This link takes you to my transcription of "New York in the Revolution as Colony and State."

I descend from Rev. War guys: David Edson (doubtful), Elizur Loveland, Gershom Richmond, Caleb Brown Jun., Ebenezer Thomas, Barrett Phelps, James Jackson.

Well I think the dues keeps the Library in Washington going - which I have never gone but have used it online. It is a wonderful place I hear.

I have several ancesters that were in the Revolutionary War. I have found pension letters on many of them. What I don't have and want are war records. I have my lines but not all the birth and death records for my line. What I have been going by are family histories.

As far as joining the DAR, if they weren't so expensive to join, I would most definitely. I love the work that they do. I have the application and did my line but it will sit on my computer for now. Why don't they have ways for propecitive members to work off the dues?

Hi Patsy, Yes, I do have the national number my "cousins" went in on, and the patriot was my GGGG grandfather James Callin about whom I asked in my first posts. A few years ago I sent for the application records they used to get in, and the only source in their application was the same little booklet about the family that I originally mentioned. The cousins are from a collateral line, and if I remember correctly, they joined just a few years apart, one being in on the basis of the first one's acceptance. Are the standards of proof higher now? The booklet, which was written for a family reunion, has been amazingly accurate; I guess I'll look into this further at a local branch here in Oregon. Thanks

I was going to add another comment. Searching your ancestor's that fought or gave aid during the Rev War can be a pain in the butt. Most registar will work with you to get the information you need to get into the DAR. Plus the Lineage person of that chapter can help you out too.
Im the lineage person for our chapter. But willing to help other people out not a problem.
Plus if any body on here would like to join a chapter in WV let me know allright. I can put you in contact with our state register.

Joan Foster if you reading this email. You can go in on your cousin line that went into the DAR. You might only have to take it back four generation or up until you contect to the Patriot.
Do you know what patriot they used to get into the DAR? If you have there national number then all you have to do is get a copy of it and see what they used to get in etc.
