Looking for COLLINS descendants

Looking for descendants of the Collins family who homesteaded land in Marshall County circa 1850's & 60's.My great-great grandfather was John Collins and he had several siblings and his father who also homesteaded land there at the same time.They were originally from Anson/Union County, North Carolina and John died in Marshall County in November of 1863.
Please, if you are researching Collinses in Marshall County, I would enjoy corresponding with you.This family is hard to trace!
