  1. 2.  Thankful Collins was born 27 Aug 1700, Warwick, Kent Co., RI (son of Thomas Collins and Abigail House); died Between Feb and Sep 1757, Warwick, Kent Co., RI.

    The will of Thankful Collins of Warwick, yeoman, is dated 14 Feb 1757 and was proved 12 Sep 1757. It mentions his son Thomas; and daughters Elizabeth Remington, Sarah Collins, & Lydia Collins.

    There is a notation in James N. Arnold's VRs concerning three of the children of Thankful -- Elizabeth, Sarah, & Thomas -- concerning a birth (or baptism?) at Narragansett on 12 May 1740.

    Thankful married Sarah Gorton 19 May 1728, Warwick, Kent Co., RI. Sarah (daughter of Samuel Gorton and Elizabeth Collins) was born Abt 1703, Warwick, Kent Co., RI; died 19 Nov 1732, Warwick, Kent Co., RI. [Group Sheet]

    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."

  2. 9.  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.
