There are at least four Collins family lines in Mitchell County.

Your Jesse B. Collins (daughter of Andrew and Allie Collins) would be the granddaughter of Bryant and Josephine Collins, and the great-granddaughter of Alfred Collins (b. 1799 NC), who married Priscilla Moss in 1857 in Pulaski County, GA. Alfred moved his family to Mitchell County between 1860 and 1870.

Alfred (according to some researchers) is a brother to Bryant Collins (b. 1794, Tar River, NC) who moved to Mitchell County by 1860 where he died in 1862.

Your Jesse B. Collins first appears in the 1900 Census of Mitchell County with her parents. Her name is usually transcribed as "Japer Balle" but perhaps that "p" is really an old-style double-s. She is listed as 7 months old, born Oct., 1899.

I will e-mail you more info on the family line.
