    Notes for EMANUEL COLLINS:

    Washington County, North Carolina lore indicates that Emanuel Collins was hung. This has not been documented by any official source. The legend is that Emanuel was hung because he was cutting wood on someone elses land. It is believed that Emanuel's brother John was hung at the same time.

    Notes for PERMELIA COLLINS:

    Nellie Patrick's letter to Nancy Collins stated that the name of he daughter Permelia is questionable. This is supported by the NC Census reports. Other spellings found are Permeola, Penelope, Pumelia and Permelle.

    Some family members said that Joe Collins referred to his sister as Penelope. Nellie Patrick's letter indicated that Permelia(?) died sometime after her brother, "John Bill". Permelia is not listed as an entitled heir of John W. or Emanuel Collins. She was living at the time of the 1880 Census. The 1870 census lists Permeola, age 8 living at home.

    Notes for ALICE COLLINS:

    Alice Collins Davis Phelps died at age 60. The informant was LH./L.W.Davenport of Creswell, NC. The Death Certificate does not indicate whether her husband is living. Her parents are listed as Emanuel Collins, born in Washington County, NC and Harriet Jethro, born in Washington County, NC.

    Interestingly, the Death Certificate is signed by Dr. Dissoway of Plymouth, NC. Dr. Dissoway died as a result of a gunshot wound inflicted by Alice's nephew, Ralph Collins. The ensuing trial verdict was that Ralph Collins shot Dr. Dissoway in self defense.

    The 1885 Estate Records of both John Collins and Emanuel Collins list Alice as an entitled heir. Joseph W. Davis and wife Alice R. Davis sold property to Arnet A. Biggs on January 7, 1886. The property is identified in the deed as being "known as the Emanuel Collins land". The deed further states "Collins land...Alice came into possession of by kinship from her father the said Emanuel Collins, he leaving 8 children and the said Alice R. Davis being the owner if one eighth part of the said undivided tract of land lying in the county of Washington, state of North Carolina....". The land was sold for $25.00. There is no specification of acreage.

  • 6. MARY ELLEN3 COLLINS (EMANUEL2, WILLIAM1)54,55 was born April 10, 186656, and died June 06, 1902. She married CHARLES M. SPRUILL April 17, 1889 in Home of M.B. Spruill Washington County, NC. He was born August 186657.

    Notes for MARY ELLEN COLLINS:

    In 1900, Mary Ellen Collins Spruill had given birth to 5 children. The 1900 US Census indicated that she had 5 children and 4 were living. The names were difficult to decipher. I believe Fleetie's name was spelled "Cleda" by the census enumerator. Many names were misspelled in census records. The birth date given for that child coincides with Fleetie's records from Beaver Hill Cemetery.
