I (Marty Grant) don't know how (or if) I'm related to Rose Collins. She may be related to my ancestor Jonah Collins (c1774).
Rose Collins appears to be a widow, but I don't know who her husband was, though I have a suspect. More on that later.
Rose was born ca 1833/34 (per 1860 census) in North Carolina (per 1860 census). I don't know her maiden name, nor her parents names.
Rose apparently married a Mr. Collins before ca 1856, presumably in Marion District, South Carolina. I don't know for sure, but I have a suspicion that her husband was William Collins (c1834) son of Solomon Collins (c1814). I have a couple of reasons for believing this, both highly circumstantial. First of all, widow Rose was listed on the 1860 census next door to Jane, widow of Solomon Collins. That suggests she was closely connected to them. They did have a son William with them in 1850, who was not found in 1860, so presumably dead or moved away. If he had married Rose, and died before 1860, that would explain some things. Rose's youngest child was named "William". This doesn't prove anything, but is worth noting.
Rose was listed on the 1860 census in Marion District, next door to Jane, widow of Solomon Collins (c1814), and also next door to Samuel Collins (c1830).

Rose, nor her children, were found in 1870 in Marion. She may have moved away, or perhaps remarried, and her children were with her, but mistakenly listed under their step-father's surname (a common census error). I didn't find any of them in 1880 either.
Rose and Mr. Collins had 3 children by the time of the 1860 census. Nothing else is known of them.
