COLLINS.
John Collins, M. D. (son of John and Lucy (Burdick Collins). Born February 10, 1804, died August 15, 1853.

On his paternal side he was of the seventh gener- ation, in a continuous line of succession of Johns from Henry, starchmaker, and Ann, his wife, who came in the ship " Abigail," with their three children and five servants, June 29, 1635, from Stepney Parish, London, England, and settled in Essex Street, Lynn, Essex Co., Mass.

ONONDAGA HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION
Henry Collins was possessed of property, was a man of influence and more than ordinary intelligence, and his name is often spoken of in connection with the early transactions of Essex County. He was at one time a member of the General Court; was one of the men in charge of the public lands, and his name on one or two occasions is spoken of as an advocate, employed in the defense of persons tried in Court for public offenses. By his wife, Ann, he had four children : Henry, John, Margery, and Joseph; the latter probably born on shipboard during the passage to America, as his name is not mentioned in the Custom House Clear- ance bill, or in public records of Essex County.
John Collins (son of Henry and Ann), was a ship owner, and was lost at sea with a son bearing his name. By his wife, Abigail Johnson, he had sixteen children, Mary, John, Samuel, Abigail, John, Joseph, Elizabeth, Benjamin, Mary, Daniel, Nathaniel, Hannah, Sarah, Lois, Alice and William, twelve of whom survived him. The name of the youngest, a young child still in the arms of the mother, was on the death of the father changed by her from William to John and afterwards was so called.
This John Collins, who was a Quaker, married Susanna Daggett and, probably on account of religious persecution, moved to Rhode Island, and with five others took up a tract of 3,000 acres of wild land, in what is now the northeastern part of the town of Hopkinton, Washington Co.
Of Susanna Daggett, who was born in Saco, Me., tradi- tion has handed down this story, which years ago found its way into print. When a small child, she was taken to the wigwam of an Indian Chief by his squaw, who found her lost in the woods. Late at night the Chief, returning home, told the squaw of a plan to exterminate the whites. She cautioned him, saying there was a little pale face sleeping in a bed of skins in the wigwam. The Chief then told her the child must die, to which she remonstrated, saying that she had promised to take her home in the morning. The Chief, passing a firebrand over the face of Susanna and observing no signs of consciousness, spared her life, and she was able afterwards to give her friends timely warning of the plans of the Indians. From John and Susanna are descended a large share of the numerous Collins families who have resided or originated in Washington Co., R. I.

SPAFFORD MORTUARY RECORDS WITH GENEALOGICAL NOTES
Their descendants have been scattered to all parts of the Northern States, and everywhere have been classed among the reputable men and women, in the communities in which they have resided. They have been represented in all pro- fessions and business pursuits, and notwithstanding the Quaker stock, in times of war have contributed generously of their numbers to the armies and navies of the United States. This John Collins, by his wife Susanna, had ten children : Rebecca, Hazekiah, Sarah, Jedediah, Lydia, John, Ebenezer, Benjamin, Samuel, and Abigail of whom:
John Collins, the great grandfather of the subject of this sketch, was a Quaker preacher of unusual talents, and great power and influence in the denomination to which he be- longed. According to the custom of this sect his remains and that of his wife, Mehitable Elizabeth Bowen, now repose in unmarked graves, in the "burial yard" near the little Quaker Church one mile west of the Village of Hopkinton, R. I. To John and Mehitable were born nine children, six in Hopkinton, and three of the youngest in the town of Ston- ington, Conn .: John, Susannah, Amos, Benjamin, Samuel, Sarah, Abigail, Stephen and Ruth.
John Collins, the first born of John and Mehitable, had a large family of children ; by his first wife, Mary, he had : Mary, John, Mehitable, Stephen, Samuel and Daniel. The last named :
John Collins, born at Hopkinton, R. I., April 18, 1771, moved to Brookfield, Madison Co., N. Y., before 1796, with a party of first settlers in that town, from Washington Co., R. I., and Stonington, Conn. After arriving in Brookfield he was united in marriage with Lucy Burdick, daughter of Thompson and (Tabitha (Wilcox) Burdick, another first settler from Stonington, Conn., and a Revolutionary soldier in the 1st Regt. of Continentals of the Rhode Island Line. Lucy Burdick, wife of John Collins, was of the fifth genera- tion by descent from Robert Burdick, one of the first settlers in the town of Westerly, R. I., and one of the first Deputies for that town in the General Court of Rhode Island. He came from England between 1633 and 1650, and prior to coming to Westerly, was a freeman in Newport, R. I. By his wife Lucy Burdick, John Collins had eleven children, all born in Brookfield, N. Y., as follows: Lucy, born August 30, 1798, died October 17, 1798; Polly, born October 20,
