(Note by W. R. Collier:
This appears to be the last year for which a yearly return was filed
on the estate of Vines Collier. In 1817, Isaac Collier made a return
on 400 acres and 8 slaves in Oglethorpe County. Sarah Elizabeth (Williamson)
Collier also known as “Salley” witnessed the will of John Hardeman on February
1, 1804). It is my thinking that Sarah Elizabeth Williamson Collier,
wife of Vines, died between January 1, 1811 and December 31, 1811.
Had she been deceased before January 1, 1811, the estate would have reverted
to the legatees and no return would have been necessary for the estate
in 1812. Had she been deceased after December 31, 1811, a yearly
return on the estate for 1812 would have been required and such a return
does not exist in the records. I am going with my conclusion pending
some better information.)
