About Rev. War Vet Cornelius Collins

The COLLINS family were originally French Huguenots, drifting from France to Scotland, then to Ireland, from there they emigrated to this country in 1640, locating in York County, PA. I am not sure if the place of birth is accurate, or if they are descendants from the emigrants that came in 1640. I think Cornelius was in York County, PA first, then relocating to Lancaster Co., Pa. in 1756 after purchasing a farm. Was a brother to William. May have other siblings, and not sure yet of parents. (I know some of the descendants of this branch of Collins's wound up in Wilkinsburg, PA.)
