RESEARCH NOTE: Original research is recommended to determine accurate information about this family. Ancestry World Tree entry states that: "Joseph Collins deposed in the case of Edward Richard's estate in Lynn, March 24, 1689, giving his age as 'about fourty & Seaven yeares.' This would make his birth fall in the year 1642 or 1643." This information is contrary to the birth date of 6 Jun 1664 that is often given for Joseph Collins. Also, there are two different sets of parents that are often listed for Jospeh Collins: Henry Collins and Ann; or just Joseph Collins with no mother listed.
