This is a follow-up to an earlier blog post on family veterans.
I've recently applied for membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution. I'm using my ancestor Thomas Pinson. He provided supplies. I really wanted to use my ancestor George Belcher, who actually did serve in the Revolutionary War.
A year later, I'm now submitting a supplemental application for Patrick Porter. Yay! He actually served under Capt. Joseph Martin in Virginia. He was also a juryman, commissioner of taxes, and furnished supplies. His son, Samuel, also an ancestor, also qualifies as a soldier serving under Capt. Joseph Martin and Col. Evan Shelby.
Another ancestor that I qualify to submit a supplemental is James Alley. He was a juror in 1779, a constable in 1780, and furnished supplies.
I am also looking at Moses Hurt (Sr), Crispin Shelton, and Josiah Fugate.
