Sarah is mentioned as his daughter Sarah Ruttenborge in her father's will dated 7 Mar 1725/6.

2. Thomas Collins was born 26 Oct 1664, Warwick, Kent Co., RI (son of Eliezar Collins, Sr. and Sarah Wright); died 9 Mar 1725/26, Warwick, Kent Co., RI. Notes:
The will of Thomas Collins of Warwick, RI, is dated 7 Mar 1725/6, and it was proved 18 Mar 1725/6. The will mentions his wife Mary: sons Elizur, William (dec'd), Thomas, Samuell (under age), & Thankful; and daughters Sarah Ruttenborge, Ann Collins, & Abigail Collins (under 18).
I have made an assumption that the Thomas Collins who married Abigail, Anna, & Mary is the son of Elizur & Sarah whose birth is in the Warwick records: "Collins Thomas, of Lieut. Ellyza and Sarah, Oct. 26, 1664."Thomas married Abigail House 17 Feb 1691/92, Warwick, Kent Co., RI. Abigail was born Abt 1670; died Between 1700 and 1706. [Group Sheet]

4. Eliezar Collins, Sr. was born 1622, England; died 29 Sep 1683, Warwick, Kent Co., RI. Eliezar married Sarah Wright Abt 1662. Sarah was born Abt 1637; died Aft 7 Jan 1684/85. [Group Sheet]
5. Sarah Wright was born Abt 1637; died Aft 7 Jan 1684/85. Notes:
RI Genealogical Register, Vol. 19, p. 293 gives Sarah's maiden name as Wright, and says she was born c1626. However, I believe this year is ony a guess; therefore, I have adjusted the estimate a bit based on their first child being born in 1664. I do not know whether they had any other children born prior to Thomas.
