This is the only John Weld in our DAR Patriot Index that may be the one you are inquiring about. If this is not your John Weld it does not mean your John did not serve during the American Revolution. It only means that no one has join the DAR using his service as proof that she could join.

If this is your ancestor and you would like a Record Copy of the application of the woman who joined the DAR with John Weld as her ancestor you can do so by sending the above information along with a $10 check made out to Treasurer General NSDAR and mail them to:
Library Copy Services
DAR Headquarters
1776 D Street, NW
Washington, DC 20006-5303

It may take 6-8 weeks to receive the copy as they are a busy office.

Our record also shows he received a pension. You may want to search the National Archives and order a copy of the pension. www.nara.gov

If this is your John Weld you could join the SAR. If interested in membership e-mail me at TRY925@aol.com and I can arrange to have them contact you.

If we can look up anyone else let us know.

Sincerely
Gail Terry
