Joel, It has been sufficiently proven for the DAR. A lady named Rosa Louise Tyson submitted what I believe to be a Supplemental Application to the DAR that was verified and approved on June 20, 1985 by the Registrar General. I have a copy of this application, and I am using it as one piece of evidence in my SAR Supplemental Application. Just because the DAR has recognized Rev. Jacob Parkerson as a Revolutionary War soldier does not necessarily mean that he was. However, there is evidence to suggest that this might have been the case. The following were listed as sources of proof on the DAR supplemental: "Roster of the American Revolution: Soldiers in Georgia" by McCall p. 93 Vol. 2 pub 1968 (In NSDAR Library) "Virginians in the Revolution" by John H. Gwathmey pub. 1938 p. 604 "Roster of Soldiers from North Carolina in the American Revolution" pub. 1932 p. 153 pub by NSDAR (In NSDAR Library) Even if Rev. Jacob Parkerson was not a soldier, he could still serve as a qualifying ancestor for someone wishing to join the SAR (certainly) or DAR (I think). The SAR, unlike the SR, recognizes people as qualifying ancestors who served the patriot cause in other ways than as soldiers. For example, if one could document that am ancestor provided money or supplies to the patriot cause (but did not serve in a direct military capacity as a soldier), the descendent would qualify for SAR membership, but not SR membership (as far as I know). So, even if Rev. Jacob Parkerson was "just" a chaplain for a patriot military force, he would have been providing a service, and would probably qualify for SAR.

He does not appear to have left Pulaski Co, so I would assume he is buried somewhere there. I personally think the the old Revolutinary war powder horn handed down in the Pate family and described in publications as belonging to William Pate may have belonged to Jacob Parkerson instead. Do you know if the powder horn is still in the family and whether or not it was engraved with initials?
