The Collins lived in the County of Kent in a town named Maidstone. It was located astride the River Medley in south eastern England about 38 miles from London. At the time of the Domesday Book (1086 survey of England by William I), Maidstone belonged to the Archbishop of Canterbury and was the residence of the Norman Archbishops until the Reformation. It was noted for its salt production, eel fishing, and flour milling. Assizes (periodic courts held to administer civil and criminal law) were held in Maidstone since the 13th century. They were abolished by the Courts Act in 1971.
