Supplement to the above. 1958 Another file or catalog number applying to all the above is CS71.C7. Note: there are other items written by Colliers, but these are the main genealogies listed. From another source -- Colliers frm Surrey Co Virginia by Paul A Arnot. pub 1988 Now out of print. ISBN CS 71 .C69/1989 I believe another genealogy on Collier families of North Carolina and Kentucky is offered by a gentleman who has postings on the Collier Lineages homepage. The only one of the items above that promises to be helpful to me in my work on the Massachusetts South Shore families, descended from Thomas Collier of Hingham, 1635 is "Collier Family of Cohasset, Mass.," listed above. I have not located it yet. It is not available in South Shore libraries, and I have not visited the NEHGS yet.
