John Collins was married two times, his first wife being Elizabeth Seawright (1805-1834). John and Elizabeth had three children, William Franklin M.D. (Doc), Margaret Rebecca and Dunn. After Elizabeth died circa 1834 and John emigrated from near Donalds, South Carolina to Indiana with his motherless children, he met Clarissa Evans, daughter of his friend James Evans, who had just come from the adjoining state of Tennessee.
