If he matches with what you know, it is easy and inexpensive to write for a copy of the membership application(s) that should have evidence for this data as well as for his service. I'll look for your Jeremiah in the DAR Patriot Lookup (Research) . I missed your original post. Tell me his last name and any more you know about him. he was from and served in Virginia? Jane
