Current Talk '03 II / Re:Maggie Collins, as seen by Grandma Moses
« on: July 30, 2003, 10:23:06 PM »Sorry....if there was a village there in the 16th century, it's name would have been Abanaki Indian dialect for something like "Watch-out-for-high-cliffs-everywhere!"....NOT 'Collinsport'.
I'm sorry, but recent acheological excavations below Widows' Hill have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that as far back as prehistoric times the Collins family has lived there and it has always been called Collinsport. They also uncovered the fact that silver was in use there centuries before it was discovered in the rest of the world, and discovered a bunch of pointy wooden carvings for which they have no explanation as of yet.
