Name: Mary COLLINS

Birth: ABT 1710 in King & Queen Co., VA
Death: 15 JAN 1766 in Orange Co., VA Burial: "Greenway", Orange Co., VA

Note:

1. A question certainly does exist about the name of Samuel's wife. First, we are quite sure that her given name was Mary. But, what about her family name? It has been seen as: Mason, Munday, Madison, Henderson and Collins. She has been described as having been an aunt to her daughter- in-law, the Mary Collins who married John Brockman. If this is so, then she could have been a daughter of Catherine (Robinson) Collins. (Orange County Virginia Families IV:18).

"After talking with Don Page this weekend, and reviewing the heirs of Joseph Collins, Sr., of Virginia, I have again concluded--as the late Kenneth and Mary Brockman of "Greenway" told me 30 years ago--the wife of the first Samuel Brockman in America (son of the immigrant Henry Brockman) was Mary Collins, an aunt of the Mary Collins who married her son, John Brockman."

Mary Collins, daughter of Capt. Joseph Collins, was born in Virginia.[1]

The following information was gathered in 2014 by Fred Prisley from Brockman family genealogist Paul R. Brockman's postings on GenForum:[2]

About 1680-1685 -- Mary Collins was most likely born in that part of New Kent County, Virginia which would become King and Queen County in 1691.

One source has this Mary Collins as the daughter of Joseph Collins and Catherine Robertson (or Robinson). [3]

Mary Collins and Samuell Brockman were married[1] about 1710 at probably Drysdale parish, in the part of King and Queen County that would become Caroline County, Virginia in 1727. Though the date and place of the marriage of Mary Collins Brockman and Samuell Brockman is not on any surviving record, [4] the disposition of their estates leaves no doubt that Mary was the mother of all eight of Samuel's children:

Susannah (1711-1750) - m. James Haley
Sarah (14 Nov 1714-after 1796) - m. John Henderson
Elizabeth (1715-1793) - m. Anthony Street
John (about 1715-about 1796) - m. Mary Collins II, d. 1755
Samuel II (1717-1790) - m1. Mary Woolfolk, m2. Rebecca Graves
Mary (1718-1774) - m. Richard Hunt Singleton
William (1718-1809) - m. Elizabeth Mason
Rachel (1729-?) - m. ____ Rogers
Susannah is the only child not mentioned in her father’s will, possibly because she, like her brother John, died before 1762 when Samuel wrote his will; and probably because she had no heirs, unlike John who died leaving 11 children.

1732 -- Samuell and Mary Collins Brockman bought land that is now called Greenway in Monrovia, Orange County, Virginia from their son-in-law John Henderson.

1734 -- Samuell and Mary Collins Brockman moved to what is now called Greenway, in Monrovia, Orange County, Virginia, the same year Orange County was created from Spotsylvania County.

15 Jan 1766 -- Mary Collins Brockman died at her home Greenway, Monrovia, Orange County, Virginia.

Research Notes
Note from Find A Grave Memorial: "There is a document from about 1730 which names Mary Brockman, wife of Samuel as a daughter of Joseph Collins, Sr. of Caroline Co. The male line of the family resident at "Greenway" since Samuel and Mary bought the place from John and Sarah in 1732 and moved there in 1734--up until the death of Kenneth C. Brockman on Dec. 7, 1971, passed the information on this relationship, father to son, for over 200 years.

Note: There is no record of a daughter named "Eleanor," or a daughter named "Betty E;" though it is possible "Betty" was a nickname for Elizabeth.
Is the son Joseph, (1743-1834) identified in the basic information, but not in the biography, not really a son of their couple? Or did they have a son Joseph died young without heirs? Did Mary Collins name a son for her father? The Joseph shown married and had children. Should that Joseph be removed as one of their children? If Mary was born as early as 1680, the Joseph listed cannot be her son, born when she was age 63. Although 1695 would be a possibility for her birth, she still would have been pretty old to have a child in 1743, with her age at 48.
