D.A.R.
Members with Henry County Ties
Extracted from the
Lineage Books of the
National Society
Daughters of the American
Revolution
This set of over 130 books
are available in many public libraries throughout the country. With
no disrespect to the D.A.R., it is advised that you use their information,
submitted by individuals to meet membership criteria, only as a guideline
of information to be verified through other sources. Particularly
in the earlier days of the D.A.R., some information was not very well documented
and many errors in the submittals do exist.
In more recent times,
the D.A.R. has required more thorough documentation and evidence to substantiate
claims of Revolutionary War soldier lineage. To check for corrected
or additional data, you may also want to write the DAR at:
Office of the Registrar
General
NSDAR, 1776 D Street,
N.W.
Washington, DC
20006-5392
As I have been browsing
the volumes held in two different libraries in two different cities, neither
of which holds a complete set, the listings are organized only by
DAR number. Some individuals may have been overlooked or in volumes
not yet searched or not available. Many entries say only "born in
Illinois" thus it cannot be determined if any of these are also from
Henry County. If you have an additional memberships from these publications
which relate to Henry County, please feel free to submit via email.
Some entries will refer
to other entries within the books which contain more information on the
lineage. I did not have time to look up every item referenced so
you may wish to consult your local librarian if you need to refer to one
of the additional entries and it does not appear here. If I did manage
to pick up a referenced item, they are linked within this document.
Publication dates vary
per volume, but all were published by the NSDAR in Washington, D.C.
