To all knowlegeable listers.... If a man living in PA in 1777 was killed with two other men while fighting Indians would his action be considered patriotic duty? He had two brothers who were listed as being in the Militia around that time but his name was not included. Establishing the two brothers is not a problem. Question..... Was fighting Indians anytime during the Am. Rev. service period of 1775-1783 considered patriotic service? I'm wondering if it is worth pursuing SAR or DAR eligibility on this premise. Thank you for any comments or suggestions. Peg
