12. | Elisha Madison Collins was born about 1800 in Tennessee; died on 9 Jan 1850 in Leon County, Texas. Notes:
The son of Nathaniel M. Collins and Susan Burroughs.
After the death of their parents, the children of Elisha and Eliza Ann (McGrew) Collins can be found in Robertson Co, TX with and near the family of James Tate McGrew.
THE SOUTHERN McGREWS GREW says that they moved to Texas in late 1834 and they got 3 land grants (1 league in Sabine County on 15 November 1835, 160 acres in Hood County on 15 February 1837, and 320 acres in Sabine County on 15 December 1837) for services Elisha rendered from 12 November 1835 to 7 January 1836 in the Texas Army. He was captain of a company of volunteers in 1836 and was said to be a currier and tanner by trade. They were in Leon County, TX for the 1850 census and Eliza was head of household because he had died of dropsy on 9 January 1850---shortly before this census, in the home of their daughter Elizabeth.
Wynema McGrew's book cites these same facts, crediting Allye Moody as the source. The Patent number for the Hood County land was shown to be Patent 581, Vol. 15.
Ancestry.com shows that Eisha M. Collins was on the 1836 Texas Territory Census, in the District of Sabine. The Database they cite is "TX Tax List Index, 1830-1839." Elisha M. Collins is also shown on the Ancestry.com database of US Federal Census Mortality Schedules Index for Leon County, listed as Age 38, Male, Born in Kentucky, and dying in January of Dropsey. The ID # in MRT197_63297.

A Wright Coley was in Major Lillington's Detachment, North Carolina Militia, serving as a Private during the War of 1812 (Roll Box 43, M602). Direct Data Capture, comp. U.S., War of 1812 Service Records, 1812-1815 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations Inc, 1999.
Original data: National Archives and Records Administration. Index to the Compiled Military Service Records for the Volunteer Soldiers Who Served During the War of 1812. Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration. M602, 234 rolls.
There are also Alabama land records for a Wright Coley, as follows

Canceled Document No
Issue Date 2 Jul 1826

The age and location are a good fit, but it is not certain the records above are for the Wright Coley who moved to Texas ca 1835. Further research should be done.
Ancestry.com also lists numerous Texas Land Title Abstracts relating to Wright Coley, though based on the dates they were likely related to his son, or some other Wright Coley.
