You will 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:

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.
