I've never heard of it, or the War of 1812 - well, I've heard of the war but you know what I mean, lol The National Society United States Daughters of 1812 is a lineage society for those who descend from patriots who served their country during the War of 1812. Headquarters of NSUSD of 1812 is in Washington, DC. Must fill out application with supporting documentation as you would for other lineage societies. When ordering papers for your patriot request bounty land papers first for more genealogical information. I am a past state president and currently have six approved patriots and am working on two additional supplementals. Search the Internet and you can find the National Website for the society.
