Source:Daughters of the American Revolution. Lineage Book of the Daughters of the American Revolution

Validity for Sources

These volumes are what would be considered tertiary sources as they do not have any references for their lineage claims. Until physical records became more readily available to the general public, word of mouth would have been more than acceptable on a DAR application. Many of the women in the earlier publications would have most likely known their grandfathers or great-grandfathers, which were of an age to have conceivably fought in the American Revolution. Until these lineages are proven by primary sources, caution should be taken about their viability.

Some of these lineages may have been verified by DAR. To find out about valid lineages, contact the DAR Library's Search Service.
