Hi all, I need some help. I'm trying to join the DAR with Patriot Jonathan CLOWER, my 3rd gr-grandfather. I need documentation that will show the children of his son, James Lawrence Samuel Butts CLOWER and wife, Fatha Ann COKER. My ancestor was their daughter, Martha A. (Mattie) CLOWER. The DAR already has the info on Martha's sister, Mary Jane CLOWER, who married John Alexander HOGUE. I just need to document that Martha and Mary Jane were sisters. This has been harder than it should be, it seems. Does anyone have any documentation or any ideas that would help? The only census that I can find showing both sisters living with their parents is the 1860, and the census-taker just used initials. Thanks, Susan Hudspeth [email protected]

However, I believe Fatha Ann was the daughter of Philip Coker, Jr. and I believe him to be the brother of my gggrandfather, John Wesley Coker. If you learn anything about the children of Fatha Ann, I would like to have this for my file. Good luck!! I recently joined DAR through my father's line and it was a long, hard job to get all the proof they required.
