Thanks - I think I know a Carrow descendant to pass this along to... On a similar note, I was able to help one of my female cousins to gain entry into the DAR via my 5x great grandfather Benjamin Hitch (1738/40 - 1814). I dunno if he has a 'number', or even what that means, but the descendant was just approved this past fall... Benjamin Hitch resided in Somerset/Worcester Co. (his land was literally on the line between the two counties (today it is fully on the Worcester side of Meadow Bridge Road - the road that divides the two counties). He gets credit for having served in the Revolution by the fact that, in 1780, he was listed with the Maryland Militia in the muster rolls for Salisbury Battalion, Mi(ll) Creek Company.

It was approved yesterday and I read it in my own file and it will be in Volume #959. I ASSUME he will be a Maryland Patriot as he served in the Maryland Militia.He lived in Duck Creek DE when his son John Carrow is born in 1783.That John Carrow married Mary Keys and I established William Keys as a Patriot in 2005. Anyone who wants a copy of my paperwork or John's number e-mail me after mid February.
