This page has a Richard Collins born 1695 VA marrying in 1720 a Mary Mullins born 1700; Richard being son of Thomas Collins b 1671 d 1748-02-07 K&Q Co VA and Elizabeth (unk) b 1670. (Thomas' will dated 1748-01-03) They don't give any children for Richard. The Collins line continues up to John Collins b 1659 Kent England.
My original source (Sledge) had that Richard and Mary as the parents of Amy Collins. I think that's wrong because the dates are too far back. (We might tie into that Collins line somewhere further back, though.)
--
Another RootsWeb page had Richard Collins son of Thomas Collins b 1687 d 1752 Spottsylvania Co VA and Elizabeth. Thomas is son of Joseph Collins b 1676 (Essex Co VA?) d 1748-05-03 VA, and Catherine Robertson/Robinson. Joseph is son of John Collins b c1655 Carolina VA and Catherine Robertson b c1651 (obviously something wrong there). John is son of William Collins b c1612 and Ann (widow of Thomas Wilds).
Unfortunately, DNA shows that this Richard Collins is not related to the Thomas Collins who died in 1752.
--
Ancestry.com's ThruLines suggests his parents were Thomas Collins and Elizabeth Barbee.

Another page that no longer exists had children of Richard Collins and Mary Madison:
Sarah, born Caroline Co Va + Pleasant Haley;
Tillisha + John Hankins, March 18, 1792, Charlotte Co Va;
Nancy + George Mullins 15 Dec 1797 Charlotte Co Va;
Elizabeth Collins + Joseph Haily, Feb 7, 1785;
Catherine Collins + William Hamlett, Jun 16 1785, Charlotte CoVa;
Thomas Collins died abt 1844. Mar. Catharine Loggins 25 Nov 1807, Charlotte Co Va; d/o Martin Loggins.

Another researcher sends:
Daughter Elizabeth who married Joseph Hailey/Haley had two children:
Royal 1786-12-07
Elizabeth
Royal married Mary White.
Elizabeth died soon after she was married and her husband married a Mary Mullins.
--
Another researcher sends:
It appears William Collins who married Nancy Williams was another son of this Richard.
[Nancy being a sister of Mastin Williams, who married this Richard's daughter Amelia.]
