Looking for any information on Willis Collins who died about 1854 in Marshall
Co. according to the Goodspeed History. Had son named Thomas who was born in
Georgia July 27, 1818.  He was an overseer in the latter State, and came to
Tennessee in 1826, where he became the possessor of nearly 1,000 acres of land.
He was a soldier under Jackson, and in politics was an old- line Whig. He died
in 1854. The mother lived to be about eighty-four years of age. (Goodspeed's
History of Marshall County, 1886)
Trying to determine if he had a son named Henry. Would like to locate a copy
of a will for him if anyone has the will index. Any help would be
appreciated!!! Julie Coley - WIchita Falls, TX
