The Sons of the American Revolution do not require as definitive documentation / proof as the Daughters of the American Revolution does.  The SAR may have a valid hint, but one should always redo the research to prove it correct. When I did my DAR application, I used some of my Puerto Rican cousins applications as the basis of my search, but I had to reprove everything from the very beginning.  It was a challenge, but rather satisfying to find out more.  I went in under one of the Scribner ancestors.  I had trouble finding some of the original records, but was very lucky that at two successive genealogical conferences, I had the opportunity to sit by and have extentive conversations with Josh Taylor -- he gave me clues to follow at the first conference, and at the 2nd one I was able to tell him I found the records and was able to submit my application.   Now I'm working on additional applications for the Livingston, Burch, Ladd, Daniels lines.  So far, I don't have any valid Bunker leads, as I don't know Benjamin's parentage.   On Tuesday, January 6, 2015 2:48 PM, Bette Bunker Richards via <[email protected]> wrote: Be careful about what you see online.  I just saw an application for membership in Sons of the Revolution where the applicant stated he was the great-grandson of Peter Bunker and Peggy and that Peter Bunker of Charlestown was present at the Battle of Bunker Hill and siege of Boston. As far as I know no Bunker served at the Battle of Bunker Hill. Benjamin Chamberlain Bunker had died in 1774, a year before the battle named for the land he owned.  His only son was born in 1771.  No one named Bunker from Charlestown was old enough or alive to serve at the battle. There were no Peter Bunkers in the Charlestown branch of the family and no Peter Bunker served in the Revolution as far as I know although Gil might have one in his database.
