Facts and Events
Reason to believe that "Collins" is NOT her surname: "There is an English will written by Elizabeth, wife of Richard Lee, an abstract of which is given in the General Register for 1896 (vol. 50), page 529, which mentions the wife of Thomas King, in New England, as Ann. This will was written after the death in 1642 of Thomas' first wife, Ann. (Sudbury VRs, p. 314) Therefore, it is possible to assume that Thomas might have had a second wife, also named Ann, before his marriage to Bridget Davis in 1655. If so, this Ann was Ann Collins before her marriage." [source: Gerald J. Rice ] [Comment: it was also written (22 Mar 1660) after the marriage to Bridget Davis, so need not necessarily imply a second wife Ann, since it was written on the opposite side of the Atlantic and obviously out of touch with Thomas King no matter which wife it was. Further it does not indicate the relation of Ann King to the testator, only that Elizabeth's maiden name was Collins.] [based on Torrey] CSERVE: Clunies 1/2/95. Father may be John COLLINS of Cambridge, Watertown, Sudbury References
