HistoryEdit

17th CenturyEdit

Their fortune was founded by Isaac Collins in the 1690s, after he crossed the ocean to land in Maine (17). Isaac also established the Collins Fishing Fleet and Cannery.

18th CenturyEdit

Jeremiah Collins built a large mansion for the family called Collinwood atop Widows' Hill (2).

20th CenturyEdit

In the mid-twentieth century, Elizabeth Collins Stoddard controlled all of the family's financial holdings (1). By 1967, half of the jobs in Collinsport came out of the Collins Enterprises (26). In addition to the two businesses, the family also owned several houses and buildings in town (27).

The family banker in 1967 was John Harris (42).

Background Information and NotesEdit

  • Julia Collins was an alias used in 1840 by Julia Hoffman.
  • Chris Jennings as well as his twin brother Tom Jennings and their sister Amy Jennings were all descendants of Quentin Collins II and his wife Jenny through their daughter Lenore Collins.
  • It remains a theoretical possibility that Victoria Winters was in fact a member of the Collins family, possibly an illegitimate daughter of Elizabeth Collins Stoddard.
  • Various other members of the family exist in Parallel Time.
  • Barnabas Collins pretended to be his own descendant in 1840, 1897, 1967 and 1995.
  • In 1969 Quentin II did the same.
  • In 1840 Angelique pretended to be Valery Collins, wife to Barnabas. In 1968 she pretended to be Cassandra Blair and married Roger Collins.
  • Laura Collins was married to Jeremiah Collins in the 1780s, Edward Collins from the 1880s to 1897, and then to her grandson, Roger Collins from the 1950s to 1967.
  • Because of physical resemblances with Collins ancestors, it remains possible Willie Loomis, Sebastian Shaw and Jeb Hawkes were in some way related to Collins family members. In Parallel Time, this may also apply to Julia Hoffman.
  • At one point, because of being accidentally aged, Barnabas pretended to be his own father in 1967.
  • The Dan Ross novels deal with a completely different Collins family tree, that nevertheless have a few identical details. In the novels, the Collins family is actually much larger.
