1635 Laura Murdoch is born. 1667 Laura Murdoch dies. She is reborn as the Phoenix for the first time. 1668 Miranda DuVal is born. She will one day be reincarnated as the witch Angelique. (Date assumed based on actor’s age.) 1687 Spencer Stockbridge is born. 1690 Isaac Collins sails from England to Frenchman’s Bay in Maine. The original Collinwood is erected. It will become the main family manor for many years. In 1796, the Collins family will abandon Collinwood in favor of a larger mansion. This building will then become known as the Old House. Dreams of the Dark B, C 1692 The warlock Judah Zachery establishes a coven in the port of Bedford. He boasts the Mask of Ba’al as the source of his immortal powers. 1131 A Miranda DuVal becomes a follower of Judah Zachery. 1140 A Beford villager Andrew Bronson discovers Judah Zachery’s cult and threatens to go to the authorities. Judah uses his powers to burn the Bronson home to the ground with the entire family trapped inside. 1140 A November 5th: Judah Zachery is apprehended and placed on trial for witchcraft in the port of Bedford. Amadeus Collins presides over the trial. One of Judah’s own coven members, Miranda DuVal testifies against him and informs the judiciary council that only decapitation would serve to end Judah’s reign of terror. Judah places a death curse upon those who convicted him. Judah’s head is put on display in the town square. Note: Miranda will later be reincarnated as Angelique. 1131, 1140 A 1692-1693 As part of Judah Zachery’s curse upon those who convicted him, Amadeus Collins dies very suddenly. His own children die soon after. Note: The exact of this event is unknown, but Judah’s curse upon the Collins’ family appears to cease shortly after this, likely due to the fact that Judah’s head is recovered and taken to the Far East. 1131 A 1698 Isaac Collins establishes the town of Collinsport Maine and builds the Collins’ fishing fleet. 1713 Agthorn Stockbridge is born. 1730 Richard Fairbanks is born. 1731 Agthorn Stockbridge is trampled by a stallion and dies. 1735 Laura Murdoch dies (Age 68). The Phoenix is reborn and becomes known as Laura Murdock Stockbridge. 1739 Naomi Collins is born. This birth date challenges that which is supplied at the Collins family Mausoleum. (Date assumed based on actor’s age.) Note: See Naomi’s entry in 1761 for more information. Date is considered speculative and may be refuted at a later time. F 1750 Abigail Collins is born. (Date assumed based on actor’s age.) F Joshua Collins is born. As difficult as it may be to accept, we are meant to believe that he gave birth to his son Barnabas when he was barely even thirteen years old. By comparing this to the age of Joan Bennet at the time she played Naomi, she would have been at age 24 at the time of Barnabas’ birth. Now while I can accept that Joshua may have been very young, I cannot accept that Naomi at 24 would have married and sired children with a 13 year old. Joshua’s birth date is supplied via his plaque inside the Collins family mausoleum. No other viable inferences can be made other than to accept this as the locked birth date for Joshua. Actors Jonathan Frid and Louis Edmonds are too close in actual age in order to draw any kind of further comparison. A 1752 Natalie DuPres is born. (Date assumed based on the relative age of actress Grayson Hall.) F 1756 Ben Stokes is born. 1761 Historical data lists the year 1761 as the birth year of Naomi Collins. The date is supplied by her plaque within the Collins family mausoleum. Since there is no way she could have given birth to Barnabas Collins if born in this year, it must be assumed that the dates listed in the mausoleum were culled from faulty records. BF 1763 Jeremiah Collins is born. Possible birth date of Barnabas Collins. It has been mentioned that Barnabas is only slightly younger than his uncle Jeremiah. Note: This date is speculative. F 1767 Laura Murdoch Stockbridge dies. She will be reborn as the Phoenix. 1770 January 18th: Peter Bradford is born. Richard Fairbanks dies. Another possible birth date for Barnabas Collins. While this date makes it a bit easier to accept him as the son of Joshua and Naomi, we are now saddled with the belief that Barnabas’ immortal form is locked into the body of a twenty-five year old. It is nearly impossible to regard Jonathan Frid as a twenty-five year old by any standards. Date is speculative pending further clarification. F 1772 Millicent Collins is born. (Date assumed based on the relative age of actress Nancy Barrett at the time of filming) F 1774 Josette DuPres is born. Angelique Bouchard is born. Note: There is some discrepancy concerning the continuity of Angelique’s life. She is clearly shown to have existed as the witch Miranda DuVal in the year 1692. But comments made by Josette DuPres in 1795 reveal that they grew up together. This anomaly can be explained in one of two ways. A) Anqelique bewitched the entire DuPres family into believing that Angelique had always been present. B) Angelique is the reincarnation of Miranda DuVal and Miranda’s mystical nature allowed for her memories to transcend into the new form of Angelique. If the reincarnation theory is to be believed, then there exists the possibility that the Bouchard family are descendents of the DuVals. This could help to explain why Angelique has the memories of Miranda. It is important to emphasize that if one is to subscribe to the reincarnation theory that it must be distinguished from a mystical rebirth. Angelique is reborn several times throughout the Dark Shadows timeline, but always as an adult. This is the incarnation where her childhood is referenced. Angelique’s birth date is supplied by actress Lara Parker. 1131Angelique’s Descent ABC 1775 Millicent Collins is born. Dreams of the Dark BC 1780 Spencer Stockbridge is murdered in his sleep. 1784 Sarah Collins is born. Flora Collins is born. (Date assumed based on the relative age of actress Joan Bennett at the time of filming.) F Jeremiah Collins and Laura Murdoch are married. Note: Date is speculative. It is possible that the two were married earlier than 1784, but given the young ages of each (21 and 18), an earlier marriage date is not extremely likely. 1785 January 25th: Laura Murdoch Collins dies a young bride at the age of eighteen. She will be reborn as the Phoenix. Daniel Collins is born. (Date assumed based on the relative age of actor David Henesy at the time of filming. The date works in so far as Daniel will be 55 years old circa 1840, which plays well with Louis Edmonds’ apparent age at the time that he portrays the adult Daniel.) F 1790 Theodore Collins and his wife die. Their children Millicent and Daniel are orphaned. 1792 Barnabas Collins travels to the French Island of Martinique to expand the Collins business interests. While there, he meets Josette DuPres and her mistress Angelique Bouchard. Barnabas falls passionately in love with Josette, but also entertains a dalliance with Angelique; an affair that will haunt Barnabas the rest of his life. Angelique will never give up her obsession to make Barnabas hers. Note: Date is locked by the fact that Barnabas states that Josette was eighteen years old when he first met her. 239 A 1795 Construction begins on the new Collinwood. 367 A August: Barnabas sees Josette for the last time before she travels to Collinwood. 369 A November 20th: The carriage carrying governess Phyllis Whick is overturns. Miss Whick is pushed forward through time to the year 1967 while Victoria Winters is pushed backwards through time to this year. She arrives at the Old House in a daze and meets Barnabas, Sarah, and Naomi Collins. 366 A November 21st: Abigail Collins accuses Vickie of being possessed by the devil. Jeremiah Collins comes to Vickie’s defense. 367 A November 21st: After a terse interview, Joshua Collins hires Vickie as the new governess for Sarah Collins. 367 A November 22nd: Countess DuPres and her maidservant Angelique arrive at Collinwood a few days before Josette. The countess grows uncomfortable when she meets Vickie. 368-369 A November (Late): Angelique tries to re-ignite the passions that Barnabas and she once shared on Martinique. But Barnabas rejects her advances. 369 A November (Late): Josette DuPres arrives at Collinwood 369 A November (Late): Angelique decides to torment Barnabas’ by casting a spell upon one of his old toy soldiers. Barnabas falls to the floor unable to breathe. 369 A Some may erroneously believe that this is the birth year of Barnabas Collins. This information is supplied by several narratives on the MPI home video collection of Dark Shadows. The age was given to reflect his birth as a vampire without including his time spent as a human. C Laura Stockbridge Collins is resurrected. 1796 The remains of Angelique are buried beneath an oak tree far to the south end of Eagle Hill cemetery. However, a stone marker with a statue of an angel is erected in the center of the cemetery to commemorate her. Her body is buried separately so no could exhume her corpse in hopes of reviving her. Dreams of the DarkAngelique’s Descent CC 1797 A special note regarding the year 1797. Several times throughout the 1840 flashback, it is stated that the primary events from Victoria Winters’ time traveling experiences took place in the year 1797. This is obviously in error since it has been firmly established in canon that Vickie traveled back to the year 1795, not 1797. Most of the known events from that era take place in late 1795 through early 1796. It can be assumed that the characters from 1840 who made such references were calling to mind poor data or incorrect memories. A Peter Bradford is sentenced to hang for the murder of Jeb Hawkes. (Peter pushed him off of a cliff for the murder of his wife Victoria Winters Bradford) 1801 B Pendleton Stockbridge is born. 1803 October 3rd: Otis Greene is put on trial.

These tunnels create a network that extend all the way to Collinwood. Their purpose is to conceal ammunition and supplies, some of which were left over from the Revolutionary War. Dreams of the Dark B, C 1813 Edith Collins is born. Dreams of the Dark BC 1815 January 1st: Joanna Mills is born. 1817 B Pendleton Stockbridge drowns at sea. 1818 Daphne Mills is born. She will one day assume the alias of Daphne Harridge 1136 A 1821 Collinsport records state this as the year that Naomi Collins died. The records were written erroneously however since she actually died in the year 1796. It was likely just a clerical error since record keeping was not entirely accurate in the 18th century. B Some believe that this is the year that Barnabas Collins died in England. Note: This event of course never happened. This was a fabrication made up by Julia Hoffman. 1133 A 1824 Quentin Collins marries Samantha Drew. 1825 Carrie Stokes is born. Thomas Rathburn is born. One day, he will become a vampire whose power can rival even that of Barnabas Collins. He will also become a pawn of Angelique.

Note: It is possible that Jamison may have been born as late as 1886. Jamison’s gravestone from the novel Dreams of the Dark reads 1886-1946.

His daughter Ada is adopted by the Collins family. BQ&DJS C Gabriel Collins dies. Note: This event probably takes place in the original timeline prior to Barnabas and Julia’s trip to the year 1840. Due to their intervention, the timeline is altered so that Gabriel Collins dies late in the year 1840. BQDJS C 1894 Lenore Filmore is born. 1896 Edward Collins and his wife Laura leave Collinsport. 728 A Laura Murdock Collins dies in Alexandria Egypt. She will be reborn as the Phoenix. 1897 Using a Chinese mystic ritual known as the I-Ching, Barnabas Collins of the year 1969 sends his conciousness back in time into his own body in the year 1897. The gypsy Magda Rokosi and her husband Sandor see an image of the mausoleum in Magda’s crystal ball. Sandor goes to the mausoleum and inadvertently frees the vampire Barnabas. Note: Even though the Barnabas of 1969 is now human, he has imprinted his essence onto his body at a point in time when he was still a vampire. 701 A On her deathbed, the aging Edith Collins intends on revealing the family secret to her eldest son Edward. Though no one at this time, realizes that the family secret is the truth about Barnabas Collins. 701 A Quentin Collins (II) returns to Collinwood after several years abroad.

Edith refuses despite Quentin’s threats. 703-704 A Rachel Drummond arrives at Collinwood as the new governess 705 A Edith Collins passes away. She never gets the chance to reveal the family secret to Edward. 706 A Family members begin to grow suspicious about reported sightings coming from the tower room. Quentin becomes angrily defensive regarding it, claiming that nothing is occurring there. 707 A Determined to alter Edith Collins’ will, Quentin sends his nephew Jamison to steal the will from Edith’s coffin. Barnabas discovers Quentin’s plot to change the will. 708 A Barnabas meets Rachel Drummond and is shocked to discover that she bears a striking resemblance to Josette Dupres – Collins. 709 A The ghost of Edith Collins begins to haunt Quentin. As a result, Quentin and his warlock colleague Evan Hanley conduct a ritual to try and stop Edith’s influence. Using young Jamison as a focal point, they manage to summon the spirit of Angelique. Angelique is there to stop Barnabas from interfering with the manipulation of Edith’s will. 709-711 A Evan Hanley has Sandor forge a new will to replace the genuine one. 710 A Angelique strikes at Barnabas by terrorizing Rachel Drummond (She too notes the similarity between Rachel and Josette). Her manipulations of Rachel are interrupted by Dirk Wilkins. 710-712 A Judith Collins discovers the original will and learns that she stands to inherit everything. 713-714 A Rachel grows curious when she discovers that Beth Chavez has been taking food and toys to someone in the tower room. Rachel eventually gets a key to the tower from Magda. Upon opening the room, the crazed Jenny Collins attacks Rachel and leaves her locked in the tower. She later attacks Judith Collins with a pair of scissors. Barnabas and Beth stop her and Barnabas learns all about Jenny Collins. 714-717 A Angelique confronts Barnabas but to warn him rather than combat him. She tells him that Quentin is out to destroy him. Quentin has Jamison steal Barnabas’ cane which he then uses in a ritual to cause Barnabas great pain.
