THE A.E. HART BOOK THE "RICHARD CALLOWAY FAMILY" IN SPEAKING OF JOHNCOLLIER OF 1742 WHO WAS MARRIED TO GRIZZELDA TAYLOR, SAID THAT JOHN OF1742'S FATHER WAS A JOHN COLLIER A PROSPEROUS PLANTER. THAT WOULD HAVEBEEN JOHN COLLIER OF 1707. IT SAYS THAT JOHN OF 1707 HAD MANY SONS ANDDAUGHTERS, ONE OF WHICH WAS A WILLIAM (THIS WOULD BE WILLIAM OF 1754)MOVED TO TENNESSEE AND WAS LOST TO ALL KNOWLEDGE OF THE KINDRED. THISIS THE ONLY INDICATION OF WHO WAS WILLIAM OF 1754'S FATHER I HAVE FOUND.HOWEVER IT IS BORN OUT BY THE SEVERAL INDICATORS. FIRST THEQUESTION OF WHY WOULD JOHN OF 1707'S WILL NOT INCLUDE THIS CHILDWILLIAM IF HE WAS IN FACT A CHILD. THE REASON WAS THAT JOHN OF 1707'SWILL WAS DRAWN IN 1746 BEFORE WILLIAM OF 1754 WAS BORN, AS WAS THECASE OF ANOTHER DOCUMENTED CHILD OF JOHN OF 1707---MARY....WHO THEVIRGINIA COUSINS BOOK SAYS WAS BORN IN 1756. NOTE THAT THIS JOHN OF 1707DIED IN 1759.
