The Coller line presented here goes back to Thomas Coller who was born in New Jersey (1765 - 1839). Research suggests his father was Thomas Turner Coller who descended from undertermined ancestors leading back to England. I do not include Thomas Turner Coller and his possible ancestors because I have found no supporting documentation that he existed.

The longest Coller ancestor line goes back to George Boone and his wife, Ann Fallace. George and Alice are also ancestors of Daniel Boone, the pioneer and frontiersman. Daniel would be my second cousin seven times removed. I have no reason to doubt the path to George and Alice, but additional verification would give the data a higher confidence level.

Another person of interest is David Leary. During the Civil War David was a Confederate soldier, spent time in a Union prison camp, and became a Union soldier. He joined the Confederate army in his birth state of Virginia (not West Virginia), and at the end of his service, was mustered out of the Union army in Ohio.

This site also contains the ancestors of Pamela Nixon Coller. On her mother's side, surname Richmond, Pam's lineage goes back to the Mayflower and Pilgrim Thomas Rogers. Pam is Thomas Rogers 11th great granddaughter. This lineage was researched by Pam's mother, Marian Richmond Nixon Burr, and verified by the Mayflower Society.

Thomas left England due to religious persecution and settled in Leiden, Holland with others who were facing the same threats. He was among those who left to start a new life in the new world aboard the Mayflower. In 1620 they ended their journey in Massachussetts, where they established the Plymouth Colony.

There have been many contributors, some living while many others have passed. Their help in providing this information is greatly appreciated.
