If I read this right, 8 people have gotten DAR membership thru Asa - but I don't see John in here. There is Asa m. Jennie Vanderpoel, Zebulan m. Mary P. Noyes, Sarah m. Isaac Wright and Mary/Polly m. James Peirson SAR has Asa listed too https://memberinfo.sar.org/patriotsearch/search.aspx, But I can't see through which children - maybe someone is a member and can look for you. According to this website: http://www.vermontrealestatesales.net/help/resources/townclerks/index.html This is the contact info for the Town Clerk of Pawlet - maybe you can email them and see what info they have? My Gilbert Douglas married Elizabeth Hamilty in 1807 in Tinmouth, VT - the clerk emailed me back with that info, but since I wasn't sure if the DAR would accept it, I rented the LDS film that should have had it on there, and it did (it was in the church records, and mixed in with tons of other church info). That's how I did that connection. Just a suggestion. Pawlet: Joanne G.
