Daniel Collins was a member of the prestigious Collins family from the 18th century. As an adult, Daniel would have been a contemporary of Charles Collins, Angelique Collins, Gabriel Collins, and Laura Collins. Whether Daniel lived at Collinwood at the same time as these relatives has never been revealed. Almost no further information is known about him. In June of 1970, young David Collins dressed up as his ancestor when he attended a costume ball at the family estate known as Collinwood.
