Family line and related lines.
The Elijah William Wilson (maybe Silas, as this is what the family called him)Collins b: ca 1820 Ohio md:1842 Rebecca Emmerson in Ripley Co, In. They were in Warrick Co., IN in 1850 & 1860. They were in Pike Co., IN in 1870 & 1880. The BUCKNERS AND COLLINS were in Vanderburg Co. in th 1840's as this is where JAMES MARION COLLINS and MARY BUCKNER were born. Some of the family went to Birthright, Texas and then up to Polk Co, AR and settled near Van Buren, Washington Co. Ar.
Please contact me at russtann@yahoo.com if you know of any these surnames. I have additional information.
Thanks.
