"Henry Colllins lived in Marshall County until he died, but he apparently did travel, at least once, back to North Carolina. Following the 1838 death of his father, James Collins, Henry -- and perhaps his brother Holland -- returned to Franklin County, North Carolina, to deal with the settlement of their father's estate. There are essentially two pieces of evidence strongly suggesting that this took place: the fact that most of the other Collins kin in Marshall County gave Henry their power of attorney in settlement of their father's affairs, and the fact that Henry (and Holland) purchases slaves when their father's slaves were sold off.
The power of attorney appears in both the Tennessee and the North Carolina records.(128) Henry also served as "Attorney in fact" for the guardian of Durham's children, and he and G. W. Collins also represented those of Durham's children who were already of age in the settlement of James Collins' estate.(129)"
