An American Family History

Henry Collins

Settlers from Salem purchased land in an area known as Saugus from the Indians. This land originally included the towns of Swampscott, Nahant, Saugus and Lynnfield. In 1630 the land was incorporated as the Town of Saugus. The settlers changed the name to Lynn in 1637 in honor of their first official minister, Samuel Whiting, from King’s Lynn, England.

Henry Collins was born on November 23, 1673 in Lynn, Essex County, Massachusetts. His parents were Joseph and Sarah Collins. He was probably named for his father’s father.

He died May 1, 1735.
Lady Day Before 1752 the year began on March 25th. Dates between January 1st and March 24th were at the end of the year, not the beginning.
