I have the good fortune of living with easy access to the DAR Library in DC where nearly all applications are online now for in-library access. Just a word of caution: The tendency of many folks in the early twentieth century to complete those applications in creative ways has led to a tightening of scrutiny. Many of the ones completed in those early days have been stamped as closed to future applicants: future applicants must prove lineage, etc. One reason besides the interesting ways that people listed and proved lineages is that many of the sources used for verification were inauthentic. McCall's Revolutionary Soldiers of Georgia, for example, has no documentation, a missing element in many of the early lists. Among the few sources acceptable today for certification of RS soldiers is: Authentic List of All Land Grants Made to Veterans of the Revolutionary War by the State of Georgia. Compiled by Alex M. Hitz by authority of Ben W. Fortson, Jr., Secretary of State of Georgia.

So, family files at libraries in the counties the person lived in can be another source. Carol B.

Thank you so much for sharing this information with us. I was fortunate that a cousin had copies of some submissions so I got mine through her.

National is pretty secretive about some things. You could look through the chapters for GA or NC, some chapters list their patriots on their websites and you could contact them. Most chapters would be willing to check and then if the member wanted to share what she had she would be given your information. They won't (or aren't supposed to) give out member information. > To save you some time, my chapter, Philadelphia Winn-Lawrenceville, GA does not have that ancestor. > Here are the listings for State Chapters: > http://www.dar.org/natsociety/chapters.cfm?State=GA > http://www.dar.org/natsociety/chapters.cfm?State=NC > > Good Luck! > ~Kelly > > > -------------- Original message ---------------------- > From: "Jones Peebles" <jpeebles@coastalnow.net> > >> Does anyone Know of Using Benjamin Taylor being used to enter the DAR or SAR. >> These applications are great to help find Ancestors.......Jones >> >> ------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to >> GASCREVE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the >> quotes in the subject and the body of the message >> > > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > GASCREVE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message > > > ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to GASCREVE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to GASCREVE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
