As a member of the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution), I can tell you that applications approved BEFORE 1958 needed to be re-proved. This application sounds like it might have been made before then. Also, this sounds like a short form application. This doesn't give alot of information. If you want, you can send a check for $5, payable to Treasurer General, NSDAR and send it to: NSDAR Record Copy Department 1776 D Street NW Washington, DC 20006 When writing, ask for (a) the application of the patriot for the child you descend from or (b) the most recent application. If there was more than one marriage, be sure to specify which spouse! My patriot is Peter Luna!
