I am including that URL in this posting but my Appalachian Creek Family History is still there( my personal site) The Appalachian Quarterly article has been uploaded for all to read. It includes many of the mixed blood Collins and their descendants. The article is listed on the site as "One More Mountain to Cross". Thanks to Rhonda Robinson of A/Q we will be adding more of the articles after the first of the year. Take care and hope everybody has a safe and enjoyable holiday.

I am doing genealogy research on my great grandmother Martha Elizabeth Willis who was said to be 1/2 Indian born in Missouri Feb 1877. (per Census) Mrd age 14 to Wm Saner in Macon Missouri. Parents deceased, gardianship under Wm Saners' father Jacob Saner. I have absolutley no Idea how to go abt researching her history. Her parents were said to be a man named Willis from Ireland and a full Native American he called Celeste. Am I at a dead end here? Any help would be appriciated. Cheryl From: Idaho Web Site: Stokes & Saner connection E-mail: postalmom@worldnet.att.net Brenda Collins Dillon Tuesday, 6/19/01, 12:53 PM I was sent the URL of your site. I am very impressed. You are doing a great job of getting information out to our people. I am still searching for "my truth" tho I know that a paper trail may never be found. I have searched for the parents of "Meridia" Meredith Collins for over 30 years and Eula Collins Conley 50 years before me. My question to you is who was Chief Mahennip? You say that he was at the "burning of 1728" but I can find no mention of him. On my website I have a NA link. On the front of the NA page, click on NA TIMELINE . Many should find this interesting.
