• Notes

  Cyprian Collins 1733-1809 http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~byrne/ancestors/pafg08.htm Cyprian Collins was born on 4 Mar 1733 in Litchfield, Connecticut. He died on 7 Jan 1809 in Goshen, Connecticut. He married Abigail (Azubah) Gibbs on 9 Jan 1756. He settled on farm in Goshen, Connecticut. The History of Goshen mentions him as as a Revolutionary soldier "with three cattlemen conveyed baggage of soldiers from Goshen to Albany as Lieutenant was sent from Goshen to Ticonderoga with colthing" I.W. Brooks in membership application #227 Society Sons of American Revolution state that; "Cyprian Collins of Goshen was volunteer serving under General Gates at the surrender of Burgoyne in 1777." This family of 11 children all married and Cyprian and wife were blessed with 98 grandchildren. Abigail (Azubah) Gibbs was born on 13 Dec 1734 in Litchfield, Connecticut. She died on 24 Aug 1823. Goshen CT Centennial speech - 9/28/1838 "...At the South end of East street, we come to the place of Cyprian Collins, the fourth son of Rev. Timothy Collins, of Litchfield. "In the spring of this year. Rev. Mr. Collins purchased land at that place, and some time afterwards, sent his son Cyprian to clear the land, and build upon it, with the ^promise of a future deed. The first house of Cyprian Collins stood on the West side of the road, near the horse shed of Capt. Timothy Collins. His second house was the one now owmed and occupied by Capt. Timothy Collins. "This Cyprian Collins had a numerous family (11 children and 98 grandchildren), and was the ancestor of all who bear the name of Collins in this town. He had eleven children, Ambrose, Triphena, Amanda, Philo, Anna, Luranda, / ^ Rhoda, Cyprian, Phebe, and Tyrannus ; and all these lived to become heads of numerous families, "Cyprian CoUins was a frugal and an industrious man, and a firm patriot in the Revolution. In the early period of his life, he owned the covenant, as it was called, and brought his children to baptism, and was always a regular attendant on divine worship. And here it may not be inappropriate to remark, for the benefit of the rising generation, that the practice of receiving persons of moral life into a half-way relation to the church, had obtained extensively in New-England at that day. The applicant for this relation was required to profess his belief in the fundamental principles of the Gospel, promise to lead a sober life, and to train up his household in the things of religion. If he would do this, he might bring his children to baptism, and yet not consider himself a member of the Church, or come to the communion table, and not even consider himself a regenerate person. "This will explain what we have further to say of Mr.Cyprian Collins. Notwithstanding he had owned the covenant, had his children baptized, and ever been a regular attendant on the instituted means of grace, yet in old age, his attention was powerfully arrested to the spiritual concerns of his soul: he realized that he was a great sinner, cast himself upon the mercy of the Saviour, and, as we trust, obtained eternal life. At the age of seventy-five years, he made a public profession of religion, and to the close of his life, gave pleasing evidence, that he was indeed a child of God...."
