Notes on Benjamin Collins
GENEALOGICAL AND FAMILY HISTORY OF THE STATE OF NEW
HAMPSHIRE
Compiled Under the Editorial Supervision of EZRA S. STEARNS
VOL. IV
COLLINS
This family has contributed
pioneers and valuable citizens to New Hampshire and is now amiably represented
in many sections of the United States by men in the learned professions,
in business circles, and all the various activities of modern life.
Since it was first planted in Massachusetts many marvelous changes have
occurred in the methods of conducting business, and men's ideas and controlling
influences have been greatly modified. It is easy to conceive that,
when the patriarch of the family settled in Salisbury, Massachusetts, the
luxuries enjoyed by the people there were few and their methods of progress
were extremely primitive as compared with those of today.
(I) Benjamin Collins, who
was possibly a brother of Robert Collins, is found of record in Salisbury,
Massachusetts, November 5, 1668, when he was married to Martha Eaton, daughter
of John and Martha (Snowlandson) Eaton, and granddaughter of John Eaton,
the pioneer of Salisbury and Haverhill. She was born August 12, 1648,
in Salisbury. Benjamin Collins was a householder of Salisbury in
1677, and died there December 10, 1683. The inventory of his estate
was made January 3, following, and administration was had on March 25.
His widow was married November 4, 1686, in Salisbury to Philip, son of
Stephen Flanders. Benjamin Collins' children were: Mary, John, Samuel,
Anna, Benjamin and Ephraim.
