Isaac Collins was the founder of the Collins fortune in Maine. He started the family fishing fleet as well as the town of Collinsport (3). Isaac crossed the ocean in a small sailing ship in 1690, with his wife Annabella Collins and infant son, and landed in Frenchman's Bay in Maine. He eventually found a small harbor nearby and started building what would become the town of Collinsport (17). Carolyn Stoddard thought her uncle Roger looked like Isaac (3). A portrait of Isaac hung in the Collinwood drawing room in 1967 (3).
