Thanks to this group I am enjoying my new copying of the Reynolds history by the Women's Club. I learned that my great aunt was once president of the Gordon-Carson Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy, and I was wondering whether their records might be available. I imagine she cited both her grandfathers' service and I have the service record of only one of them. Does anyone know if the chapter is active and how to reach them? Cathy johnson
