When comparison with the known birthdates, the 1860 census appears to have been
taken between 27 Feb 1862 and 7 Apr 1862.
He might be the son of Samuel C. Haines and Malinda Pulliam of Allen Co., KY
(they m. 21 July 1824 in Allen Co. [IGI Bath 8504603], and Samuel b. 8 Nov 1797
[IGI Batch 0170630]). (Note: IGI Batch F512941 may have a lead on a possible
birth record if this theory is correct.)
A second theory (not entire consistent with his reported birthplace) is that
he was the son of the John W. Hains & Elizabeth Moore who m. in Jefferson Co.,
IL, on 16 Jan 1831. (Perhaps his son Wesley is named after his father?)
This Marriage Record is found in the Illinois State Marriage Index. Then there
is a marriage record (ibid) for a John W. Haines and Sarah G. Heart, 10 Nov
1857 in Sangamon Co., IL.

!Death: Truro VR:42 (p. 109 of transcription): "on the 24th Day of march 1765
Mr Jonathan Collings of Truro Dyed in Truro Recorded by B : paine Town clerk"
!Birth:Eastham & Orleans Vital Records p.13, Mayf.Des.3:230.
He and his wife (Susanna) were admitted to the Church in Truro on 13 Sept 1724
(Mayf. Des.9:77).
!Marriage (Elisabeth Vickerie): Eastham and Orleans Vital Records p.70a,
reprinted in Mayf.Des.7:238 (1905).

!Marriage (Susanna Walker): Eastham and Orleans Vital Recors p.9,
Mayf.Des.15:57.
!Birth-Marriage(Vickery): Freeman's History of Cape Cod, p.1:374.
It is clear that he had a wife before Susanna Walker. The adult baptism of his
sons James and Gamaliel appear in the Truro church records, and we can place
their dates of birth to be at least 6 years before his marriage to Susanna, and
he appears at that later time in those records with wife Susanna.
!WILL: Dated 12 Dec 1743 and proved 23 April 1765, mentions wife Susanna; son
Gamaliel; grandsons Jonathan and James (both under 21, sons of Gamaliel);
grandson Gamaliel Jr.; sons Andrew (executor) and Joseph (executor); daus.

Also, the following marriage record exists in Truro VR:35:
"1766 march 20th Joseph Collings Junior and Deborah Newcomb, Both of Truro were
married by B : Paine Jus : peace"
(Noted just to prevent one from accidentally confusing these two Josephs).
The birth of his children is listed in Mayf.Des.3:230.
!Marriage:Eastham & Orleans Vital Records p.13, Mayf.Des.3:229.
!Death: Mayf.Des.Vol.?, pg.54 (Eastham and Orleans, Mass. VR, p.3). Month was
omitted. Said "Joseph Collins Senior Dyed the 18th 1723/4".
[Freeman 1:374] reports that he was probably the son of Henry "starch-maker"
who came over with wife and children, including Joseph age 3, embarking on June
17, 1635. [Henry is RIN 11528] (Probably incorrect)
However, the genealogical dictionary of New England disagrees, and puts Joseph
of Lynn as the son of Henry of Lynn.
Another theory is that he was the son of John Collins (1603/4-1675) & Ann
Awdrye, from Stepney, London, Eng. who m. 1634 [IGI] & came to Salem MA in the
1640s. This theory is put forth in a query in [Cape Cod Gen. Soc Bulletin, Vol.
XIX(3) Sept 1993, p.63] by William G. Cooper, 102 Valley View Dr., Erwin TN
