• Notes

  Att the end of the 1700's there were two James Collinsworth's in Nashville. The older married Jane (Jennie) Brown and the younger James was the son of Edmund/Edmund and became a lawyer and went to Texas, fighting for independence. Historical documentation indicates that this James never married. Some sources indicate that the James who married Jeannie Brown died in Wilkinson, TN and not Nashville. Some genealogists have reported this James who married Jennie Brown as the James who was President of the Republic of Texas. "The Tennessee Collinsworths" by Katherine W. Ewing of Nashville reports that James Collinsworth, the President of the Republic, is presumed the brother of William and John and the 2 brother of Edmund Collinsworth, born in 1760, of the Cockrill line."
