The Collier Family of Surry Co VA

The lineage posted on this site is based on information gathered from documents, books,census records,and family
files collected by several descendants of John Collier and Mary Sowerby of Surry County, Virginia. I cannot guarantee that all of it is 100% correct. I will be adding data periodically, as I have more information not yet entered into my data. I would like to hear from other descendants who would like to add to this data or who have documentation to correct any errors or fill in the
gaps.
The photo at right is of me with my grandfather, Jack Collier,in 1956.
