I am trying to find a document that states that George Washington actually did make John Opdyke's home in Headquarters, NJ his "headquarters" for a few days during the Rev. War. I need something like a diary page, a document, a letter mentioning this, a map, a deed -- something associated with the house, etc. that states this. I have checked in the book, "The Op Dyck Genealogy" written by Charles Wilson Opdyke and I have that information. I belong to DAR and John Opdyke has now been removed from the DAR Patriot Index because they say the story is "heresy" and there is no proof that this actually happened. They will not be admitting anyone to DAR on this line until some form of proof that is not "oral tradition" is issued. I have a pending Supplemental that could be verified if I could find this additional piece. I have already submitted the book listed above and they will not accept it. Furthermore, all those now belonging to DAR under John Opdyke will remain in the organization but no more will be allowed to join, as it stands right now until this proof is found. John Opdyke is my grandfather through his daughter, Elizabeth Opdycke Arnwine and her daughter Elizabeth Arnwine Carroll (Daniel Carroll, husband). This would have been a new child on the line, which I was most excited about. Please, if you know of somewhere to look or find this info, I would appreciate knowing where to get it or I will pay you for a copy of what you have and the postage to mail it, if there is such a document or piece of evidence.
