You may want to re-attach parent [[Collins-1667| James (1688) to Collins-8726 Joseph/Marchbanks to maintain WIKI DNA links;. It appears that RAP’s original paper trail assumption was correct for Family Unit J1-J6. p.15-20;

(Ancestry Trees were not considered as viable resource =only books and viewable sources for Collins Clean up.) Unfortunately, many early Virginia records were destroyed during the Revolutionary and Civil Wars so it is difficult to locate birth, marriage and death records. As a result, no one can state with certainty who the Collins ancestors were of John Collin, unless a bible source or DNA used)

FYI Wiki Relationship finder = Tabitha and Tabitha are second cousins Tabitha (Collins) Hurt (abt.1746-bef.1798) and Tabitha (Collins) Prewitt (1753-1821) are both descendants of John Echols (abt.1650-1712). 1. Tabitha is the daughter of Elizabeth (Gillington) Collins (abt.1720-1822) [unknown confidence] 2. Elizabeth is the daughter of Mary (Echols) Gillington (1680-abt.1773) [unknown confidence] 3. Mary is the daughter of John Echols (abt.1650-1712) [unknown confidence] This makes John the great grandfather of Tabitha. 1. Tabitha is the daughter of Lucy (Marchbanks) Collins (abt.1720-abt.1796) [unknown confidence] 2. Lucy is the daughter of Ann Wadell (Echols) Marchbanks (1701-1749) [confident] 3. Ann is the daughter of John Echols (abt.1650-1712) [unknown confidence

(This makes Collins-3549 John/Odem the great grandfather of the (2Tabithas) And [[Collins-1667 James/Moore as Grandfather With his sons (J1-J6): = Brothers: Joseph (1718)/Marchbanks and James1712/Gillington [brothers to 4 Matthew Collins (1709}, Samuel Collins (1710) Stephen Collins (1714) and William Collins (1722)] Pending DNA Cross reference.

The The only DNA Comment I can locate is: “*Our Joseph Collins (and Lucy Marchbanks) was born ca 1718. He was the son of James born [ca 1688 vs 1690 (not Joseph Jr 1768 ...some fakes even have 1678) and son of John b ca 1641 (not 1741?) , son of Richard b1617 (this part is right)
