Dottie, I am not sure if they connect or not, do you have any information on your George Washington Collins...My George was born abt. 1831 in Floyd Co. Ky and married 1854 in Johnson Co. Ky. I would think my Goroge stayed in Ky, but I am not 100% sure, someone sent me and email once with what possibly could be George's family and if it was then his father was from Indiana but I don't have any further info. on his family..If you would like to email me directly you may do so, and we can switch information....Thanks for your reply...Diane Collins
