You may want to send for a record copy which will show more information. Try to narrow it down more, since it is $10 per Patriot. You would need to send the above information about the Patriot, along with a check made payable to the Treasurer General, NSDAR in the amount of $10 (U.S.). The request and check should be sent:
Library Copy Services, DAR
1776 D Street NW
Washington, DC 20006-5303.
Requests will take between 6-8 weeks.
If any lineal descendant of this patriot would like more information about joining DAR or SAR, please send me your name and address to
h0meb0und@aol.com (the o’s are zeroes) and we will have a DAR or SAR Chapter near you get in contact with you.
I hope this information helps.
Sincerely,
Joyce
DAR VIS Volunteer
