She lkely died before 1880. There is a lesser possibility she may have married at age 17 or younger and left the home and an even smaller possibility she was the only sibling missed by the Census taker. Need research.

Frank Harrington, age 20 is listed with Celia A Collins in the 1880 Census in the Albert Turner household. This may be Frank Collins.

From 1722 to 1731, Cornelius & John Berry (children of Elizabeth) were often recorded tithes of Abraham Collins

The unknown...
What was Elizabeth's maiden name? Who were her parents?
What happened to Elizabeth Berry Collins? When did Abraham marry Ann?
As the Northampton records from 1719 to 1745 are abstracted and published, we may find out.

[Not for Commercial Use. Sources and citations provided upon request.]
Marriage1718Abraham Collins; Northampton County, Virginia, The marriage almost certainly to the younger Abraham Collins (1701-1768) since Elizabeth Berry was a young widow with 3 young sons.

The known...
Per her grandson, William Faulkner, she also had a son named Alan Steve Collins by another marriage.

The unknown...
She was married to James Faulkner by the time of the 1930 Census and Alan Steve Collins was not listed. So it is unlikely that Alan was born out of wedlock before 1930. She may have a second marriage to a man named Collins. Or maybe she adopted a son of one of her three brothers. What happened to her husband James after 1931?

I can not find Augusta, Linwood, or Nellie after 1880. Linwood and Nellie are most likely the children of Augusta. Other possibilities are they are the children of her sister Eliza or Mary. The other siblings would be too young to have a child born in 1871. Needs research. What happed to Linwood after 1880?

The known...

The unknown...
Elizabeth A Collins and Kathleen Collins could be the daughters of Clayton, Gilbert, Ralph, or Lester Collins. I placed them as the children of Gilbert Collins for now because he was married 7 years prior. The other brothers would have had to be married and then widowed before 1930 for any of them to be the likely father. Elizabeth, and Kathleen were living 4 houses away with their grandfather Harry Collins. Parker Todd provided the birth and death dates as well as the marriage information. The birth and death dates are assumed to be from a gravestone.

I can not find a Howard or a George of a similar age that would match this one in the 1910, 1920, or 1930 Census. He most likely died before 1910. Another possibly is the Census taker got his name wrong in 1900 (not Howard?) or the 1910-1930 Census records for George or Howard Collins have a lot of descrepancies with ages and/or birthplaces.
