Hi Sylvia, Great Project to work on. The Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) and it counterpart for the ladies, DAR are good sources for look-ups for background information about your Rev War Ancestor-if they have been applied for and approved. I note that some of the Patriot names posted here recently do show up as SAR/DAR Patriots-and some do not. For those who do appear (on CDs, websites, books that are accessable), these are great sources for finding more about your ancestor. I note that some of the responders to this list are not members of these SAR/DAR groups. If they want more information they can get it from the appropriate web sites (sar.org or dar.org) or I can be of some help. There must be chapters in the areas where your responders live. For instance, yes there was a Reuben White SAR Patriot-but he served in VA-not the same one. DAR does not have one, so this would be a new Patriot for both the DAR and the SAR if somebody wants to apply under this Patriot. Patriot John Tompkins has lots of applicants in SAR, so the Osborne's have lots of "cousins" who are members out there! Of course there is also the "Sons of the Revolution"-separate organization) Fred Boughton, Nevada State SAR Registrar (Former resident of West Coxsackie, now Las Vegas, NV)
