James Collins came to
Virginia in early 1664 and received a land patent
for 400 acres in Nancimond County, Virginia, 11 March 1664 (Nugent,
p.195). James Collins had paid the way for John Bennet, Richard Harris,
Nathaniel Gordon, Daniel Mackneal, and four others. Boddie's Historical
Southern Families volume II p.103 related the arrival of Henry Gay and
family from Kent and Devon, receiving 300 acres on 8 February 1663, on
the west branch of the Nansemond River. On 22 April 1669, Henry Gay
obtained a grant from Governor Sir William Berkely in the "Upper Parish
of nansemond - adjacent to the lands of James Collins."
The Collins
property in Virginia was very close to the North Carolina line, and
descendants of James acquired additional land in North Carolina. James
himself seems to have crossed into Perquimans County, North Carolina,
where his will was probated on 19 May 1730, with his son William as
executor of his estate along with James' second wife Lucee. His will
also mentions a daughter named Alie Collins, however, in the will of
his wife Lucee, she is mentioned as a daughter-in-law as well as
William listed as son-in-law. Lucee died about the same time, as her
will was also probated on 19 May 1730. A son, Thomas, was born by the
second wife.
