Searching for info on William Collins and Catherine Gibson family. [Archive]

Hi! I am hoping someone might be able to help me with some family information.

My great grandmother was Margaret Collins. She married 1st Henry Lucas 2nd Amos Stratton.
My grandfather said that Margaret (his mother) was Blackfoot Indian. She died when I was 8, but I remember her so vividly. She was such a small little lady, long dark black hair and dark skin. A very beautiful lady.

What I am wanting to know is information on her parents William Collins and Catherine Gibson from Wise County Virginia. This is as far as I can get on this lineage. My grandfather is 79 and when I find out new things, I try to relay them to him. His father died when he was 3 in 1931 and his mother died in 1978, so we are lost on trying to find the correct information.

Thanks!
