I am looking for information on my Grandfather Samuel Joseph Collins who lived and died in the area around Colon, NE. He had traveled to NE from Troy VT area we believe around 1860 to 1870. His father James Collins (born 1800 in County Cork Ireland) may have traveled with him but we have not located any letters or other references. Reference from probated wills and military papers from time spent in the Vermont Volunteers during civil war are some of the documents we have located. My father George Edward Collins was born in the Colon area in 1882. The Collins family interests extended to Holt County Nebraska where I was born in 1942. The Collins family was very involved in the early days (turn of the century) of Holt County in starting some of the first banks, helping establish churches, and building many of the homes in the small towns in Holt county plus establishing some of the first surveys and road system in Holt County. There was reference in some papers to a distant cousin or niece that had lived on the old S. J. Collins land in the Colon area but I think she has since died. I would appreciate any information or reference to a source where I might be able to go for county records, newspaper articles and etc.
