county missouri since learning that s l collins family lived in amazonia andrew county missouri i have been looking to more precisely learn when they were there a couple of marriages performed by s l in 1868 have provided that confirmation andrew county missouri marriages thomas mason to jennie halliday 17 october 1868 james t thompson to clarissa ann roberts 5 july 1868 these are the only two s l marriages i have found so far but they put the family in andrew county from about july to october and likely longer we know that s l purchased the dade county mo property in 1869 i do not know yet precisely where linnie was born in july 1867 we also know that christopher married in daviess county in dec 1868 but s l may not have been living there at that time and he did not perform the marriage ceremony more to find posted by nevadagenealogist at 11 03 pm 27 january 2010 stephen l collins as a methodist minister the wayne county ohio library website has a listing of early ministers who performed marriages in wayne county s l collins is listed as a methodist preacher no date with the notation under township location as fm i don t know what the fm means i do think he was an itinerant circuit preacher from another source i have that s l collins was a methodist preacher in fred s circuit in wayne county oh in the 1840s he married mary marie helfer in wayne county in 1840 the ceremony was performed by george w howe who was a methodist minister in wayne co in 1840 the american baptist year book 1870 has the following listed as an ordained minister collins s l amazonia missouri note amazonia is a small town in andrew county missouri north of st joseph s l collins does not appear in the 1868 baptist year book we know that by about 1847 he was a baptist minister posted by nevadagenealogist at 1 27 pm 25 january 2010 s l collins baptist home missions in the civil war letter written by stephen l collins he mentions that he is a missionary baptist preacher googling led me to books re the baptist home missions in north america and the american baptist home missionary society a few listings for s l have been found as follows in ohio and missouri rocky river association church at seville medina co oh 6 baptisms 77 members note this is where christopher royce collins was born 11 may 1847 i previously thought it was leesville i was wrong rocky river association church at westfield medina co oh 29 members zoar association church at steubenville jefferson co oh 30 members s l was the minister at this church from may of 1851 to about apr 1852 in a history of the baptists in missouri a state convention of baptists was held in sept 1865 rev s l collins is listed as being on the executive board of missions this would mean that the collins family moved from nebraska sometime after the birth of john tim collins in june of 1864 and before the missouri baptist convention in sept 1865 from the missouri baptist general association 50th annual session in marshall mo oct 21st 1884 s l collins is listed as a minister from greenfield mo posted by nevadagenealogist at 11 38 pm 15 january 2010 collins 1820 census jefferson co ny speculation has gotten me into trouble before but here are the collins families in jefferson county ny 1820 without more evidence we won t know which if any of these are related to stephen l collins high on my list will be checking for will probate records also i have not yet determined if any of these 5 were born in vermont only three of these households had a male under the age of 10 years if s l was born after the census official date for the enumeration was august 7th 1820 then he would not have been counted most records indicate that s l was born before that date most likely in may here are all 5
