Collett / Collins
I am attempting to see if there is a connection between a Richard Collette (with or without the "e" )and an Albert Collins . Richard was from Richford Vt. and served in company "D" of the 1st Vermont Heavy Artillery(CW) . Albert Collins was listed as from Wolcott Vt. and was also in company "D" . My g-g-g grand father is Albert Collins who first shows up in the 1860 census in Altona NY . Research shows his real surname was Collettand all his children claim he was born in Vermont . Any help would be appreciated .
