Does anyone have info on Rachel Dorsett, wife of Joseph Collins?
I need info on their son John Collins who married Elizabeth Herbert 4 Nov. 1767 and lived in Monmouth County, NJ. Children were John, Joseph, Rachel, Polly and Patty. More specifically, I need proof that Rachel was a daughter of John and Elizabeth.

I suggest going on familysearch.org
I saw Rachel Dorsett on the census records, and there are also
Collins in Monmouth County, NJ.
Best wishes in your research.
Here's part of the following I found in here Joseph Collins
SEX: M
BIRTH: 1775 PLACE: Chanceville, New Monmouth, NJ
DEATH: 20 Oct 1836 PLACE: Middletown, Monmouth Co-New Jersey
BURIAL: Oct 1836
PARENTS:
John Collins Elizabeth Herbert
SPOUSE(S): MARRIAGE DATE PLACE
Hannah Herbert 2 Nov 1800 Harmony, Monmouth Co., NJ
NOTES:
will dated 27 Oct 1836, proved 28 Nov. 1836; Roll X, Monmouth deaths;
1830-40 Monmouth Middletown census; Herbert family records; Green Grove
notes; In 1830, they had: F 1800-10, M 1810-15, 2F 1815-20, M 1820-25, F
1825-30; In 1840, they had: F 1810-20, M 1820-25, M 1825-30, F 1825-30, F
1835-40 birth year ranges from 1770-1780, but stone reads 1775-1836;
J.A.B.'s tombstone says d. 20 Oct 1836(?) in 62nd yr., but per will dates,
he prob. d. Nov. 1836 d. at Harmony or Middletown
Thanks --- I have this info already found under the Green Grove Cemetery listings. Really need something on dau. Rachel. I know she married Obadiah Stillwell, but I need proof she is dau. of John Collins. Am trying to establish him as a Rev. War Patriot and my descendancy is thru Rachel.
