Collier

Most recently updated: 

Sarah Collier was married to William Barksdale 1675-1771, and Mary Elizabeth Collier was married to his great-grandfather William Barksdale 1551-1628.

I expect these two lineages to converge when I'm able to learn enough about each of their ancestries, so for now I am keeping them together.
