Joseph Collins b. 1762, d. April 3, 1814, aged fifty-two years, and was buried at Long Run, Pa. He came from the Eastern shore of Maryland, near Snow Hill where he was born, with an uncle to Washington County, Pa., and thence to Westmoreland. He was a member and Ruling Elder of the Presbyterian church at Long Run in 1798.
He served as Colonel of the Militia and is said to have established the first camp for Annual Drill at Clover Hill. There has been a question, among his descendents, whether or not he was an enlisted solider in the War of 1812. Records show that "Joseph Collins was in the service for six months, from May 5, 1813 to Nov. 5, 1813". The Captain of his Company was D. McCowan and the Colonel of the Regiment was Hill Rees. One of their marches was to Erie, Pa.
Abby survived her husband in widowhood for thirty-seven years and was buried at Marrysville, Pa., where she had membership in the Presbyterian church for many years and was a devout and faithful member.
Note: My original Family Name was Byram, but a census taker changed the name from Byram to Byrum.
