John Collins Genealogy
Record modified: 2022-07-05
This is my ancestor 10 generations back.
Born: about 1628-00-00 Isle of Wight Co, Virginia USA
Died: 1693-01-16 Isle of Wight Co, Virginia USA
Marriages:
1. 1666-05-01 Eleanor Oliver
Children of John Collins and Eleanor Oliver:
Notes:
I'm guessing at that birth date based on the fact that he was granted land in 1650. If he was born much earlier he would be pretty old when he married Eleanor (assuming that's his first marriage).

married in Isle of Wight Co VA

A RootsWeb tree that no longer exists said that John and Eleanor had two children: John II who died before 1692, and Eleanor 1683 who married William DeLoach. Other entries show son Andrew, son Joseph 1653 (date must be wrong), daughter Mary, son John 1675
