One evening during his visit he attended a SAR meeting with my "men folk". The next day he said to me "Mrs. R, you know I had never thought too much about the Rev War or my anscestor's until last night. My family came over to America through Ellis Island and though I am proud of them, I realize now what an honor to be able to know that some relative fought or died for the freedom of this country". >> Hi Brenda Jo, Yes, you are correct, I am very proud to have at least 3 ancestors who fought in the American Revolution. William Green, of Orange County, NC was part of the Militia that went to help at Charleston, South Carolina and was captured by Lord Cornwallis. He was released and was involved in several other smaller battles aroung Hillsborough, NC. John Coltharp who was at Yorktown, and Major Thomas Blair with the Guilford County Militia. He was at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, and several others. I am very proud of each of them! Keep looking, and I hope you find what you need to join the DAR. Best Wishes, Tom Green
