Nancy's Parents were Thomas and Mary Dunn Drake of South Carolina. Little is known about her parents and relatives. Children of William and Nancy John Smith (1799—1864) Mary (1801—1883) Nancy (1810—after 1850) William Franklin (1812—1893) James B. (1815—1867) Nancy Drake Collins and William came to Indiana with their five children, each of whom was married here, the three boys each having five boys to carry on the name Collins. *Rev. Victor Stoner, FAG # 113990961, a great, great grandson, refers in his writings to Grandmother Nancy Cannaday Collins; however, further information tends to indicate that her parents were named Drake. Her gravestone simply says Nancy Collins. Family lore is that Nancy talked about her "Uncle Billy Drake" who rode with Paul Revere to warn the Minute Men that the British were coming..
