Comments: I am searching for the following family: Will Collins, d. 1848-1850 m. Maca Cunningham d/o William Cunningham and Rachel Ann Elizabeth Countiss, both from MD. Issue: Mary Collins b. abt 1848 in the area now Wise, but may have been Russell then, and who was a partner of her sister Rachel's husband, Abraham Musick;Rachel Collins b. Jan. 01, 1844; Charles Collins b. abt 1848;Christopher Collins b. abt 1850 and prob. others. Births for these were taken from the 1850 Johnson Co., KY census. I believe that Will was prob. of Melungeon descent. But the Cunninghams and Countiss families go back to MD. My descent goes thru Mary Collins and Abraham Musick. ANY help on this line would be very much appreciated. Nancy S nmorri3924@aol.com
