on

On August 20, 2019, the Colonel James Wood II, Chapter of the Virginia Society, Sons of the American Revolution honored Pvt Jeffrey Collins in a grave marking ceremony at the Lewin-Lawson Cemetery in Browntown, Virginia.

Jeffrey Collins was born on February 14, 1756 and lived in the Browntown Road, Gooney Manor area of the County. He married Jemima Arterburn on August 25, 1789 in Woodstock, Virginia.

Collins served as a Private in the Virginia Militia during the Revolutionary War. In March 1777, he volunteered for Captain Michael Rader’s Company. The company marched to Fort Pitt and then on to Wheeling where the unit fought Indians. His company remained to guard the fort at Wheeling until his discharge on March 26, 1778.

The Sons of the American Revolution strive to ensure that the patriots who gave us the United States of America are not forgotten and to promote patriotism in support of our country and its modern day heroes and to support teaching the history and values of the American Revolution and our constitutional freedoms.
