His father, also named Samuel, was born in Bonavista. I have not as yet been able to locate this Samuel's birth or baptismal record to find out who his parents were, but there were Collinses in Bonavista in the 1790s so likely he is connected to these.

I tried to tell them we're related to the newport, new harbour, gambo collins crowd, but that seems to be lost info to them.<br /><br />NickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263747734256834407.post-24453578496614786062015-02-10T22:03:03.982-05:002015-02-10T22:03:03.982-05:00Marilyn

I'm also a Newfoundland Collins, although I'm not from the Bonavista people.<br /><br />Do you know where Samuel Collins came from? Was he one of the early Collinses in Bonavista Bay?<br /><br />I'm doing a Newfoundland Collins surname study and so far have included people from Notre Dame Bay, Spaniard's Bay, Harbour Grace, Burin Peninsula, Placentia Bay, and Placentia in it. <br /><br />Would love to have your take on the Bonavista Collins families.<br /><br />MarilynMarilynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263747734256834407.post-83749868023415492692014-03-14T02:41:09.897-04:002014-03-14T02:41:09.897-04:00I don't think it is incest.

They were good and god fearing people and that is something we may never see again.
