Almira Collins was born on December 25, 1813 in Connecticut, United States. Her parents were Alexander Collins and Elizabeth Watkinson. She married Theodore Dwight on November 23, 1842 Together they had 1 child Mason DwightShe died on September 04, 1846 in Tennessee, United States.

We need collaboration in finding cause of death? Her child apparently only child was almost 3 years old when she died. 

Is her brother really Samuel Watkinson Collins? founder of Collins Axe Company in Canton, Connecticut. See Wikipedia. A notable but does he have a wiki profile yet?

I think somehow Elizabeth (Collins) Palmer (1776 - 1841) is related to these Collins?

Almira is the granddaughter of General Augustus Collins (1743 - 1814)

Samuel Watkinson Collins was definitely her brother.

The Connecticut Church Records, State Library Index, Middletown First Congregational, 1668-1871, p. 140, lists the following:

Collins, Samuel Watkinson, s. Alexander & Elizabeth, bp. Oct. 8, 1805 "at home."

His profile is at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Collins-25121, but his parents and other relatives are not listed.

I was able to connect him and his brother David to their parental lineage. More siblings need to be added. Thank you yes
