Hi, you said in your E-Mail that it was The Revolutionary War of 1812, The Revolutionary War was Between 1775- 1781, and then there was The War of 1812. It was not a Revolutionary War, It was Between The American's and The British and that is The War of 1812, but that's not The Revolutionary War. I'm not tring to be mean or Hatefull, I am just Stating a Fact about The War.

Thank you, Ed. This is happy reading indeed. Growing up, I always looked for books about women who were heroines (in American history). There were so many about men. It would be fine if this work could be made available to young girls in elementary, middle and high schools.

There were two Isaac Roberts in the DAR Patriot index, both dead long before 1903 and also not in NY. It does sound a bit unrealistic that he fought in the Revolution, then also in the Civil War. sue
I have sent a private response to this person, but a portion of my response is as follows: "Various Native American tribes and individuals allied themselves with either British or American forces at the time of the Revolution. Sometimes they even switched sides, depending on the circumstances. "If you research this incident further and can place the incident into a historical context, you are likely to find your answer. Essentially, if the Indians who killed the man were known to be working for the British, and those British forces were active in that area at that time, you will probably be able to find sufficient evidence to claim that the man was actively serving the American cause. This would be especially true if the man were, say, defending a fort or other critical outpost or military site at the time of the incident, and/or actively assisting American forces and fighting alongside them and giving them material aid. Even ministers who gave patriotic sermons, and merchants who supplied food and necessities, are considered by the DAR to have rendered patriotic service, making their descendants eligible for DAR membership. "For a DAR application, you would have to gather sufficient historical evidence to support your claim that the man was serving the American cause, either at the time of this particular incident, or in some other way during the period of the Revolution."

Send this direct to the SAR, DAR national societies, or the contact in your state. They would have the best answer, I believe.

Joanne I am the one post the Female Paul Revere Sybil Ludington The Female Paul Revere http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/1789/sybil.html Sybil Ludington was a typical 16 year old girl in 1777. She was the eldest of 12 children and was often responsible for taking care of her younger siblings. She was putting the younger children to bed on the night of April 26, 1777, when word reached her house that the British were burning the town of Danbury, Connecticut, which was only 25 miles away. Her father was a colonel in the local militia. His men were scattered over a wide area around the Ludington house in Fredericksburg, New York (now Ludington). Sybil convinced her father to let her ride and summon the men. She rode on horseback over 40 miles on dark, unmarked roads to spread the alert. Her course took her down through Carmel, on to Mahopac, and around to Kent Cliffs and Farmers Mills and back home. She rode alone with only a stick to prod her horse Star and to knock on the doors spreading the alert in time. The men whom she helped to gather arrived just in time to help drive the British, under the command of General William Tyron (who was also colonial governor of New York), back to their ships in Long Island Sound. In this day and age a sixteen year old girl alone on a darkened street is not safe. One can only imagine what it was like being a 16 year old girl aiding the rebellion during war-time within such a short distance from the fighting and alone with no one for protection. Sybil Ludington was a true American Hero. Sybil's contribution to the war was not forgotten. Present day visitors to Putnam County New York can trace her path on that midnight ride by following markers placed along the route, and view a statue of her erected in 1961 on Route 52 beside Gleneida Lake in Carmel on the route. There is a smaller copy of the statue located in Washington, D.C. in Constitution Memorial Hall in DAR headquarters. Written by Mrs. Todd James. And this site http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/history_for_children/113431 History For Children - The Female Paul Revere Author: Mary M. Alward Published on: February 5, 2005 Hi! My name is Sybil Ludington. I was born in 1761, in Fredericksburg, New York. (Now known as the Ludington section of Kent.) I was the oldest of twelve children. I spent most of my time taking care of my younger siblings and doing household chores. Those were the things that girls did in that era (time). My world changed suddenly on April 26, 1777. I was 16 years old at the time and was putting the younger children to bed when a rider galloped up to our house. He informed us that British troops were burning the town of Danbury, Connecticut. It was only a few miles from our house. My father was colonel of the local militia. His men were scattered over the countryside. Since the exhausted rider who had warned us of the British destruction could go no further, I convinced father to allow me to take my horse, Star, and ride to the homes of his men telling them to band together to defend our community. Father finally agreed and I jumped on Star and rode 40 miles alerting his men. The night was dark and I rode alone, using only a stick to prod Star and knock on doors. It was quite a trip, but I succeeded in alerting all the men. They banded together and drove the British back to their ships. The ride was kind of scary. After all, there was a war going on and I was alone with no one to protect me. Because of what I did, people hailed me as a heroine. I was just doing what I felt I had to do. If you would like to follow my path, you will have to visit Putnam County, New York. Markers have been placed along the route. A statue of me has been erected on Route 52, beside Gleneida Lake in Carmel. A smaller statue can be seen in Constitution Memorial Hall in Washington, DC. In 1975, a stamp was issued in my honor. After the war, I married Edmond Odgen, a lawyer from Catskill. We had one son, Henry. I died in 1839, and was buried in Maple Avenue Cemetery near my father.

Here is the posting about which you inquired and the DAR response to that posting. Hazel Kreinheder -----Original Message----- From: Kreinheder, Hazel Sent: Friday, April 15, 2005 9:18 AM To: '[email protected]'; [email protected] Subject: RE: [AMER-REV] The Female Paul Revere Sybil Ludington Fact or Fiction A small sculpture of Sybil Ludington was presented to the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution around 1960. For the better part of the last decade DAR members and staffers have been attempting to document the story of her reputed ride. Here are the facts as we know them. Sybil Ludington was born in 1761 in Dutchess County, New York. Her father was Colonel Henry Ludington. Sybil Ludington married Edmund Ogden, a Revolutionary War veteran about 1784. Edmund died about 1800 and Sybil spent the remainer of her life living with her son, Henry and his family. She died in 1839 and is buried near her father in what is now Putnam County, New York. The story of Sybil's "reputed ride" first appeared in an issue of the "Connecticut Magazine" in 1907 and was reprinted in a family history that same year. There is no mention of her ride in an 1886 History of Putnam County. A transcription of Henry Ludington's personal journal appears in that work. The Journal has no entries relating to the burning of Danbury, the activities of Henry Ludington, the deployment of the Dutchess County militia or Sybil's ride. No contemporary accounts, family papers or obituaries which refer to Sybil's exploits have been located to date. The only reference to Sybil Ludington during the Revolution is found in an 1881 account written by one of her nieces. She wrote: "The last time Aunt Ogden was here, she was telling us how she and her sister were alone in the house during the war. They had a fence built around the house and they each had a gun and once in a while they would fire off to make the soldiers think there were men in the house." At this time, the story of Sybil Ludington's ride remains an entertaining, but undocumented legend. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has found any CONTEMPORARY documentation which proves the legend. Hazel F.

In Nothing but Blood and Slaughter, Volume Two, the British had conquered Georgia and South Carolina, and had turned their attentions towards North Carolina. By 1781 the British government thought that the war in America was all but over and they could now focus on France and Spain. Though the war had turned against the Patriots, they were not finished. The British had all but won the war in the colonies, but they had not won the peace. Many of Cornwallis's army had been taken prisoner at King's Mountain in 1780. Cornwallis knew that if he marched into North Carolina the supply lines to his army would be spread thin and Patriot guerillas would be able to strike at will. Cornwallis also knew that to destroy the enemy he had to carry the war to them. He could not do this in South Carolina. Against orders from his superior in New York City Cornwallis decided to carry the war into North Carolina. The Revolutionary War was decided in the forests and plowed fields of the South. Huge lumbering armies brought the war into the low country and the piedmont while roving bands of guerillas harassed each other. Americans fought Americans in a bloody civil war. Past grievances against neighbors were paid with blood and fire by the partisans of both sides. This book is the third volume of four that attempts to list every single military action, no matter how small, in the Carolinas. Critics have called the series "the most complete history of the war in the Carolinas" and - a "MUST HAVE for any military history library of the American War of Independence." The author, Patrick O'Kelley is retired from the US Army Special Forces. He is currently a Junior ROTC instructor and has been a Revolutionary War reenactor and living historian for over 25 years. "Nothing but Blood and Slaughter" The Revolutionary War in the Carolinas, Volume Three, 1781 is available from the publishers website, for $20.95, plus shipping and handling, from the Booklocker.com website at: http://www.booklocker.com/books/1965.html Or, you can order for $28.00 (which includes shipping) with a check, from: Blue House Tavern Press 709 Kramer Road Lillington, NC 27546
