Notes for Isaac Thomas LONGSTRETH
Isaac Collins born 1746, died 1817, was the son of Charles Collins, who came from Bristol, England, about 1700, and lived in New Castle County, Delaware. Isaac Collins went to Burlington, N. J., where, in 1771, he married Rachel Budd, daughter of Thomas and Rebecca Budd. He became a printer and was appointed printer to King George III. for the Province of New Jersey. After the revolt of the Colonies, he printed much of the Continental money issued by the Congress. From his printing office came also in 1790 the first quarto Bible printed in America; in this undertaking he received wide encouragement, not only from Friends, but also from churches and clergymen in the adjacent States. Such care was spent upon this work, both in the execution and in the proof-reading, that it is said to be the most correct edition printed, the only imperfections being a broken letter, and a mark of punctuation.
