Hi Dee,

We found Edlyne Willoughby in our DAR Patriot Index! The following information is listed:

This means a woman has joined the DAR using Edlyne as her patriot. Her application would provide more information on his service as well as additional information possbily including his children, dates of birth death and marriage of his descendants in a direct line to the DAR member and more. If you would like a record copy of her application you can order it by send a check for $10 made out to Treasurer General NSDAR and mailing it with the above information on Edlyne and mail them to:
Library Copy Services
DAR Headquarters
1776 D Street, NW
Washington, DC 20006-5303

If you or any female descendant of Edlyne Willoughby is interested in membership in the DAR, e-mail me at TRY925@aol.com and I will have the local chapter contact you. Each chapter has members who can assist in completing the application.

The Patiot Index indicates he received a pension. You may be interested in getting a copy of that file. Pension files often contain genealogical information as well as data on his service. To get a copy of the file visit a Regional National Archives or order it from the National Archives in Washington DC. Visit their web site at www.nara.gov to learn more about the locations of the regional archives or how to order the file via mail.

Regards
Gail Terry
