Ever notice markers like this at historic sites you visit? I do, because I’m a proud Daughter of the American Revolution.
Chances are the marker was placed by the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
To become a member, a female must trace her lineage through female ancestors and connect with someone who served in the American Revolution.
My ancestor was Captain John Anderson. He hailed from Virginia. I was both surprised and pleased to find out I have Scandinavian ancestry.
As a proud member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, I always take note of markers we erect. The DAR reminds people of our historic fabric and teases out layers in every landscape. We even played a role in the construction of the Natchez Trace Parkway.
