Not really my guy either, Beverly, thanks. Looks like taking a break
really helps. I'm sure I found another wife for my Wm.B., just don't
know the name. Found him on the 1830 census for Bedford Co., along with
his probably future father-in-law William H. Benton. Lots of Collins'
there too, most likely from Franklin Co. NC as well. Just shores up
some of my less confirmed suspicions.
