Of their five children, Joel was the eldest.

Joel Collins was typical of the many native Virginians, including the state of Ohio's first governor, Thomas Worthington, who did not own slaves and who were among the first pioneers to settle in that part of the Northwest Territory which became the free state of Ohio on March 1, 1803. During the War of 1812, Joel Collins accepted a commission as Captain in order to recruit and command a Volunteer Company of Riflemen within the 26th Regiment of U. S. Infantry in order to assist the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy during the War of 1812 in defeating the armed forces of Great Britain and its Native American allies in northern Ohio, eastern Michigan, and southern Ontario. This Company was popularly known as "Captain Joel Collins' Volunteer Riflemen".

Eighteen years before the War of 1812, Joel Collins had during the year 1796 in the state of Virginia wed Elizabeth Beeler (1779-1855), the daughter and third-born of the five known children of native Virginians Samuel Washington Beeler (1743–1824) and Amelia (Hurst) Beeler (1746–1831). One report suggests that three other children were born to Samuel and Amelia but does not provide names, birth dates, burial records or any other documentary evidence.
