Chapter Patriots

Return to Home Page

 

        The DAR recognizes all men and women who advanced the American cause during the years of the Revolution – 1776- 1783.  Many patriots served via military positions; however, thousands of citizens also assisted their colony in civil offices and by the provision of supplies to the troops.  Through membership, we honor our ancestors who sacrificed their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to bring forth the nation we know today.

 

        Our chapter is proud to recognize the following individuals as patriots who contributed to the founding of the United States of America.  These patriots are the ancestors of chapter members.

 

        The DAR continues to recognize new patriots through the processing of membership applications.  For a full list of DAR recognized patriots, please consult either the NSDAR Patriot Index Millenium Edition, available at your local library, or the online Patriot Index Lookup Service, available at www.dar.org.  Please be sure to use the latest edition of the “Patriot Index”, as this volume is revised at least once a decade, as new information is acquired.  It is possible that patriots listed in former editions have since been discovered to have insufficient or erroneous information previously entered.  The newest edition is the ONLY reference that can be used for membership purposes.  All questions regarding membership should be routed through the local chapter so that we may assist you in acquiring accurate and complete documentation needed for the successful completion of your application.
