| Felix (Collins) Lewis migrated to New England during the Puritan Great Migration (1621-1640). Join: Puritan Great Migration Project Discuss: pgm |
Disambiguation: The Felix Collins who married William Lewis and moved with him and their only son to Massachussetts in 1632 is well documented. See William Lewis for additional documentation. She is not the Felix Collins who married a Henry or Harvey Tarver in Stepney, London, in 1621. While that marriage is documented, it is not the same Felix Collins.

Biography
Falicia/Felix Collins/Collyns
Uncertain Origins
In Great Migration Begins, Anderson gives her name as Felix ______.[1] However, in Beekman Patent, Doherty gives her name as Felix Collins. Doherty tells us that his information is taken from the "exhaustive study of this family" from 2001 by Charles H. Lewis of Falls Village, CT.[2]
If we agree with Doherty and Lewis, then Felix Collins was born ca 1596[citation needed] at Wales. She was a daughter of Walter Collyns and Felicia Bondrib.[citation needed]
Note: Falicia (Alcott) Lewis appears to also represent Falicia/Felix. These profiles will be merged when/if her surname can be documented, (or merged into a profile called Falicia/Felix (Unknown) Lewis).
Family
Felix married 7 February 1618 in Wales to William Lewis, of Landough, Wales.[2] They emigrated from London on the Lyon in 1632 to Cambridge, Massachusetts, with their son, twelve-years-old at the time.[2]

Felix Lewis's father Walter Collins, makes a gift of land to his son-in-law, William Lewys of Standstead, Essex, England in a Deed of Property dated that year in Essex, England:
- Land record naming Walter Collins, William Lewys, and John Talcott ** "...Walter Collins now of Stanstead, Essex conveys to my son-in-law William Lewys of St. Mesuage, etc, now in the occupation of John Talcott late of Braintree."<ref> 3 May 1624 - One Bassett family in America, with all connections in America and many in Great Britain and France, by Buell Burdett Bassette. Springfield, Mass., Printed by the F.A. Bassette Company, c1926. link to digital image 1624, May 3, P5 Lewis Family (Mrs Barnes): By deed, Walter Collins, late of Cardiff, Glamorganshire, Wales now of Stanstead, Essex conveys "to my son-in-law, William Lewys of St. Mesuage... now in the occupation of John Talcott, late of Braintree, etc." - This deed was recorded in the last year of King James I, the first of the Stewarts - weak, obstinate, conceited, the 1st proclaimer in England the Devine Right of Kings. Cardiff, where Walter Collind was probably born and brought up, was a very ancient town, and an important on under British, Romans and Normans in succession. Cardiff Castle was built in the 11th century and must have been a continued object of interest to Walter, even though they were in ruins, which now, however, have been restored by the Marquis de Bute who owned practicaly the whole of the modern city of 200,000 population.</ref><ref>3 May 1624 - Lewis with Collateral Lines...&c by Barnes, Harriet Southworth Lewis Publication date 1910, privately published link to digital image Essex County (England) deed of 3 May 1624 wherein Walter Collins, late of Cardiff, Glamorganshire, Wales (the father of Felix Collins) reads as follows: "...now of Stanstead, Essex conveys to my son-in-law William Lewys of S. Messuage, etc, now in the occupation of John Talcolt late of Braintree...&c". </ref>
Note: - "Lewys of St." means Lewys of Stanstead - - "Mesuage" means a dwelling-house with the adjacent buildings and curtilage, including garden and orchard, appropriated to the use of the household; a manor-house and its appendages. - "John & Dorothy Talcott are is listed in the Lyon's 1632 passenger list w their children Mary & John. Also on this manifest are William & Felix Lewis and their son Wm. It is difficult not to see these Talcotts and Lewises are the same mentioned in the deed of land in Stanstead. An interesting bit of their lives in Essex, England prior to emigrating to the New World.
