Regarding non-enrollers, Nicholas Leatherman and his son Christian, Dunkards, were released from a 12 fold tax to 3 fold tax in 1780, Rowan County, NC. This is the same Nicholas Leatherman on the 1776 Fredrick County non-enroller list. That list helps me establish that Nicholas was still in Fredrick County in 1776. Thank you. Last year I was able to establish Nicholas Leatherman as a DAR Patriot. The DAR defines one's last documented act as acceptance in DAR. Nicholas furnished supplies for the Army in 1781 or 1782 (not sure of the year without my notes). Martin Shoup, a non-enroller, in Fredrick County, MD, is another DAR Patriot I was able to prove.

I consider the DAR Patriot list to be almost a joke. Elgibility includes: --all those on Militia rolls [all males in the county above a certain age whether they ever attended drill or not - this is how a lot of Brethren ended up on the Patriot list] --all those who provided supplies to the Army, including those who refused to sell to the Army and had those supplies confiscated --those who HIRED someone to take their place in the Army My ancestry is split between those who actually fought in the American Revolution, and those [as German Baptist Brethren and Mennonites] who refused to fight. I am proud of both sets of ancestors for standing up for their beliefs, but who is the DAR trying to kid with their eligibility requirements?
