  • An abstract of Collier's will (on his profile) names "wife Sarah" and sons John, William and Nathan Barksdale; Lucy Barksdale and "daughter Allen" (apparently this is "Ally" mentioned in other sources, not a daughter who married an Allen). Also named are Collier's brothers "John and Hickson Barksdale"; witnesses were William Holt & Thomas Barksdale. No indication of Sarah's maiden name. Collier Barksdale's Charlotte County will, dated 1 July 1766, was proved "3 Oct 1774 & 7 Nov 1774"[5]
