Samuel Poppleton (b; 1750 Vt-d; 1832 Ohio) is my 5th great grandfather. He served in the Revolution under Ethan Allen. His daughter Lydia married John Whaley Thornton who is my 4th gr grandfather. His son Clark K. Thornton is my 3rd gr grandfather.. this is the line I'm through. I'd love to be a member of DAR, but I do not know what is needed for proof or if I'm eligable. Can I use things on Ancestry such as cencus, bios, histories & copy them? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
