This source is a document I am familiar with, it is a table following a male Collier ancestral line to Levi Collier (Collier-1200), researched by one of his sons Edward Lintoch Collier (Collier-1241). The document was distributed amongst descendants of Levi Collier by Neil Binnie in 1987. This document is not a primary source, and it does not cite primary sources for the information it contains and therefore is not certain proof of lineage. My attempts over the years to locate evidence to support connections stated within the document have not been successful thus far.

“COLLIER, JEREMY (1650–1726), nonjuror, son of Jeremy Collier, was born at Stow Qui, or Quire, in Cambridgeshire, on 23 Sept. 1650. His father was a divine and considerable linguist, and some time master of the free school at Ipswich in the county of Suffolk. … His mother was Elizabeth Smith of Qui in Cambridgeshire, where her family were possessed of a considerable interest. … He was educated under his father at Ipswich, from whence he was sent to Cambridge, and admitted a poor scholar of Caius College, under the tuition of Mr. John Ellys. His admission bears date 10 April 1669, in the eighteenth year of his age. He took the degree of B.A. in 1672-3, and that of M.A. in 1676, being ordained deacon on 24 Sept. of the same year by Dr. Peter Gunning, bishop of Ely, and priest on 24 Feb. 1677 by Dr. Henry Compton, bishop of London. Having entered into priest's orders he officiated for some time at the Countess Dowager of Dorset's, at Knowle in Kent, from whence he removed to a small rectory at Ampton, near St. Edmund's Bury in Suffolk, to which he was presented by James Calthorpe, esq., and instituted … 25 Sept. 1679. After he had held this benefice six years, he resigned it, and came to reside in London, in 1685, and was some little time after made lecturer at Gray's Inn. But the Revolution coming on the public exercise of his function became impracticable' (thus far, from the Biographia Britannica, was, except some dates, drawn up by Collier himself)…”
I have not sighted Hunt’s source the Biographia Britannica, i., ii. 1407 in which Hunt states Rev Jeremy Collier drew up the information including the names his parents. However, combined with the unreliability of ‘The Chronological Table of the Family of Collier’ and a lack of evidence supporting the connection between Rev Jeremy Collier (Collier-3202) and Arthur John Collyer (Collyer-653) this presents the possibility of Jeremy Collier and Elizabeth Smith of Qui, Cambridgeshire as being Rev Jeremy Collier’s (Collier-3202) parents. Until his parents can be proven his origin remains unknown.
