Published Collier, etc. Genealogies
I have previously posted this material on the Collier Family Genealogy Forum, but have been advised it might be of use and interest to others with similar or variant names.I am descended from Thomas Collier, who came to Hingham, Mass. in 1635, and that family is the center of my work. I have some material on other families, and will be happy to help others in their research.

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.
