LEWIS COLLINS, farmer, P. O. Rutland, is a native of Jessamine County, Kentucky, where he was born Oct. 16,
1826, near Keene on Sinking Creek; his grandfather, John Collins, was born in Orange County, Virginia, and in
the company with Mr. Allen, the maternal grandfather of our subject, was in the battle of Bunker's Hill, where
both were wounded; he was also at the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, having served through the entire
war, he often related to his family the joke that a darkey passed on the noted English commander at the time of
surrender. Upon being told that Cornwallis had surrendered, he replied: "He no more Cornwallis, Massa; he cobwallis
now". After the Revolutionary war he came to Kentucky, passing over the Alleghenies, and continuing his
journey down the Ohio River in a flat boat; he landed at May's Lick; came through to central Kentucky; their
party camped at the Lower Blue Licks two or three days after at that place, which decided the fate of so many of
the Kentucky brave Pioneers. He and his son William were detailed as a guard at this place while the others slept;
they passed through Lexington when it consisted of only a few log cabins, and settled on South Elkhorn in Fayette
County; he leased 200 acres of land from Col. Bowman, and was offered a title to it for a wagon and team, but
refused; he worked it during his lifetime, and had it in good condition, but his lease expiring with his life, his
family could reap no benifit from his lobor; he died in Fayette County in the sixty-sixth year of his age, and was
