WORK OF THE CONTINENTAL CONGRESS AND
NATIONAL BOARD OF MANAGEMENT.
48
PART I.
WORK OF THE CONTINENTAL CONGRESS AND NATIONAL BOARD
OF MANAGEMENT, OCTOBER 11, 1898, TO OCTOBER 11, 1900.
At the close of the first decade some review of oui- work is
appropriate, that a just estimate may be made of its amount
and utility. The number admitted to membership from the
beginning-, on October 11, 1890. until the close of the last re-
port, on October 11, 1898, was 25,638. The last member ad-
mitted in October, 1900, was numl)ered 38,1()(). This is an
increase of 7,522 in two years, which is certainh' a rapid gain.
During- the ten years of our existence as a society 1,560 of
the members have withdrawn and 1,193 have ])een removed
from our ranks by death. This is a total loss of 2,753, leav-
ing- our actual memliership in October, 1900, as 3(),4(l7. The
actual average gain has l)een 3,316 members for each of the
ten years. The average actual loss has been 275.3 members
for each of the ten years. The net gain for each year is thus
shown to be an average of 3,0-4(>.7. When it is considered
that no pecuniar}^ benefit accrues to anyone from membership
or office-holding in the society, when it is understood that
both involve hard work, with no reward except an ideal and
the satisfaction of watching the development of a higher patri-
otism, the growth of such a great organization in so short a
tinjc may well interest the student of social proI)lems.
The office of the registrar general is the center of a vast
network, extending to the limits of our continent and l)eyond.
The names of the Revolutionary ancestors of all our members
are recorded in a catalogue numbering about 27,369 cards, and
our membership list is arranged in a separate case. Through
the archives to which these cards are the index a student may
learn much of our early history. Much light is also thrown

upon the sul)iect of tlie absorption of newcomers into the body
politie. and cAeii a pessimist would lind encouragement with
regard to the innnigration prol)lems of the present day. The
names in these two catalogues mark the successive tides of
immigration to these shores. In the ancestors" catalog-ue the
names are largely English. In the members' catalogue we
find an admixture of Scotch, Irish, French, German, Dutch,
Norwegian. Italian, Polish, and even Russian names, yet all
are loyal descendants of the earlier stock. Mem])ership in
our society is not limited to those who can trace their patriotic
descent in the male line only. The old names must of neces-
sity often perish, l)ut daughters as well as sons transmit the
old patriotic spirit and enthusiasm for high endeavor. Tl e
society is tiierefore truly American and democratic in recog-
nizing the equal validity of a claim to patriotic ancestry through
descent in the female line.
The number of chapters on October 11. 1898. was tlrl-l; on
October 11. 1900. it was 539. A list of the new chapters will 1 e
found on pages 275-277. Each chapter of twelve members is
entitled to a representative in the congress of the society,
while each chapter of tifty or a hundred members may ha^e an
additional delegate. The congress has therefore become very
large and the expenditures l»ecause of it have increased in
like proportion. The annual reports of the treasurers-gen-
eral, made at the congresses of 1S99 and 19(10. folk)wed ])y
the report from February 10 to October 11. 1900. will be
found on pages 89-96. A comparison of the expenditures can
therefore ])e made and the average income estimated.
The lil»rary of the national society has gained steadily in
numbers and in the value of the volumes added. On October
n, 1898, there were 1.125 volumes in the lil)rary. of which
8ir) were l)ound and oOl* weie unbound. On October 11, IHOO,
there were 1.55'.> books, the bound volumes luunbering 1.128
and the unbound IMt'i. These haN'e all l)een fully entered and
to a large extent indexinl in a dictionary i-atalogue numt)ering
al)out 15, 0(1(1 cai'ds. M'his small libraiy is thus moi'(^ availal>le
for rct'ercMce than a nuicli largei' one would l)i' without close
indexing. This is shown by the iuunbi>r of visitors who daily
consult the l>o()ks, because, as they say. tlu\v find Ikmv informa-
tion not olttainable in the largei' librarit>s of the citv. It has
become necessary to pro\ide a >e|)arate room for the aeconi-

modation of these vi.sitors and readers. One of the cliief
purposes of the society is the promotion of historical researcii.
JSo incentive to such study has yet l)een found ecpial to the
interest ai'oused by personal search for the recorded deeds of
one's own ancestors. Since each individual (epitomizes the
efforts and impulses of his o-eneration, each man's record heino-
l)ound up with that of his cotemporaries. no one can become
interested in the one without k^arnino' about the other. In
addition to the library proper, there are 1»U) volumes of ^'eri-
tied individual records, each vohune containing •l{){); in ab.
38.2<)(». These make a lil)rarv ]>v themselves, and foi'm a
laro-er collection of such autograph records than can be found
in any other single place. They are a mine of infornuition for
the genealoi>"i.st and the historian.
Our lineage book has now reached its twelfth ^•olume. and
is continually improving in the interest of the matter and in
the accuracv of its presentation. Each volume contains the
carefully edited and corrected record of l.(»(>(> mem])ei-s. As
the work progresses the interrelations of families in widely
distant parts of the world are contiiuially revealed. Kindred
long separated may here find records of ])ranches whose traces
were lost generations ago, while families which have never
known their descent may hud here their connection witli the
parent stock. Each volume contains an index of memlxM's and
of ancestors. The records of the members are printed in the
numerical order of their admission to the society. Cross ref-
erences to the national iuim]»ers of other members with the
same ancestry call attention to their relationship. Three vol-
umes of this publication appear during each twelve months,
and the series when completed will show conrlusively the util-
ity of our large national organization. Xo small society could
meet the expense of a publication so extended. No work of
such a Scope could be made e\'en fairly accurate by a small
society. With a small membership the needful records would
be few and there would be little opportunity for that compari-
son of various lines which is so necessary to eliminate errors
in genealogv. In anv pui)lication of this kind occasional mis-
takes nuist occur. But as the records multiply the chances
against error increase. It is hoped that this pul)lication of
individual Revolutioirary records, together with the genealogy
which comiects them with the present generation, may in time

become a recognized tuithority. and Itridge over the one hun-
dred and twentv-iive years during- which the soldiers of the
Kevohition settled upon their bount}' lands in the frontier
wilderness and their ureat-grandchildren pushed our civiliza-
tion to the Hawaiian Islands.
The AiiKi-irdii Monfhiij 2Ia<j(izint' is the official org-an of
the society. Its publication was l)eg-un in July. 1S92. It is the
means of connnunication between the 1)oard of manag-ement.
the chapters, and the indi^'idual members. It contains the pro-
ceedings of the Continental Cong-ress, the minutes and official
announcements of the l)oard of management, the reports of the
state regents, and the accounts of chapter work. A depart
ment designed to be of use to those seeking- for proof of serv-
ices rendered l)v their ancestors in the struggle for libertv is
devoted to hitherto unpuldished or practically inaccessible
Revolutionary records. Another department, under the charge
of Mrs. Lydia Bolles Newcondt. of New Haven. Conn., is given
to genealogical notes and (lueries. and is intended to aid those
who desire to perfect their family records for the purpose of
entering the society. A department edited )>y Margaret Sid-
ney (Mrs. Daniel Lothrop) is devoted to the interests of the
children of the American Revolution. A part of the maga-
zi)ie is made u]) of original articles relating to American his-
tory, including Idographies, local histories, traditions, old
manuscripts, and in a broad and li])ei-al sense anything which
will add to the better knowledge of the history of our country.
Two volunu\s have b(MMi published each year, and the seven-

individual mention of each local society — to sino'le out nu'ii-
torious instances where all have done so well would he unjust.
Societies all over the states have put up tablets, marked and
cared for forgotten graves of the Re\'olutionar\' soldiers,
assisted poor descendants of our Revolutionary heroes, awak-
ened public interest by urging- parents and friends to save
historic landmarks — generally contributing the tirst donation
for any such cause; in fact, the patriotic objects the niem1)ers
have worked for and led have been as many and as varied as
the methods they have adopted to that end.
"A most important work, and one very timely in our country's
need, when ever}" nation is pouring its overflowing popula-
tion into our great cities, is the endeavor put forth to ex(n-t
an influence over those children and youth who l)y reason of
lack of the required ancestry can not belong to the society.
No estimate of the good achieved in this direction can be
made.
"'The contributions to the continental memorial hall fund,
the moiuiment to the prison ship martyrs, and the Washing-
ton and La Fa^^ette statues in Paris have been notabh" gener-
ous. The first two objects are still kept before the loyal
meml>ers as of national importance, while the societies are
careful to devote some portion of their funds to local work,
either of town, village, or state. One popular form in which
this desire to do local patriotic work takes efl'ect, is to present
prizes to public school pupils for the best historic essays, and
to give pictures of historic events or of heroes and statesmen
who made our country" what it is.
"A local society" has saved not onh' an old road from oblivion,
but one of the most important roads of our country's history,
the route by which the company of Capt. Isaac Davis, of
Acton, marched his men to the old North Bi'idge at Concord,
Mass., April 19, 1775, where was 'tired the shot heard round
the world.' Captain Davis said, 'I haven't a man who is
afraid to go,' and started down the old road, with ever3-one
of his company following. Solomon Smith was one of the
mmiljer. His son Luke was 27 years old when his father died.
]\Iany a time, with his father, he had gone carefully ovei' the
road, which in course of years was changed and turned into
farm land, and lost to view as a road. The old North Bridge
Society, of Concord, the tirst local society of the national

society of the children, had the course of the old road saved
for all future time by the help of the town surveyors and
Luke Smith, the only man then living- who knew it (he has
since died). All the tablets marking its most important
points will be set in place by the society. (Plate 4.)
'•The tree planted by the national society at Mount Vernon
was taken from a spot near to the old North Bridge. Around
it every year, in Feliruary, observing appropriate exercises,
gather the members and delegates to the annual convention
at ^Yashington, D. C. , of the National [Society of the Children
of the American Revolution."
The last report of our society contained the names of the
1,081 nurses who went into the service of their countrv through
the auspices of the D. A. R. Hospital Corps inaugurated in
1898. Of this number manv are still in service liut since our
last report closed several have paid with their lives for their
devotion to duty. Realizing how great a service had been ren-
dered by the nurses, our congress of 1899 desired to bestow
upon them some token of the honor in which they are held,
[t was thought that a certilicate issued ]\v the society might
])e a gratitication and possibly of some use, and therefore it
was voted that such a certilicate should be prepared and for-

to raise funds for the purchase of Meadow Gardens, or Meadow
Garden Farm, at one time the home of George Walton, a
Georgia signer of the Deehiration of Independence, The com-
mittee endeavored to raise the needed sum l)v soliciting contvi-
butions of 10 cents from each of our chapter meml)ers. But
the amount thus collected, when rept)rted at the congress of
1899, was found quite insufficient for the purpose in view. At
the congress of 1900 an appropriation of $2,000 was added to
the fund already collected, and in August,- 190(», the old house
became the property of the national society. It is, however,
in the keeping of the Augusta chapter, to be restored and
guarded as one of the few old historic Ijuildings remaining in
the state. The purchase price was $2,500. Of this amount
1500 was paid by the Augusta chapter and $2,000 by the na-
tional societv, wdiile $272.13, the principal and interest of the
chapter contributions, was paid to the Augusta chapter for
improvements on the property. The property comprises lots
30, 31, and 32 Nelson street, Augusta, Ga. An abstract of
the title and a cop}" of the deed will be found in Appendix A.
A picture of the house itself is to be seen on plate 6.
About thirteen years ago, before the foundation of our societv,
an association of American women was formed for the pur-
pose of presenting in 1900 a statue of Washington to France.
The project was approved by one of our earliest meetings in
1890 and the support of our society was enlisted. But as the
closing years of the century approached, the sum raised for
the statue was still insufficient. Another appeal was therefore
made to the public, and a request came to the national board
of management for the starting of a new subscription. This
request was worded as follows:
A STATUE OF WASHIXGTOX FOR FRANCE, TO BE GIVEN BY THE WOMEN OP
AMERICA.
The people of this countr}' have always cherished a warm sentiment of
gratitude to France for her generous aid in our struggle for national inde-
pendence, yet fhey have never given her, as a nation, any lasting memorial
of their appreciation of her friendship. To supply in some small measure,
at least, this omission on their part, it has seemed that it would be a fitting
thing for the women of America to offer to France some memorial which
shall convey to present and future generations their grateful remembrance.
An association of representative women from all parts of the country has
therefore been formed, with headquarters at the national capital, whose
52 Rrpoi't of Ddiujldri'H of thx Amtricdii HrroJutlon.
objei't i.< t<:) present to the French people a statue of Washington. Tliis
association iias Ijeen regularly incorporated in the District of Columbia.
After careful deliberation, the niendjers of the association have selected
the eminent American sculptor, Daniel C. French, to design and execute
tlie work. The statue is to l)e an equestrian figure in bronze, of heroic
size. The model is completed and ready for casting, and is pronounced to
1)e in every way worthy of its object and of the place for which it is
intended.
In 1890 an appeal was made by the association for the funds nei-essary
to carry out this patriotic desire, and a large portion ni the sum required
has Vjeen collected. About fifteen thousand dollars more are needed, and
to raise this amount the association now makes its final appeal. The
association would like to give all American women an o])portunity to con-
tribute. Small sums as well as large ones will be most gratefully received.

Ill accordaiu-e with the sugg-estions contained in this circu-
Itir. the national l)oard of management of our society appointed
a Franco-American memorial committee to prepare a new
appeal to our memhers in behalf of this project, which had
already had the sanction of the early members and of our
congress of 1898. The paper was as follows:

The people of France have given to this country a signal proof of their
friendship, the statue of "Liberty Enlightening the AVorld," situated in
the harbor of Xew York. Thus far, however, our nation has not made its
gratitude to France visible to the world by any similar memorial.
An association of American women has been formed for the purpose of
presenting to France a l)i-onze equestrian statue of George AVashington,
since his character syml)olizes all that is most valuable in our national life.

part of the required amount collected. The selection of the eminent
American sculptor, Daniel French, to design and execute the statue, is a
guaranty that the production will be appropriate and a work of art in
which all Americans can feel entire satisfaction.
^lost fittingly it is proposed to present this statue to France during the
Paris Exposition of 1900, where the United States will occupy a position
more prominent than has ever been accorded it at any previous foreign
exposition. At the present time Imt $15,000 are needed to complete the
work.
The Seventh Continental Congress expressed a lively interest in this
project and referred it to the consideration of the national board of man-
agement. This circular is therefore issued in the hope that each member
of our society will not only feel proud to contribute to this cause, but will
interest the women in her locality in this glorious enterprise.
During the coming session of the Eighth Continental Congress, D. A. R. ,
a final report of the funds collected will be made, and the proceeds trans-
ferred to the "Association of American Women for the Presentation of a
Statue of AVashington to France."
All contributions should be sent to ]Mrs. Robert S. Hatcher, chairman of
the Franco- American memorial committee, room 52, 902 F street, Wash-

The whole cost of the .statue was i^35,0(M). The amount paid
throuo-h our societ}' as the result of this circular was $1,141.73,
as shown in the account of our Franco- American memorial
committee, pag'c Si. If all sums given Iw our members
clirectl}" to the statue association during the thirteen years
i'ould be ascertained, our part in this memorial would probal>h'
appear larger ])y several thousands.
More than twenty years ago, the idea of erecting a monu-
ment to La Fayette originated with Robert John Thompson,
then a mere lad, ]»ut since known as the secretary of the
La Fayette memorial connnission to Paris. Visiting that city
years afterwards, he saw how obscure was the last resting
place of La Fayette (plate 7), and determined to interest the
school children of the United States in building a public
memorial which should show that Ameilca has not forgotten
the unselfish services of her French hero. Through the Com-
missioner-General to the Paris Exposition of 1900, a memorial
connuittee was organized and the President of the United
States recommended the project to the people of the nation,

and in some oases making the day a special holiday. In most
of the states collections for the fund were taken on this day,
and a large sum was raised; l)ut it was not sufficient to carry
out the plan proposed. Appeals were therefore made by the
memorial commission to the various patriotic societies, and
one came to the Daughters of the American Revolution as

Deak Madam: Your careful consideration of the acconijjanying pro-
spectus is earnestly requested. It will be observed that it is proposed by
the Commissioner-General for the United States to the Paris Exposition
to make especially conspicuous and resplendent the celebration of United
States day at the coming exposition. The great feature of these exerciscb'
is to be the unveiling and dedication of a monument from the children and
youth of our country to the memory of our nation's first ))enefactor and
defender, La Faj-ette. The proposition to raise funds necessary foi- tlu-
erection of the monument through the agency of the scliools has for one of
its chief purposes the direction of the minds of our young people to a
broader study of the historic events of the early days of the republic.
It is the earnest.Avish of the commission that the Sons and Daughters of
the American Revolution may cooperate with them and the schools in tlic
raising of the funds necessary for the monument, and in this connectiim we

As our society was already more or less pledged to the sup-
port of the Washington statue fund, and as no expenditures
of the regular funds in the treasury may be made by the
national board, except for current expenses, no definite sum
could be promised to the new undertaking. The only thing-
possible was to luring the matter to the attention of the chap-
ters, and this was done by means of the following circular
prepared h\ our Franco-American memorial committee and
approved by the national board of management:
moxrmext to la fayette.
Headquarters of the National Society of the
Daughters of the American Revolution,
Waslitngtou, I). C, December IS, 1S98.
The immortal La Fayette lies buried in a small but historical cemetery,
in an obscure part of Paris, in the rear of the Convent of the Petit Picpus.'
Few Americans know the place, few visit it, and in all France there is no
visible token that our nation, which he loved so well, still holds his name
in grateful remembrance. For this reason it is fitting that our society,
interested as it is in perpetuating the memory and services of Revolution-
ary soldiers, and which numbers La Fayette's great-granddaughter among
its honored members, should, together with the youth of the country,
assist in the erection of an imposing monument to his memory in a place
of prominence in the city of Paris, as a lasting proof that we have not for-
gotten the friend and ally in the hour of our need.
Unfortunately the contributions received from the school children of
tlie country on October 19 last are not sutticient to make this monument
a worthy expression of our nation's gratitude.
The La Fayette memorial commission (under the auspices of the Com-
missioner-General for the United States to the Paris Exposition of 1900),
endorsed by the President of the United States, and composed of the Sec-
retary of State, the governors of all the states and territories, and other
representative men throughout the Union, has asked our assistance in this

matter, and we are as^^ured l)y tlie coinmissii;)n that dur society will
receive full and official recognition in this work, and that one of the four
tahlets on the monument will lie reserved for us, to be appropriately
inscribed.
The national board of management therefore cordially rt-commends
that each member of the society show her ajipreciation ui this houDV by
interesting all persons in her locality to contribute, according to their
means, to this noble enterprise. It has also asked the Society of the Chil-
dren of the American Revolution, through its ]iresident-general, to coop-
erate in this undertaking.
The monument is to be unveiled on the 4th of July, 1900, "United
.States Day" at the Paris Exposition, in which ceremony our societ}' is
invited to partii-ipate.
During the coming session of the Eighth Continental Congress, D. A.
R., a tinal report of the funds collected will be made, and the proceeds
transferred to the " La Fayette memorial commission."
All contributions should be sent to Mrs. Robert S. Hatt-her, chairman
of the Franco- American memorial committee. Room 52, 902 F street,

The total restilt of this eircuhii' is seen in the report of the
treasurer-o-eneral for October. lt)0<». The items of the contri-
l)rLtions appear in the reports of the chapter work and in the

as stated by Mr. Thompson.
At the congress of ISl^t!) an appeal was presented to the
society for funds to restore Fort Crailo, or Vlie House, the
old building where the song "Yankee Doodle" is said to have
been composed. The congress expressed nuich interest in
the project, but did not appropriate any sum from the treasury
for this purpose. It was therefore left to the national board
of management to bring the subject more fully to the con-
sideration of all the members. The following circular was
accordingly issued:
save the YANKEE DOODLE HOUSE.
To the Dtmgliterf of the American Reeohitiou:
At the recent congress of the society, held at Washington, D. C, a prop-
osition was made to vest in the National Society of the Daughters of the
American Revolution the title to the Greenbush manor house, or "Yankee
Doodle house," situated on the east bank of the Hudson, opposite the
58 Report of Daughters of the American Rtvolution.
city of Albany, upon the condition that the society would assume the care,
restoration, and niainteiiance of the house, to be kept as a repository of
Revolutionary relics and as a place of meeting for the society, under the
charge of the New York state chapters.
This proposition was accepted l)y the congress, with a vote of thanks to
the organizer of the enterprise.
The purchase of the property for $6,500 has been assured without
expense to the society, l3ut the house, having been for some years unoc-
cupied, is in a condition requiring an expenditure of about $3,500 for res-
toration and repairs, in ad(iition to whicli an endowment fund of §10,000
is desired to provide for the annual expense of the property.
Far and wide is recognized the worth of this ancient Imilding as a relic
connected most intimately with the stirring days of the Revolutioti, and
of great historic interest as the place where "Yankee Doodle" was
written. The well at which the general and the author sat while the
words were scribi)led whose ])()i)nlarity have lasted over a century is still
there, with its fi<:)wing stream of fresh water, and the whole building
breathes a prayer to those who t'an save it from destruction.
The manor house was erected as a fort in 1642 by order of Kilaen Van
Rensselaer (the first patroon and founder of the city of Albany), a fact
which is attested by a stone set in the cellar wall bearing this date, together
with his initials. It served as a jilace of defense and refuge for the settlers
on the eastern bank when hard pressed by hostile Indians, and was named
for the patroon' s estate near Amsterdam, Holland.
<Teneral Abercrombie occupied the house as his headquarters while
marching to attack Fort Ticonderoga in 1758, when it is said that at the
cantomnent east of the house, near the old well, the army surgeon,
R. ShuckVjerg, composed the popular song of "Yankee Doodle." Here
Washington, LaFayette, and many other celebrated men were entertained.
The house lot is about 300 feet in depth.
Upon the outer front wall of the house, above one of the ancient stone
l)ortholes, is to be seen a bronze tal)let, placed there in 1886 bj' John Boyd
Thaclier, then mayor of Albany, with the following inscription: " Sup-
jiosed to be the oldest building in the United States, and to have been
erected in 1642 as a manor house and place of defense, known as Fort
Crailo, General Abercrombie's headquarters while marching to attack
Fort Ticonderoga in 1758, when it is said that at the cantonment east of
the house, near the old well, the army surgeon, R. Shuckberg, comjuised
the pojmlar song of 'Yankee Doodle.' "
Aside from the facts connnemorated l)y this tablet, the old house is full
of historic interest. The initials "J. Y. R." inscribed on the stone at the
iiortii door, with another ])earing the date " 1740." referred to the owner
at the linn'; who was born in Fort Crailo in 1708, and lived there until his
(U'atli in 1783. He was Colonel Johannes Van Rensselaer, a man promi-
nent in colonial times for his services and patriotism. He lived to see the
doggt'rel written by bis satirical F>ritisli guest lead many of the despised
Yankee lads to victory at the call of the spirit of "'76." Tvo old himself
for active servic(>, he gave all his children for iiis cotmtry's cause. His
daughter Catherine, the wife of (ieneral riiilip Schuyler (one of whose
Report of Daughttt's of the American HcroJut/on. 59
daughters became the wife of Alexander Hamilton and another the wife of
the patroon), Ava8 born and lived in the old mansion until her marriage.
Fort Crailo was, therefore, all through the Revolution, and subsequently,
the familiar resort of these eminent men, and of many others who also
l)ore a distinguished part in the struggle for Independence, in which the
Van Rensselaers were zealous adherents of the cause of the colonies.
Rarely has there Iteen laid before the society an object so calculated to
an^use enthusiasm as the preservation of the birthplace of "Yankee
Doodle." All that earnest endeavor and interest can do is pledged to the
enterprise by those who have brought it thus far.
Mrs. S. deL. Van Rensselaer Strong, Inwood, New Brunswick, X. ,1.,
who originated the patriotic object of purchasing this valuable historic
spot, requests the generous aid and zealous cooperation of the National
Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
The national board, feeling that this object, having been endorsed by the
continental congress of 1899, sliould be presented to the chapiters for their
consideration, send out this circular for that purpose.
Contributions should be sent to the treasurer-general, marked "Fort
Crailo fund." This fund will be kept in bank until the title deeds of the
property shall be vested in the National Society of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, and then applied to the restoration and preservation
of Fort Crailo.

A glance at the treasurer's report for October. 1900. will
show that the response to this circular was very small so far
as the national treasury is concerned. It is interesting to
note, however, that the largest contributions to the fund
came from California and from Aloha Chapter, our outpost
at Honolulu. Several chapters have raised separate funds foi"
this object, as will be seen in the reports of the chapter work.
The present interest in the project is doubtless less than it
would have been if the needs of the Continental Memorial
Hall fund had not been paramount and pressing.
It is hoped that a large interest in Fort Crailo may develop
after the Memorial Hall is an accomplished fact. In the mean-
time, the fort property has been purchased by Mrs. Van Rens-
selaer Strong, who has repaired the building sufficiently to
keep it from decay. But much more work will be needed
before the structure can be fully restored to its original con-
dition and made a museum of relics, as planned.
The congress of 1899 made the president general chairman
60 Report of Dau(jlders of the American devolution.
of the continental memorial ball committee, and gave to this
committee the power to use the funds so long garnered in
the trea.suiT for the proposed Indlding. A reference to the
report of the treasurer general for 1899 will show that the
amount then in hand was 1)V no means adequate for erecting a
building of the size and character suitalile to commemorate
the heroes and heroines of the Revolution at the capital of the
nation. The building nuist be strong and enduring, like the
virtues it typiiies. It must ))e Ijroad and ample, to accommo-
date the meetings and the growing business of the societ}^.
It must be beautiful as art can make it, if it is to express the
love and veneration of American women for those who made
the nation, and, in so doing gave to women an opportunitj^
for influence and development such as no other land afl'ords.
No small sum could properly embody all these ideas. More
money must be secured befoie the work could begin. Appeals
were therefore sent to all the chapters, and all the state regents
were enlisted in the work of raising the needed sum. The
wording of the appeal was as follows:
The routiueiital memorial hall to be erected l)y the National Society of
theDaughternof the American liev(jlutionat the national capital will he the
fir^t structure of its kind rai.sed b}' Avomen in this or any other country.
The plan and scope of this large and magnificent monument to the memory
of the makers and savers of the Eepul^lie of the Cnited States of Amerii-a
reveal the mighty force of the national idea that has united and held together
this body of women through the nine years of its existence as a society.
This memorial building will be a large moral factor in the teeming mate-
rialization of the present age, to lift before the eyes of the nations the prin-
ciples embodied in the national constitution and interwoven in the national
life. It is preeminently woman's province to set in motion all those moral
forces and influences that make for the higher patriotism, and to give them
color, life, and equipment ; and woman' s hand has never achieved a mightier
work to conserve for all coming generations the national idea than this
consecrated memorial hall, dedicated to the men and women who molded
the national life.
The need of the building for the actual daily working forces of the society,
and for the i)i'eservation of its archives and relics, as well as for its meeting
place for its annual congresses and other sessions, is imperative.
The time is now ripe for the comiiletion of all the plans concerning this
work. In the solemn light of this waning century let us not jmuse an
instant, but hasten with all our might to fulfill what is our most sacred
duty and our grandest jirivilege to iierform. Let not the day dawn of U)00
shine upon us with this glorious work faltering under our hands. Say,
rather, let not the hundredth anniversary of the death of our immortal

We have on hand for this continental memorial hall tlie sum of 810,225.52
in cash and §35,000 in bonds. For a building worthy of the purpose we
consider it necessary to raise §200,000 more.
Washington, D. C, May 3, ison.
This circular was signed by Mrs. Daniel Mannino- and by
the whole continental hall committee of 1899.
There are between 2,<X)() and 3,()<»0 members at large in the
society, and it was thought that they also might Avish to join
in the good work. An appeal was therefore sent to them in
the following words:
To the Members at Large of tlie National SocJetij of tlie Daiajhtrrx (f the Amer-
ican Revolution:
The committee on continental hall has issued a circular letter t(j the
regents of chapters, urging that every memljer of their chapter contribute
§5 for the continental liall Ijuilding fund, or that the chapter should con-
tribute, as a chapter, a sum that would re})resent §5 for each of its members.
The committee now supplement this appeal by asking you as a member
at large to make a special contribution to their fund.
Your interest in the society being entirely national, it is hoped that ynu
are particularly interested in the successful carrying on of its work at heatl-
quarters in Washington.
Having no tax on your generosity for chapter dues, or special objects
which chapters work to support, could you not afford to send even a larger
contribution to the national treasurer-general ior this memorial building
than has been asked of chapter members?
Will you not, as a member at large, help td buihl a Ikiuic for the nutinnal
society in Washington that shall be a suitable memorial to y(,iur Kevolu-

tionary ancestorg and a monument to the patriotism and zeal of the daugh-
ters of the American Revohition?
All contributions should be sent to INIrs. Gertrude B. Darwin, treasurer-
general, National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution,

By order of the continental hall committee.

The result of these two circulars can be seen in the treas-
urer's report for September 30, 190<>. It will l)e noted that
the permanent or building fund is there shown to have
increased since February. 1899, almost 1^15.500.
At the meeting of the national board of management on
November 3, 1899, the pressing need of philanthropic work
in Cuba, Porto Rico, and the Philippines was considered. It
was felt that the services pledged by the society to the Gov-
ernment at the beginning of the Spanish-American war were
.still needed. Resolutions were passed requesting all chapters
and members to arouse interest and secure cooperation in their
communities for the relief of the orphans and destitute of
these islands. In the reports of the chapter work in Part II
of this report it will be seen that the response to this request
was very general.
Since the interest of the society in the Paris Exposition of
1900 was largely increased by the contril:)utions to the two
monuments to AYashington and La Fayette, it was thought that
an exhibit of our work at the exposition would be desirable.
An appropriation of ft^2.(iO(i was therefore made b}" the con-
gress of 1900 to defray the expenses of an exhil>it and to pro-
vide for a congress, which it was hoped might l)e held in
Paris. It proved to be impossible to arrange for this con-
gress, and the meetings at Paris were of a social character.
The only part of this appropriation used was ^188 spent by
the l)oard of management in preparing and packing the
exhi))it. The rest of the money, ^1,812. has' been rettirned
to the treasury.
A picture of the exhibit is on plate 8. and a complete list of the
articles exiiibited follows the account of th(^ Franco-American
memoi'lal committee. The society received the highest award
or (n-aiid Prix for this tirst public i)resentation of its work in
a foreign land. No s])ecial mtulal accompanies the diploma of

In her report to the congress of l!H»(), the assistant historian
general, Mrs. Robert Stockwell Hatcher, called attention to
the fact that no public recognition had ever been bestowed
b}' the people of this country upon Francisco de Miranda,
a native of Venezuela and a friend who came with La Fayette
to light for the liberty of this nation (plate 9). His tomb is
in the Pantheon at Caracas, Venezuela. It was recommended
that a wreath of imperishable palms should be sent to Caracas,
through the United States minister, to be placed upon the toml)
of this nearl}* forgotten benefactor. The placing of the wreath
occurred on May 23, 1900, a national holiday newly established
by General Castro, President of the Venezuelan Repul)lic.
Shortly before 11 o'clock in the morning a regiment of troops
marched to the plaza of the Pantheon, A few moments later
the national band arrived. The minister of the United States
of America, Mr. Francis B. Loomis, was received by the rep-
resentative of the minister of foreign affairs. In a few moments
the national air of Venezuela was heard. There was a rattle of
arms as the troops came to ""attention," and the President of
Venezuela, accompanied by Madame Castro and the members of
the cabinet, entered the Pantheon and proceeded to the tomb
of Miranda. In presenting the wreath Mr. Loomis made a
brief speech in Spanish, in which he alluded to the friendly
action of the Venezuelan government in erecting two large and
handsome monuments at Porto Abaya to the ten Americans
who accompanied Miranda in one of his later expeditions and
were executed b}" the Spaniards. In accepting the wreath the
President, General Castro, seemed much interested, and made
an eloquent and gracious reph*.
The event thus assumed the character of an international
episode. Some weeks later, a letter was received from li.
Andueza Palacio, minister of foreign affairs of Venezuela,
expressing in courtly Castilian the thanks and appreciation of
his countr3nuen. The translation is as follows:
Caracas, May 4, 1900.
^Ir. ]Mixister: Yesterday, shortly after receiving same, I read to the
Supreme Chief of the RepubHc your letter in reference to the offering
which the Daughters of the American Revolution dedioateil to the memory
of General Miranda, one of the foremost c'hami)ions of the independence
and liberty of the peoples of the New World.
O-i Report of DaugJders of the American Revolation.
The character of the society making the offering, tlie nol)le uatnre of
this offering, and the method adojited in sending same all lend an especial
importance to the gift and give the act especial significance as one of fra-
ternity and good will which no Veneznelan can look upon without feelings
of the deepest gratitude.
The part given to your excellency in the presentation of this offering is
considered by the Chief of the country as an additional proof of the high
motives which inspire it; and since he is anxious that the due expressions
of gratitude reach these distinguished ladies by the same channel, he has
asked me to request your excellency to extend your courtesy and generous
good will to the point of comnuuiicating his gratitude to the distinguished
society who send the offering.
Having taken note of your excellency's reciuest to have the date of
presentation after the 15tli of this month. General Castro has decided upon
the 23d, to fulfill, in company with his wife, the wishes of the Daughters
of the American Revolution.
I beg your excellency to accept the assurances of my most friendly con-
sideration and most distinguished personal esteem.

At our congTess of 1899 the president-general, Mrs, Daniel
Manning, was elected to represent the society at the exposi-
tion in Paris in 1900.
In order to carry out this ordering of our congress, it was
necessary that our president general should be made a com-
missioner of the United States. None but an accredited repre-
sentative of our government could receive the desired official
recognition from the French government. The following-
letter, signed by the active officers of the national board of
management, was therefore sent to the President:
To the President of the United States.
Mr. President: AVe, the undersigned members of the national board of
management, now in session, have the honor of recjuesting, in the name of
our society, that you appoint Mrs. l>aniel Manning, president-general of
the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, a com-
missioner to the Paris Exposition of 1900, in order that our organization —
the only patriotic society in the I'^nitcd States incori)orated by Congress,
and comprising a membership of over thirty thousand women, representing
at least one hundred thou.sand loyal .Vmeriians, who, like yourself, are
descended from a jjatriotic Revolutionary anci'stry — may be fittingly
represented at the great international exposition held in a sister republic,
the founders of wlucli gave such material aid to our own struggle for
in<lepen(k'nce.

The originals of both those (loeuiiients are on lile in the office
of the Secretary of State.
On Feliruarv !23, 1900, a joint resolution of the Congress
of the United States was unanimousl}' passed, enabling- the
President to make the desired appointment of a special
commissioner to represent the United States g-overnnient
and the Daughters of the American Revolution at the Paris
exposition.
The commission was brought to the president general at
our own congress of 1900 by the hand of the late Mrs. William
P. Frj'e, our vice-president general from Maine. A copy of
it, reduced size, will be found on plate 11.
Our representative attended all meetings of the commis-
sioners at Paris, was received with honor l»y the President of
the French Republic, and was awarded the medal of a cheva-
lier of the Legion of Honor, such as was given to the repre-
sentatives of other nations. (Plate 12.)
The statue of Washington, so long planned, was at last
installed in the Place dTena on July 3, 1900, the anniversary
of the date when Washington took charge of the American
armies, (len. Horace Porter, amiiassador of the United States
to France, presided over the exercises. The statue was pre-
sented in the name of the women of America by Hon. John K.
Gowdy. consul-general of the United States at Paris, and was
unveiled by Mrs. John P. Jones, A'ice-president of the associ-
ation which presented the statue, and Mrs. Daniel Manning,
also vice-president of that association and president general of
the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution.
The gift was accepted on ])ehalf of the French Republic by M.
Delcasse, the French minister of foreign att'airs, with solenm
state and ceremonies, in the presence of an inunense crowd.
A i)ictiu'e showing several stages in the unveiling ceremony is
seen in plate 18. The official progranune of the exercises on

The inonuineiit to La Fa^'ette was unfinished on ,[idy 4. tiie
date set for the unveilino-. A stati' reprodiietion of the statue
was therefore installed in its plaee on the Square La Fayette
(Carrousel du Louvre) until sueh time as the aetual monument
ean be set up. Our tablet was put in position on the base of
the pedestal and l)ears the words found at the elose of the
address on page 60. The programme of the exercises follows
on the same page. Music, written especially for the occasion,
was performed by John Philip Sousa and his band. Hon.
Ferdinand AV. Peck, Commissioner-General of the Ignited
States to the Paris exposition and honorary president of the
La Fayette Memorial C'onuuission, presented the statue to
the Kepu])lic of France on l)ehalf of the youth of the United
States. The gift was accepted l)y the President of the French
Republic, M. Loubet. and addresses were made by Gen. Hoiace
Porter, by Robert J. Thompson, and by Archl>ishop L'eland,
the orator of the day.
The address, which expressed the thought and hope of our
society, was made by Mrs. Daniel Manning, whose Avords on
La Foyetie and tJie I)(ni(j1itcr.s of the Araerk-ati Rcrolution
form the most fitting close to the record of the past two years.
She said:
We have come together in this city of romantic and historic interest td
iionor the memory of the illustrious La Fayette, and sunny France extends
a gracious welcome to every guest. In one hand the Ijrightness of the
south, in the other the treasures of the north. This beautiful city, with
all its irresistible splendor, is fortune's favored spot — between extremes,
yet where they meet in happy harmony.
We are here to-day to render our homage to La Fayette — our admiration
for his character, our gratitude for his help, and our attachment for the
principles of civil and religious liberty whicli he encountered ocean, exile,
and war to establish. The l^ells are ringing to-dav throughout America tf)
68 Ripoi't of BangJiters of the American Bevolution.
cele1)rate the ])irth of our Republic and the names of La Fayette and Wash-
ington, for La Fayette's name is indissohibly hnked in the heart of every
American with the Fourth of July.
< )n this day, on lasting foundations, we laid the corner stone of our Repub-
lic which your copatriot helped us to rear. As men of old builded with
their swords l)y their sides, so we laid stone upon stone of the temple of
liberty, and in dark and perilous times a light shone from over the waters.
That star of hope was France, and the friendly light has never faded from
our sight; and to-day, from city and village, from mountain and valley,
comes a spontaneous outburst from every heart of America to swell the
note of praise in our national celebration, and none is more harmonious
thai\ the sound that, as a mighty voice, echoes the name La Fayette.
No day could be more auspicious for the unveiling of this monument
than the anniversary of the Declaration of Lidependence — one of the days
dedicated to the memory of T>a Fayette on our historic calendar — our
national holy day — a fitting time to show our deep sense of the value of
the work of La Fayette.
This monument is the loving gift of the young people of America who
have offered of their treasures, and the monument will not only be a UKm-
ument to a hero, but the permanent memory of a great life in a thousand
little minds; for one landmark of liistory written in stone is worth a In n-
dred written in ink. It is Avith gratitude the Daughters of the American
Revolution place a tablet upon this monument. We know that great
deeds are " most safely deposited in the remembrance of mankind;" we
know that no tablet less Ijroad than the earth itself can carry knowlet'ge
of the American Revolution where it has not already gone; that no monu-
ment can outlive the memory of the deeds of La Fayette. But our object
in placing this tablet is to give some proof of our gratitude to La Fayette,
and of (lur conviction of the T)enefits he conferred upon our land and of the
happy influences that have been produced by the American Revo'.ution
upon the interests of mankind.
On this bright and happy occasion, when we pay our tribute to tlie noble
life of a hero and patriot, we are reminded that in honor, virtue, and valor
the world is one nation, one people, with one language and one tongue.
No seas can separate the ties of sympathy nor the fellowship of great aspi-
rations. All nations and all peoples unite with one heart and one voice in
crowning the heroes of every land and race. It is not, then, as America's
hero alone, nor as the hero of France alone, that we desire to perpetuate
the memory of General de La Fayette, but as a hero possessing those traits
that all mankind delight to honor wherever worth is valued and great ideals
are the asjjiration and hope of the brave and the true. The fame of such
a cliaracter can be measured only by tlie limit of a world's gratitude. A.s
it was said of our Washington that he was "first in peace," so General
La Fayette was a soldier who fought only to sei-ure the blessings of peace,
anil this is the true hero. To a man who wars for strife and conquest only
we can never give that waini admiration wliich is the spontaneous outburst
< if ( lur jiraise. Hut La Fayette was the rejirescntative — knight-errant — hero
and apostle of liberty, and his career is consjii^'nous for the rarest fidelity,
tlic purest iirincijilc. and the most chivalrous courage, not only for his own
countrv, but for a countrv tlien without a name, united to him l)y no tics
Report of Da ug liters of the Amerieav R<n'ohttioii. (if^
of Mood, laiiLTuage, or traditions. With no 8pur of future enKiluninits nor
incentive of pers^onal ties, he came to espouse the cause of the American
peopleaccordingto the principles of the Dechiration, which unfolded Itefore
his eyes the consecrated standard of human rights. He cros-ed the ocean
and offered his sword to distant, unknown fellow-men striving for li]>erty.
And how completely his sympathy was with America is shown in a letter
to his wife, when he writes: "I hope for niy sake you will become a good
American." Fis was the most tender friendship to Washington that his-
tory records, and to the lioy hero was given the grateful thanks of a free
peoijle, and the depth of that gratitude was shown when on his return to
America forty years after every one vied in paying him homage, as ex-
pressed in the words of a popular song:
"We how not the neck.
We bend not the knee.
But our hearts. La Fayette,
We surrender to thee."
He cast his fortunes in with us when we stood alone. He fought for us
when we had no credit, and his hand helped to guard the cradle of Ameri-
ca's liberty. And now that we have come to a full measure of our strength
we value his proffered aid al>ove everything that can be counted or told.
We hailed him in our adversity, and in our prosperity we will redouble our
acclamation in his honor. From the time of the di.scovery of our country
we owe a del)t to those nations who gave us of their I)est — from the early
Christian pioneers from France, whose lives and deaths consecrated our soil
and to those who later came to help us in our independence. And the
name of La Fayette is forever inscriVjed in letters of gold upon the tal)let of
our memories and the history which commemorates the name America.
And thus, "with hands across the sea," America joins in this tribute to
her — to our — to the world's hero — La Fayette.
The friend of America,
The fellow-soldier of Washington,
The patriot of two countries.

WORK OF THE CHAPTERS.

PART II.
WORK OF THE CHAPTERS PREVIOUS TO OCTOBER 11, 1900.
In preparing the roport.s of chapter work which follow, it
has been necessary to omit ver}" many details, which, though
not ''of national interest and importance," according- to the
terms of our charter, have yet had an important influence upon
the general success of the society. It seems proper that at
least some passing mention should, however, be made of the
social and literary features which give life and color to our
work, and which, without doubt, have made much of it
possible.
In eveiy chapter anniversaries of historic events are regu-
larly kept in remembrance and brought to the attention of
the community by special observances, more or less elaborate,
according to the circumstances, but aIwa3^s calculated to excite
the curiosity and interest of those not yet members.
In almost every chapter a definite programme of historical
study is followed with more or less regularity, and the pul)lic
is invited to participate in the instructive and inspiring remi-
niscences thus evoked. The social hour following the study
is always a pleasant feature which helps to unite all member.s
in good fellowship. The practice, almost universal among the
chapters, of giving prizes in the public schools is always made
an occasion of much ceremony and interest, both to pupils
and parents, and has already- had a marked efl'ect in stinui-
lating research into facts forgotten or overlooked in many
out-of-the-way corners of our land. This influence may fairly
be expected to increase, rather than to diminish, as the prize
giving becoriies more and more an annual occurrence in the
schools.
The identification of Revolutionary soldiers' graves is this
year a more marked feature of the work than it has ever been
before, and it is hoped that the lists of names herein contained,
101
10'2 Bcjjort of Daughters of the American Bevolutlon.
coming as thej^ do from so maii}^ ditt'erent localities, may serve
to supplement the Revolutionaiy rosters already published,
and help the residents of noncolonial states to trace branches
of their families with which all connection has been lost dur-
ing the westward migrations of our people.
Every effort has been made to have these lists correct, and
the proof of the manuscript has been in each case submitted
for correction to those who sent the information. If any
errors are still found attention should be called to them, that
they may be corrected in the succeeding report.
The numl)er of members in each chapter has been verified
by the reports on file in the office of the treasurer general at
the date nearest to October 11, 1900.
ALABAMA.
There are but seven chapters in Alabama, but the members
are enthusiastic and are doing useful, patriotic work under
many difficulties. As there are few historic spots to mark,
the chapters have devoted their energies principally to educa-
tional work, and have donated books, periodicals, and pictures
to the pul)lic schools, l)esides giving gold medals to encourage
the study of American history.
The Alabama " Daughters " are working in unison with the
Alabama Historical vSociety, and sent a delegate to the meet-
ing of the society in June, 1900.
All the chapters will unite in providing items for a special
colunui in the Montgomery Advertiser devoted to historical
and genealogical work, and it is hoped that valuable informa-
tion will thus be obtained and much light thrown upon half-
forgotten history.
Andrew Jackson Chapter, of Talladega, 18 members, con-
tinues its efforts to perpetuate the memory of the Tennes-
see soldiers who fell in the battle of Talladega on November 9,
1813. Their names have been collecfed and published ])v the
chapter in booklet form, and are to be inscri])ed on the sides
of the monument erected over the remains in the Talladega
cemetery. These men fought under Andrew Jackson against
the Creek Indians, and their victory over the savages made
that part of the United States safe for the pioneer settlers.
The chapter cotitinues its efforts for the passage of Senate
Ri'poi't of Da ug liters of the Amerlccoi Eecotutioii. lOP,

for the state fair held in Birmingham in November, 1899. The
state regent, Mrs. J. ^lorgan Smith (Katharine Duncan), is an

bers in the search for the Revolutionar}" graves in Alabama.
A list of them is being prepared and they will be suitably
marked.
John Wade Keyes Chapter, of Athens, 13 members, has just
been organized, its charter being dated Octol)er 6, 1900. The
grave of the Revolutionary soldier whose name is borne by the
chapter is unmarked and untended. The first work of the
members will therefore be the care and adornment of this
neglected spot.

contributed to the Continental ^Memorial Hall fund and to the
Washington and La Fayette statues in Paris. It has appro-
priated a sum for l)uying historical books and periodicals for

adorn the walls of the public schools. The chapter is fortu-
nate in having the S3'mpathy and encouragement of the pro-
fessors of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. Mrs. J. H.
Mell (Annie White), wife of one of these professors, and
author of the article in our magazine referred to on p. 13t),

when it was learned that the men were sutiering foi- many
necessary' comforts.
On the second floor of the beautiful woman's club house,
built in the style of the early missions of California, the chap-
ter has established its headquarters, and furnished the room
with old colonial nrahogany. Since they have no si)ots of

Gen. John C. Fremont, ''the Pathfinder," whose widow is an
honorary member of the chapter.

sible, responded to requests for aid received from other organi-
zations. The treasurer, Mrs. G. H. Gray, was appointed to
represent the chapter as a member of the American Auxiliary
to the Cuban Provisional Red Cross. The director of the sol-
diers' lil)rary at Manila received $25 worth of stamps and sta-
tionery for the purpose of encouraging and facilitating the
correspondence of soldiers there stationed, who might other-
wise fail to communicate with friends at home. A gift of $15
was made toward the rent of the soldiers' library building
at Manila. One hundred boxes of reading matter were
secured through the etiorts of Mrs. Oscar Long, and were
sent to this library. Every book, magazine, and paper was
personally examined and approved l)y her l)efore forward-

added §10 to the maintenance of the soldiers' library at Manila,
while individual members have contributed many books.
On the retirement of Mrs. A. S. Hubbard (Sarah Isabelle
Sylvester) from the office of regent of Sequoia Chapter she
was the recipient of a cut-crystal silver-bound loving cup rest-
ing upon a silver-mounted mirror, presented by members of
the chapter in recognition of her untiring devotion to its
interests. (Plate 16.) The cup l)ears the following inscrip-
tion: "Sarah Isabelle Sylvester Hubbard, from the members
of the Sequoia Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion, San Francisco. Cal.. Jtmuary 9, 1899." A member of
this chapter contributed $25 to the Continental Memorial Hall
in 1S99.

Rt'port of Dauyldo's of the A/nerica/i Revolution. lo7
The only pulilic work has been the offer! no- of a prize of ^25
to the pupil of any high school in the state who \\ix\\ ^vrite
the best essay on Colorado from the earliest time to 1855, the
period of discovery and exploration. It is hoped that this will
stimulate the study of Colorado history, and lead to the pres-
ervation of objects and places of interest in the state.
Zebulon Pike Chapter, of Colorado Springs, 54 nieni])ers,
has grown constantly in nunil)ers, and under many ditiicidties,
which always exist in a new country, is trying to maintain the
spirit of the forefathers and f oremothers who made the repub-
lic. This is evinced by the gift during 1899 and 19U0 of $55
to the Continental ^Memorial Hall to be erected in Washington.
CONNECTICUT.
[Prepared by Mrs. Sara. T. Kinney, state regent of Connecticut.]
A statement of the relief work undertaken by the Connect-
icut chapters for the sick and wounded soldiers of the Spanish-
American war was incorporated in the second report of the
National Society Daughters of the American Revolution to the
Smithsonian Institution. (Fif\y-sixth Congress, tirst session,
Senate Document No. 425.) This statement recorded only
such sums of mone}-, and such supplies of food, garments, etc.,
as had been sent by the chapters to the state regent for dis-
tribution l\v her and l)}- the committees appointed to do this
work. Since then (November 1898) a supplementary report
has been submitted, which includes a statement of money
raised and expended b}" local (D. A. R.) conuuittees for legiti-
mate relief purposes, which appealed directly to the svmpa-
thies and purses of certain chapters. This sum amounts to
$3,045.69, and in addition to the gifts previously reported ])\
the state regent (|3,513.18) it can now be stated that the total
amount of money contril)uted in 1898 by the Connecticut
Daughters of the American Revolution for the relief of sick
and wounded soldiers was $7,158.87.
In 1897 the Connecticut chapters voted to publish a series
of illustrated sketches of their Patron, saints and Patriots^
daugJiters. Miss Mary P. Root, of the Katharine Gaylord
Chapter, was invited to edit the book, and a corps of ladies
from various chapters throughout the state was appointed
1(>8 Heport of Dauglders of t Jit American Revohitlfm.
to assist her in the work. The book is now completed, and
before this report is printed it will be ready for distribution.
It will contain from one to two hundred portraits and other
illustrations and about tire hundred pages of valuable histor-
ical and biographical matter. Its publication will cost the
Connecticut chapters about ^'2.000. Chapter work is reported
as follows:
Abigail Phelps Chapter, of Simsburv, 58 members, is en-
gaged in locating and marking the graves of Kevolutionary
soldiers in the vicinity of Simsburv, l)ut as the work is still
uncompleted, the report will not be submitted until next year.
As a token of their aliection and appreciation of her eti'orts
in behalf of the chapter, the mem))ers have presented their
regent, Mrs. Antoinnette P^no Wood, with a very beautiful
silver loving cup.
The contributions of this chapter and the regent together
make a total of §2,450 for the Continental Memorial Hall
fund since IS'.M).
Anna Warner Bailey Chapter, of Groton and Stonington.
has 145 members. Al)out five years ago the general assem-
bly of Connecticut contirmed the chapter's custodianship
(previously granted it by the Monument Association) of the
""Monmnent House," on the site of the Fort Griswold massa-
cre, at Groton.
During the winter of 18i)9 the general assembly voted that
the chapter should receive from the state an annual appro-
priation of i^oOO toward the maintenance of the ''Little Stone
House." The roof has been raised, and many desirable altera-
tions have i)een made in the building. (Plate IT.) The chapter
is now actively engaged in raising §5,000 with which to add
to the house a memorial annex in commemoration of the
heroic men who lost their li^•es in the Spanish-American war.
The chapter's petition to the United States Congress regard-
ing the ac((uisition of land adjoining Fort Griswold is to be
presented to the Seriate and House, respectively, by Senator
Hawlev and Kepresentative Russell.
A pamphlet entitled Whohullf fJn forts? written by ^liss
Mary F. Benjamin, was published by the chapter.
The cliapter gave §10 to the La Fayette statue in Paris.

foug'ht in the Revolutionarv wur. To further patriotism, and
promote a wider knowledge of the history of our country,
prizes arf> annually oliered to the pupils of the high school
and grammar school for the best historical essays.
Elizabeth Clarke Hull Chapter, of Ansonia, 105 memliers,
contributed toward the purchase of the Nathan Hale school-
house at New London, the ^Monument House at Groton, and
other similar objects.
It offers yearly prizes to the public school pupils for best
historical essay's, and contrilnites books of an historical nature
to the public library.

fund amounted to *^150 during 1899 and 190< >. They also gave
835 each for the Washington and La Fayette statues in Paris.
Elizabeth Porter Putnam Chapter, of Putnam, has 68 mem-
bers. The work of this chapter in connection with the pur-
chase and restoration of the famous wolf den is practically
completed, the approaches to the den alone remaining in a
somewhat unfinished state. The sum of $2,262 has been
expended by the chapter in its effort to preserve for future
generations the spot where "Old Puf' wrestled mightily
with the wolf. The chapter is also engaged in marking the
graves of Revolutionary soldiers.
Esther Stanley Chapter, of New Britain, has 90 members.
The interests of the adjacent towns of New Britain and Farm-
ington having once been identical, the records of New Britain
have to be looked for in the older and original town. These'
original records were found to be torn, many names only
partly legible, and in many places pages partly gone. In
order to make the search of these records a less difficult mat-
ter the historian of the chapter with great care has copied
them entire and in alphabetical order and presented them
to the chapter. The book represents the work of an entire
summer and will be of great value for future reference.
The chapter has contributed $100 to the Continental Hall
fund, and has presented to the New Britain high school four
pictures suitably framed, all copies o"f celebrated historical
paintings.
Eunice Dennie Burr Chapter, of Fairfield, has 32 members.
At an expense of $75 this chapter has recently placed a very

riveted a bronze tablet giving the dates of Fairtield's historic-
events. It has also restoi'ed a Revolutionary powder house
(plate 18) and marked it with a bronze tal)let, and is engaged
in marking other historic places. The stones in the old grave-
yard have been restored, a wall has ])een built around it, and a
handsome lich gate has l)een erected at the entrance. (Plate
19.) One hundred dollars has been contributed toward the
bidlding of Fairfield's memorial librar3\
Faith Trumbull Chapter, of Norwich. Ill members, has
located the graves of twenty French soldiers, a part of the
force under La Fayette, who died and were buried in the
vicinity of Norwich. An etiort will be made to ascertain the
names of these allies from across the sea, and their graves will
undoubtedly be suitaldy marked.
Fanny Ledyard Chapter, of j\Iystic, has 79 members. The
special work of this chapter is that of restoring and lieautifv-
ing the colonial and Revolutionary burial places in its vicinitv.
Contributions have been made to the Continental Hall fund,
the memorial annex of the Fort Griswold Monument House,
and toward the purchase of the Nathan Hale schoolhouse at
New London. A gift of §5 was sent to each of the funds for
the Washuigton and La Fayette statues in Paris.
Freelove Baldwin Stow Chapter, of Milford, has 76 mem-
bers. Aside from its generous contribution of ^115 to the
Continental Hall fund, and various sums to other patriotic
objects, the energies of this chapter are devoted to the lauda-
ble effort of securing a chapter house, which will be a memo-
rial to j\Iilford"s Revolutionar}' soldiers. As a token of its
appreciation of her tireless eH'orts in l)ehalf of the best inter-
ests of the chapter, the members have recently presented their
regent, Mrs, Mary Hepburn-Smith, with a very beautiful and
costly silver loving cup.
Green Woods Chapter, of Winsted. has 52 mem))ers. Since
October, isits, this chapter has cleaned, reset, and piit in order

Hannah "Woodruff Chapter, of Southington, 58 members, is
taking- a leading part in an effort to secure a public library for
the town of Southington, This is an enterprise which has
been discussed by the townspeople for several years, but it
remained for the Daughters of the American Revolution to
give the necessary impetus and bring the project to a head.
The chapter gave $10 to the Continental Memorial Hall
fund in 1900, and added $-1 to the Washington and -^5 to the La-
Fayette statue funds.
Judea Chapter, of ^^'ashington, has 25 members. Washing-
ton was once a part of the town of Woodbury, and it is an his-
toric fact that in 1776, by order of General Washington, every
able-bodied man between the ages of 16 and 60 in this and
other western towns in Connecticut was called into active
service, and marched to New York, and that Woodbury during
the entire war was the headquarters of recruiting service for
western Connecticut. It is not strange, therefore, that the
special interest of the Judea Chapter is in locating and mark-
ing the graves of Revolutionary soldiers, and a list of 32 such
gra\es is herewith submitted.

The marking- of these graves a few months since was the
occasion of appropriate services, patriotic music ])eing'sung',
and speeches made by United State Senator Orville H. Piatt,
Hon. Walter S. Logan, and others. A large gathering of
people joined in the exercises to honor the memory of the
patriots of the American Revolutionary war.

Lucretia Shaw Chapter, of New London. 155 members, has
contributed three hundred dollars toward the purchase of the
Nathan Hale schoolhouse. which is to be the chapter'.s future
home and meeting place. This building, still in good preserva-
tion, stands in New London, and is the one in which the In^y
martyr was teaching at the time of his enlistment for the war
of the Revolution. It has been purchased through the joint
eti'orts of the Connecticut Daughters and Sons of the Ameri-
can Revolution. The chapter has also undertaken the beau-
tifying of the Colonial and Revolutionary burial place in New
London, and has recently had the gravestone of Richard Law
reset at consideralile expense.
Mary Clap Wooster Chapter, of New Haven, has i>olt mem-
bers. On the 21:th of June. IS'.tM. this chapter placed a tine
bronze tablet (plate 20) upon the Zunder school building in New
Haven, which marks the site of theh()m(M)f (tcu. David Wooster
and Mary Clap Wooster, his \vif(\ the Revolutionary heroine
for whom tiie chaptei' is nauK^d. Some years ago the chapter
inaugurated the cu>tom -a custom which still exists — of hold-

morning of the Fourtli of July. This service is lurgcMy
attended bv nienihers of \':irious patriotic societies and by the
general public.
The chapter since the last report has contributed the sum
of $S5-i toward various patriotic objects — Continental Hail,
the Washington and LtFayette statues, the Nathan Hale
schoolhouse. etc. It has also presented complete sets of the
American Monthly Magazine for ls'.i4. Is'.','). 1s;m;, isnT. and
1898 to Yale University. Valuable historical papers have been
prepared by memliers of the chapter on such topics as the set-
tlement of Connecticut, its government, religious life, -and edu-
cational methods: also sketches of its early customs in coiuiec-
tion with marriages, baptisms, ami funerals, its niinistei-s.
doctors, and lawyers.
Committees from the chapter are l)usily engaged in the per-
plexing work of identifying the graves of Revolutionary
soldiers, but as this eii'ort to prove or disprove the identity
of such graves requires nuich time, patience, and great skill
in sifting the varied evidence, which must be obtained from
family Bibles, from town, church, and probate records, the
committees prefer at this time to simply report progress,
together with a list of 1.5 graves which have l:)een positively
identitied out of a total of over 50, all of them alleged to be
the graves of Revolutionarv soldiers.
The graves are in the Grove Street cemetery at New Haven,
and the names of the men are as follows:

Mary Floyd Tallmadge Chapter, of Litchtield. reports 30
members and work as follows:
A new librar}' building having been given to the town of
Litchtield for the use of its library, on condition that an en-
dowment fund be raised by the public sufficient to maintain it
as a free public library, this chapter has undertaken to aid in
the work of raising this fund, which is estimated at 840.000.
The chapter was organized in November, 1899, with 26 mem-
bers, and during the year ending December 8, 1900. it has
added |1,T57 to the said fund.
It has marked with a tablet an old oak tree, sole survivor of
the original forest which covered this region when Litchiield
was settled in 1T2<>.
It has framed its cliarter in wood taken from four historic
houses in this town — those of Oliver Wolcott, Col. Benjamin
Tallmadge, Ebenezer Marsh, one of the first inhal)itants
(1759), and of a participator in the "Boston Tea Party."
It is agitating the question of preserving from destruction
the shade trees of the highways.
Mary Silliman Chapter, of Bridgeport, has 224 members.
This chapter has assumed the support of a patriot's daughter
who is a member of the chapter, and it also has the care of
the grave of its patron saint (^Nlarv Gold Silliman) and of the
graves of thirteen Revolutionary soldiers in the Strattield
Cemeterv.
The Continental Memorial Hall fund rtn-eived .siod from
the chapter in 1899.
Mary Wooster Chapter, of Danbury. 89 members, has one
of the best-equipped chapter homes in Connecticut. (Plates
21, 22.) The regular meetings of the chapter are held therein,
and as the menage includes a kitchen and plentiful blue and
white china, dull care is often dri\(Mi away by social gather-
ings of the membei's and invited guests. The rooms contain
several cases of interesting colonial and Revolutionary relics,
which are open to the inspection of the general })ublic one
day in each week. During the yt'ar ll'tid an appropriation
>\as made by the chapt(n' for the ])ur]>ose of suitably marking
the graves of Revolutionary sol(li(M-s in the vicinity of Dan-

Melicent Porter Chapter, of Watorhuiy. luis 10,3 nienibcrs.
This chapter has recently .secured a room in the Bronsuii
Library Building, and nrany interestino- and historically
valuable relics have l)een placed therein. Miss Sarah Prich-
ard, a well-known writer, and a member of the chapter, has
presented to it the manuscript of a series of most interestino-
Revolutionary stories, which the chapter ha-> published. It has
also sent to ^Manila durino- the past year two large cases tilled
with clothing and other necessaries. A very promising ):> ranch
of the Children of the American Revolution has l)een organ-
ized under the auspices of the chapter. Their organizing, and
now honorary regent, Mrs, Stephen W. Kellogg, gave such
untiring thought, energy, and faithful service to the relief
measures for the suUerers in the Spanish- American war, that
in the spring of lOOo the chapter gave her a very beautiful
silver loving cup.
Norwalk Chapter, of Nor walk, 1^7 memliers. devotes a
good deal of attention to loctd history. In a town two hun-
dred and MX\ years old there are many places of historic
interest, and family traditions and relics are abundant. Vahi-
a))le papers on subjects relating to the town have been read at
many of their meetings, such as that on Etizahrth Fltd
Rogers, a patriotic woman of Revolutionary days, (Jolonidl
homes of W(Ito?}, Colonial hohux of Wc.stport, Isaac Stars,
and La Fayetteh visit to Omnecticat. It is an interesting-
fact that Nathan Hale started from Norwalk on his fatal
mission; his disguise was obtained there and a Norwalk boat
carried him across the Sound. In commemoration of his
life and death, the chapter has purchased, at a cost of $90<»,
a drinking fountain which will shortly Ije dedicated with
■ appropriate ceremonies. A stone has recently been placed to
mark the spot where the British landed at Fitch's Point, July
11, 1779. (Plate 23.) In commemoration of a battle on Flax
Hill. July 12. 1774. a natural bowlder was suita))ly marked
some time ago, but as the photograph was received too late
for our last report it is now reproduced on plate 24. It is the
annual custom of the chapter to award prizes of $5 in gold to
pupils in the public schools who write the best essa}' on some
topic concerning the American Revolution. In 1900 an addi-
tional prize of 8o was offered to the intermediate pupil sulj-
mittino- the best essav on Nathan Hale. This contest caused
lis Report <>f Jjauglittrs of the American RevohdUm.
even greater interest than the regular prize, since the subject
appealed especially to the youthful mind.
In October, 1S9S, the regent, ]Mrs. Samuel Richards Weed,
organized an historical and memorial library association, com-
posed of some of the most substantial citizens of Norwalk.
The hope is that from this beginning there will develop a
library and museum worth}^ of Norwalk's 20.000 inha])itants.
Committees from the Norwalk Chapter have identified the
graves of Revolutionary soldiers in Norwalk, Wilton, and
AVestport, as given in the following list. The page references
are to Connecticut men in the Revolution. MpTkers have
been placed at the graves of those indicated by a star.

(onneeticufs jjart in the Federal CemstitutloH, Franiri's of the

Harriet Vj. (t. Whitmore, a member of this chapter, has

alogy, entitled Meuiori(d of the l'indr<'d <(nd ancestry <fllar-
rift L. Sturges Goulden.
Sarah Ludlow Chapter, of Seymour, 50 members, during the
past two years has contributed $40 toward the La Fayette monu-
ment, the Nathan Hale schoolhouse fund, and similar objects,
and is locating the graves of Revolutionary soldiers in and
about Seymour. The grave of Phineas Johnson, a private in
the Revolutionary army, who died in iS-iO, has recently l)een
identified.
Sarah Riggs Humphreys Chapter, of Derb}^ has 124 mem-
bers. Mrs. Sarah Riggs Bowers married as her second
husband Rev. Daniel Humphreys, and was the mother of the
most distinguished man born in Derby, who took part in the
war of the American Revolution. Following the example
of holding in reverence the mother of Washington, when
choosing a name the members honored the chapter with that
of the mother of Gen. David Humphreys. When fram-
ing their charter they desired to preserve something of local
interest, and therefore the wood for the frame was taken
from the house where tradition tells us was born the second
white child in what is now the town of Derby, and an etching
of the structure is on the mat of the charter. The carved rib-
bon scroll across the top of the frame gives the name of Gen.
David Humphreys with the date of his birth, 1752, and death,
1818. In the upper corners are the heads of two Merino
sheep. General Humphreys, when minister to Portugal and
Spain, became convinced that Merino sheep could be intro-
duced into this country and would result in greath' improving
the quality of our home manufactured cloths. He purchased

storm oft' the hanks of Newfoundland. From the wool of these
sheep was made, at Derby, ])roadcloth for the suit Avhieh
Thomas Jeft'erson, third President of the United States, wore
at the ball when entering his second Presidential term of office.
An etching of General Humphreys's mill, where this cloth was
made, is on the mat of the charter. The carved distafl:' and
shears symbolize the son of their patroness as a manufacturer.
The crossed swords commemorate Colonel Humphreys's serv-
ices as aid-de-camp to General Washington, and the diplomatic
scroll resting upon the olive branch represents the twelve
years from lTl'(>to 18(i2 when General Humphreys peacefully
performed his duties as ambassador at the courts of Portugal
and Spain.
During the year lOoo this chapter expended >6i>o for books
for the historical lil)rary, and '^SS for work in the Colonial
Cemetery, for the statue of Washington, and for other similar
objects.
Jane de Forest Shelton. a meml)er of this chapter, pub-
lished in 1900 an interesting volume on early New England
life and manners, entitled The SaJt-Bo.v JLenise.
The Sibbil Dwight Kent (.'hapter. of Suffield, 58 members, is
devoting its energies to reclaiming the old burving place in
that town. This God's acre was laid out in 1(581, and in it a
large number of the Revolutionary ancestors of chapter meiu-
bers were Imried. The work of the committee includes the
cleaning, straightening, and in many instances resetting of 150
stones, with the necessary grading, at an expense of al)Out^T5.
The meml)ers have written many interesting papers relating to
the causes which have led to the dift'erent wars in which this
country has l)een engaged, and liberal contriliutions have been
made to patriotic and educational olijects. A gift of ^5 each
went into the Washington and La Fayette statue funds.

DELAWARE.
The four chapters in Delaware, Csesar Rodney, Colonel
Haslet, Elizabeth Cook asid John Pettigrew, are active in all
patriotic, phihuithropic, and charitable work. It is due to
the interest of these members that a sum of $1,000 was raised
in memory of Lieut. Clarke Churchman, son of the state
rooent, who fell in the Spanish-American war, at El Caney,
.Inly 1, 1S9S. Of this amount, $500 were expended in erect-
ino- a monument over his grave in the cemetery of the Mili-
tary Academy at AVest Point. (Plates 82-33.) The remaining
$500 was invested in the name of the trustees of Delaware
College as a trust fund, the interest of which is to be applied
anmially for a^ Lieutenant Clarke Churchman prize medal.
This prize is to be presented at each commencement to that
student who shall ha\e tittained the greatest efficiency in
military st-icnce. The chapters are also charter mem])ers of
the (jrcorgc AN'ashington Memorial Association and contribute

to the Continental Memorial Hall fund in 1898, and %\{) more
in 190(). The flag of the Haslet Guards, carried in the civil
war, has been presented to the chaptei". Gifts have Ixhmi
made to the Army Relief Societ}" and to the fund for the Del-
aware room at Mount Vernon. Historical papers are written
for almost every meeting.
Elizabeth Cook Chapter, of Smyrna, 25 members, is named
in honor of a noble woman, whose father during the3"ears ITTii-
1787 was successively high sherifl', soldier, statesman, judge,
senator, and president of Delaware. When 13 3'ears old
she assisted in the knitting and spinning done in her father's
house for the comfort of the Continental soldiers. Fre-
quently she rode many miles through the lonely woods to
Belmont Hall to help her cousins in molding bullets, with
which her relatives helped to defend the colony and iXv/w
homes. The Cook mansion and Belmont Hall are still stand-
ing in good preservation, and the old tireplace where the
bullets were molded is still shown to visitors. Her husband.
Capt. Ebenezer Cloke, titled out a privateer to flght against
the British, but was captured, contined in one of the prison
ships, and died from the fever there contracted.
During the war of 1812, when the British were expected to
come up Delaware Bay and Smyrna Creek, she put muskets
in the hands of her sons and said: "My bo^^s, you must go
at once." They went with a company commanded b}- John
Clark, her sister's husband.
In memory of her zeal the chapter has made contributions
to the funds for the Continental Memorial Hall, for the prison-
ship martj^rs at Fort Greene, Long Island, N. Y., to tlic
George Washington Memorial Association, and to the pur-
chase of Meadow Garden farm at Auirusta, Ga.

Army and Navy Chapter, of Washington, 106 members, con-
tinues with undiminished zeal its relief work among the fami-
lies of the soldiers and saihjrs of the Regular Army and Navy.
Between September, 18l»9, and Ma}^ 1900, the ladies assisted
l() families at an expense of |8T6. The funds for the purpose
were raised l;>y several entertainments and l)y circulars of
appeal sent to the other chapters. They have assisted soldiers
or their widows to secure the pensions due them, and have
given employment to needv soldiers' widows in many instances.
In January. 1900, the ladies estal)lished a luncheon and tea
room, 'or more properlv a woman's exchange, where those
skilled in some culinary specialty could In'ing their Avork for
sale. After the first month it was necessary to find and fur-
nish larger accommodations. The house No. T?A Seventeenth
street was selected, and has since been known as the "Tea
Cup Inn.'' All protits are devoted to relief work, and the
emplovees of the esta1)lishment are, as far as possible, women
and young people from the families of soldiers and sailors.
Over tiiJOO were expended in salaries.
On Friday, February 9, 1900, a beneiit was given at the
Empire Theater in New York, and ^3,056, one-half the pro-
ceeds, were given to the San Yoi'l' Ilepald for the relief
work of the Spanish-American war. The ITeixdd .selected
this chapter to disburse the fund. At the request of Mrs.
Frohman, wife of the manager of the theater, $500 was sent to
the chairman of the Philippine branch of the relief conuuitte(>.

ment g'iven in 1000 l)y the District chapters for that object.
Continental Chapter, of Washino-ton. 67 members, conti'ibu-
ted $25 to the Memorial Hall fund in 1809, $25 more in 10<»0
at the congress, and $10 at one of the entertainments. Two
chapter meml)ers had charge of two tables for a week during
one of the entertainments given for the fund. Six hundred
china cups were sold hx the chapter members for the same
cause. Seventy-four garments were sent to destitute women
and children in Cu])a. and 100 pieces of clothing were sent to
the sutferers by the disaster at Galveston, in October, lOOO.
Dolly Madison Chapter, of AVashington, 57 members, gave
$15 for the Cul)an Provisional Red Cross and $80 to the
National ,Junior Republic, lately established between Wash-
ington and Baltimore. To the Continental Memorial Hall
$20.70 w^ere given, besides several life memberships.
Elizabeth Jackson Chapter, of Washington. 10 members,
contributed money from its slender treasury to purchase mate-
rials for children's clothing. The garments were cut and made
Ijv members of the chapter and sent to General Sanger to be
distributed among the destitute children in CuT)a. The chap-
ter has assumed the care of the library in the house at Rockv-
hill, N. J., at one time Washington's headquarters, and the
place where his farewell address was written. A carpet and
curtains were purchased by the chapter, and individual mem-
bers have tilled the rooms with valuable relics. ]Much atten-
tion is given to the stud}^ of parliamentary law under the
direction of Miss Mary Desha, regent. A fund is being- raised
for a memorial window to be placed in the Continental Hall
when that is erected.
Martha Washington Chapter, of Washington, has 52 mem-
bers. Its record during- the period between October 11, Isilb,
and October 11, 1900, is but brief. In the Continental Con-
gress of 1899, the regent. Miss Lilian Pike, in the name of the
chapter, pledged $10 for the Continental Hall fund, which
amount was paid on April 3, 1899. On November 24, 1899, the
chapter paid into the hands of the state regent, Mrs. Alden.
another sum of $l0 for the Continental Hall fund; in addition to
which it took its full share of the trouble and expense incident to
184 Ittport of Damjhti r>< of tJte American Hevnhitlon.
the getting- up of an entertainment given by the District chap-
ters for the benelit of that fund on the Tth and 8th of December,
1S1»1». During the Continental Congress of 1900 the District
chapters prepared and served lunch, the net proceeds of which
were devoted to the Continental Hall fund. The chapter,
therefore, did not contribute any separate sum to that fund at
that time, but has always l)een ready and willing to work for
that or any other patriotic purpose.
Mary Washington Chapter, of Washington, 217 members, is
the oldest and largest in the District. It ofiers an annual prize
of a gold medal to the graduates of the Washington high
schools for the l)est essay on American history, embracing
the period of the Revolution. (Plate 34.) The iirst successful
competitor was Whitmell F. TunstalL and the subject Jlie
Auorii-dn I'rrol iiftoi) i(>i a r/v'.v/.s- i/t the Individual freedom of
nian. The second year the prize was won by Alice R. Smith,
the paper entitled From j_)rote^i to dcfano:-. At the grad-
uating exercises of the public schools at Convention Hall
these medals were presented Ijy Elizabeth Brvant Johnston,
chairman of committee on essays. The competition for the
medal has aroused most gratifying' interest, and the literary
standard of the essays is high. This chapter is selling a map
of Waketield, Westmoreland County. Va.. the birthplace of
Washington. The Coast Survey made a map of this farm and
after distriltuting copies ordered the plates destroyed. Before
this was done, 200 prints were bought by the chapter through
Mrs. O. H. Tittmann. and these are sold for the benefit of the
Mary Washington Moimment fund. This chapter, through
the eli'orts of ]SIrs. J. Eakin Gadsby, is selling for the Conti-
nental Hall fund photographs made from an authentic portrait
of Mary Ball, the mother of Washington.
Miriam Danforth Chapter, of Washington, l«i members,
has for its regent Mrs. Amos G. Drtiper (Bell ^Merrill), whose
war work was recorded in our report for 1898. At that time
she was a memlier of the Brownson Chapter of Vermont, and
her literary work for 1899 will lie mentioned in the report of
that chapter. During the last year she has compiled a list of
Massachusetts pc^ople who loaned money to the Government
and who were reim])ursed therefor "agreeable to the resolve
of Congress, Januar}' 2, 1779." It is based on unpublished

GEORGIA.
Owing- to the lapse of time and the ravag'cs of war the
archives of Georgia are in a fragnn'iitary and dilapidated con-
dition, scattered and torn and crund)ling- to dust; but ])efore
manj^ years ai"e over the ellorts of the "Daughters''' will
have dragged these priceless records from their moldy hiding-
places, and it is hoped that they will soon be secured from
further harm by preservation in print.
The first annual state conference of the Georgia chapters was
held iir Atlanta, May 23 and 2.1, 18!»9, Mrs. Rol)ert Emery
Park'(Emil3^ Hendree), State regent, presiding. The subject
of these perishing records was much discussed at this meet-
ing, and a committee was appointed to make an inventory of
all the records which have escaped obliteration. The com-
mittee consisted of Mrs. William LawsonPeel (Lucy Cook),
of Atlanta; Mrs. Edward W. Karow (Anna Belle), of Savan-
nah; Mrs. T. M. Green (Metta Andrews), of Washington.
Circulars of appeal and inquiry were sent to the clerks and
ordinaries of the older counties, and the answers received
showed that considerable interest in the old records had been
aroused, and that much valuable historical material still
remains amid the dust and cobwebs of the old court-houses.
Mrs. Karow felt a special interest in publishing the man-
uscripts in the possession of the Georgia Historical Societ}^
of Savannah. Mrs. Peel, daughter of one of Georgia's secre-
taries of state and sister of another, resolved to reclaim from
oblivion the names of the Revolutionary soldiers in the state
archives, to whose neglected condition her stirring words had
previousl}' called attention. Mrs. Green devoted her ert'orts
to the preservation of county records. Mrs. Park, of ^lacon,
state regent and chairman of the committee, had a I)ill pre-
sented before the legislature asking for an appropriation
1?>6 Report of Dini</Jifri's offjw American Revolutfou.
for collecting, copying-, and preserving tiiese old documents.
The work of these four ladies may l)e considered the founda-
tion of whatever is accomplished in the future toward restor-
ing, for the use of the state, records which would otherwise
soon disappear forever.
The work of our society has always been hamperc^d in
southern states by dithcidty in proving the service of ances-
tors in the Revolutionary war. Until the records of these
states are published, it is almost an impossibility to tind the
documentary proof necessary to establish the fact of an ances-
tor's actual service, though successive generations of his
descendants may have cherished the tradition of his prowess
as their most precious family heritage.
Those difficulties were explained in an article published
some years ago in our magazine by Mrs. Patrick H. Mell
(Annie A¥hite), of Anl)urn, Ala. This article attracted the
attention of Mrs. Peel, of the compiler of this report, and of
Miss Margaret B. Harvey, of Merion Chapter, PennsAdvania.
The latter determined to reconstruct for the Georgia "Daugh-
ters" a list of the state's Revolutionary soldiers.
For this purpose she studied all available histories and
biographies of Georgia, records in the Pension Office at
Washington, and various unpul>lished manuscripts. Her list
of more than ^,000 names was beautifully illustrated and
presented to floseph Habersham Chapter. ^Meanwhile the
records in the office of the secretary of state of Georgia were
copied under the direction of Mrs. Peel, funds for the pur-
pose having been furnished by members of the Atlanta and
Piedmont Continental chapters.
On comparing the two lists the compiler discovered that
very many names appear in ))oth. Thus one list corrobo-
rates the other. The list prepared in the office of the sec-
retar}^ of state shows many names several times repeated,
because they were ft)und on diU'erent rosters, owing to the
short periods of service. It is now impossible to determine
how many ditferent men may ha\'e borne the same names.
It therefore seemed ))est to print that list as it stood.
This list, indorsed by the secretary of state of Geoi'gia, ap-
pears in Appendix E. The list prepared by Miss Har\'ey
Hepoii of Dduijhfti'x of ill)' AmevH-an Ilcrohithm. V^l
has been shortened ])v ernninatinn' names and titles icUnitieal
with those in ]\Irs. Peel's list. It forms AppiMulix F. He-
liable historians vary as to the number of these nuMi. from
2,679 continentals, with S,000 militia, rangers, etc., to o,00(^
men all told. Allowing for all repetitions and variations of
the same name, the two appendices show a mean between
these two extremes, and are as nearlv complete a record of
the Georgia soldiers in the Revolution as can now Ix' made.
Both lists in full, stamped with the state seal, are deposited
with the secretary of state of Georgia. It is hoped that the
legislature ma}^ see lit to publish them, with the accompanying
vouchers, as volume one of the archives of the state.
Atlanta Chapter, of Atlanta, 15.") members, is the mother
chapter of the state, and the other chapters in the city ai-c
largely composed of women who were first admitted to the
societ}^ through Atlanta Chapter. The duplicate of Craigie
House, mentioned in our first report as the home of the
chapter, was repaired in IS'jy and 1900, at a cost of $125.
A gift of $10 was made to the La Fayette statue, and a large
box of books was sent to the soldiers in the Philippines.
Through error, our report for 1897-98 gave the impression
that this chapter contributed $50 for copying the records,
and that the grand jury at Atlanta had recommended an
appropriation for publishing these treasures. The money
was really given b}^ members of Atlanta and Piedmont Con-
tinental chapters, but not 1)}^ either chapter as a body. It
was the grand jmy of Wilkes County which recommended
the appropriation for copjdng records.
Augusta Chapter, of Augusta, 70 members, has contril)uted
to the monument to Reul^ena Hyde Walworth, the heroic
nurse from Saratoga Chapter, New York, who gave her life
in caring for the soldiers at Montauk Point during the Spanish-
American war. It has also given $500 toward the purchase
of Meadow Gardens. Since the property was bought by the
National Society the chapter has been restoring the old house
to its original condition.
Joseph Habersham Chapter, Atlanta, 41 members, though
organized less than one 3'ear, has accomplished good ^vork.
The limit of 60 resident members has been reached. More

than 100 women have been assisted in their search for records
which would enable them to join other chapters. A weekly
department of history and genealogy has been estaljlished in
the Atlanta Con^'^tltut/o)), similar in character to Xotes and
Queries^ but devoted more exclusively to southern pedigrees.
A contribution of ^1(»0 was given to the Continental ^Memorial
Hall fund. Mrs. Peel was the organizing regent. The chap-
ter owns the two copies of the Revolutionary soldiers' names,
which are deposited with the state for safe keeping.
Macon Chapter, of Macon, IT members, has the unique dis-
tinction of a "real daughter," Mrs. Mary A. Washington, as
its regent. The state regent, Mrs. Robert E. Park (Emily
Hendree), is also on its roll. A second contribution to the
Continental Memorial Hall was made b}^ a member of this
chapter at the congress of IHOO.
Oglethorpe Chapter, of Colum])us, 61 members, has given
^30 to the Continental Memorial Hall fund, and has rendered
a notable service to the state and to the nation by rediscover-
ing the original seal of the trustees of the colony as granted
in 1732. George White, the historian of Georgia, states that
this original seal of the trustees had two faces, one for legis-
lative acts, deeds, and commissions, and the other, the com-
mon seal, for grants, orders, certificates, and other similar
documents. The device on the first, as described by White
on page 3]!> of his lUdor'ieal ColJecHons <f (jreonjla. con-
sisted of two figures resting upon urns, and representing the
two rivers, Savannah and Altamaha, the northeastern and
southwestern boimdariesof the province. Between these was
seated the genius of the colony, a li))erty cap upon her head,
a spear in one hand and a cornucopia in the other, with the
inscription "^ Colon'ai (jroi'tjla Amj.^^ White also gives a pic-
ture of this face of the seal. (Plate 35, tig. 2.)
He further describes the other face of the seal as a repre-
sentation of silkworms, some beginning and others completing*
their labors, and quotes the motto as "' Xini slhl xtd alli><.^^ but
no picture of this face of the seal is given.
When preparing the tirst yearbook of the chapter in 1895,
the regent. Miss Anna Cai'oline Beiming, determined to have the
two faces of the seal printed on the two covers of the book, but

diligent search failed to discover any picture of the coninioii
seal. No libraiy in the country seems to possess a copy, and
letters to the best authorities elicited but the same discour-
aging" answer '' not to be found." Therefore, the booklet was
printed with the seal for legislative acts, as pictured by
White, on one cover and the present arms of the state on the
other. But Miss Benning did not give up the search, and
with the help of the historian of the chapter, ^Nliss Bett}"
Brainerd Blackmar; the corresponding secretary, Mrs. C. J.
Edge, and Mrs. A. C. Blackmar, wax impressions of both
faces of the original seal were obtained from documents in
England. (Plate 85, tigs. 1 and 3.) To the surprise of all, the
seal for legislative acts, though similar, is not identical with
that given in White's Historical Collections. That must have
been drawn from the description and not from the original.
Piedmont Continental Chapter, of Atlanta, 53 members, has
contri))uted to the funds for the Washington and the La
Fayette statues presented to France at the Paris Exposition
on July 3 and -l, 1900, and made a second gift to the Conti-
nental Memorial Hall fund in 1900.
Pulaski Chapter, of Grilhn, 15 meml)ers, was named in
honor of Count Pulaski, who died at the siege of Savannah
during the Revolution. The birthday of this gallant soldier
was the 1th of March. The chapter therefore meets on the
l:th day of ever}" month. It has endeavored to work for the
improvement of the members, to keep fresh the memory of
brave ancestors, and to acquire the knowledge necessary to a
full appreciation of the noble heritage bequeathed by the fore-
fathers through their lives of hardship and self-sacrifice.
Savannah Chapter, of Savannah, 37 members, has under-
taken the patriotic and important work of printing Revolu-
tionary records in the custody of the Georgia Historical Soci-
ety. These valuable documents are fading and falling to decay,
and only the greatest care has preserved them even thus long.
The proceedings of the Council of Safety of Georgia have
already been typewritten, and as soon as some necessary addi
tions have been made they will be printed in an edition of 500
copies. A certain number of these will be used in exchange
with the libraries of other states. The book will appear as
one of the series of Collections of the Georgia Historical

Society, and a lino in tlie liy leaf is all that will show the
connection of the chapter with the work, though the ladies
supplied the whole of i^l3S needed for printing- this beautiful
])Ook, and much of the copying was done by the hand of the
reo-ent, Mrs. Annie Karow. Even so, the ladies ai'e glad to
have the book printed, for it will then be availal)le for refer-
ence. A contribution was made to the ]Meadow (larden farm
fund, and the chapter is pledged to raise for the monument of
General Oglethorpe an amount proportionate to that given by
the Colonial Dames and the Sons of the Revolution.
Sergeant Newton Chapter, of Covington, IT members, is
named for the brave 3"oung standard bearer, Sergt. Jasper
Newton, who planted on the defenses of Charleston the banner
of the Second South Carolina Regiment, but fell in its defense.
Susannah Elliott Chapter, of La Gi'ange, IT members, is
named in honoi' of that »South Carolina woman who presented
to the Second South Carolina Regiment a banner made by her
own hands — the same banner that was planted upon the
defenses of Charleston by Sergt. Jasper Newton. It is the
wish of this chapter to art)use interest in the project of plac-
ing in the Statuary Hall of the National Capitol some statues
of the great men of the south.
Wilkes County Chapter, of Washington, 14 members, has
accomplished nuich good work, the most important being the
purchase of that part of the Ixittle ground of Kettle Creek
known as AVar Hill. It contains about 14 acres, and was the
spot where the heaviest lighting occurred one hundred and
twenty-one years ago. The engagement occurred on Febru-
ary 14, 1TT9. The British conmiander was Colonel Boyd, who
had TOO men in action, with a reinforcement of 600 men a few
miles distant. The Americans, numbering 500 men, were
commanded bj^ General Pickens, of South Carolina, assisted
l)y Elijah Clark and John Dooly, of Wilkes County. The
British were surprised and defeated. Colonel Boyd being killed
on the field. This victory saved Georgia at that crisis. As
soon as possible the chapter intends to improve the property.
Much interest in the records of Wilkes County was aroused
through the efforts of this chapter; and since the regent, jNlrs.
T. M. Green, was made secretar}" of the state conmiittee on
records, this interest has been extended throughout all the

for.
Xavier Chapter, of Rome, 30 members, has distributed
books, magazines, and papers, through the school commis-
sioners, to the county school teachei's and pupils who needed
and appreciated them. In 1S1>0 a medal was awarded ])y a
memljer of this chapter to the public school pupil who AS'rotc
the best essay on an assigned subject in Revolutionary history.
Two prizes, one to the city and one to the county schools, arc
to be offered this year. During the past year the chapter has
been trying to erect a monument on the site of a famous battle
with the Indians, Tnit an accident at the quarry prevented the
accomplishment of their purpose in time for this report.

Amor Patriae Chapter, Streator, 23 members, has signed the
petition for a national university, presented by our national
university committee. A contribution of $10 was made to the
Continental ^Memorial Hall fund in June, 181)9. A gold medal
has been offered for two successive years to the high school
pupils for the best essay on a patriotic subject, and prizes of
books have been given to the eighth grade pupils for like
essays. The chapter members have also seen to it that the
national airs are plaj^ed at the open-air concerts given during
the summer, and have petitioned the public school board to
have these songs made a special feature in the schools.
Chicago Chapter, of Chicago, 713 members, has given $100
to the \iSi Fayette monument, $100 to the Washington statue,
and $537.50 to the Continental Hall fund since the close of the
last report. During nine 3'ears of its existence 924 members
have been enrolled, but of these some have died and some have
withdrawn to other chapters, leaving the present membership
as stated above. There are 1:7 life members. About 40,000
books and magazines were sent to Manila for distribution in
the United States army and navy hospitals.
The chapter has begun the collection of large framed pho-
tographs illustrating American histor}'. The collection is to
travel from one public schoolroom to another in the city of
Chicago, under the auspices of the Chicago Public School Art
142 Re]y>/'f of Davgliters of the American Bevolutioji.
Society. Each frame has a brass plate, stating that it is the
gift of the Chicago Chapter of the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Rcvohition. About $100 has been spent thus far for this
purpose.
For several 3^ears the chapter has given a pension of $12
each month to a ''real daughter," who is UO vears of age and
in destitute circumstances.
A course of lectures, on 2Ien who made the nation, was
delivered b}'^ Prof. Edwin Clark, of the Universit^'^ of Chicago,
and paid for b}" the chapter. Another course b}" the same
authority, upon American histofy in American literature,
will be given during the coming winter.
Decatur Chapter of Decatur, 10 members, gave $25 to the
Continental Hall fund in August, 1899. The chai^ter was not
organized in time for the last report, but its interest in the
work of the society is of goodly proportions.
The ladies have added to the public library, and a new
school soon to be located at Decatur received $25 from this
chapter. A number of pictures have been placed in the pub-
lic schools, and two prizes of $5 each are ofi'ered this year in
the high and seventh-grade schools.
Dixon Chapter, of Dixon, 10 members, has given prizes
to the pupils of the high schools who wrote the l)est essays on
anj' one of live historical subjects. The prizes were casts for
the permanent embellishment of the schoolrooms. Casts of
Washington, Lincoln, and Grant have been given as the result
of this competition.
Dorothy Q,iiincy Chapter, of Quincy, 24 memliers, gave $10
to the Continental Hall fund in 1900, and has lately taken
up the study of state history. The chapter made a strong
but unavailing protest when the syndicate of a bare new cem-
etery, called Graceland. removed from their places in beautiful
Woodland cemetery the remains of the soldiers of the civil
wai'. The matter Avas managed s(^ adroitly that the removal
was accomplished befoi'e it was generally known.

celebration of Washington's birthday.
Two larg'e boxes, containing- 100 pajamas, stationery, stamped
envelopes, and other articles of use and conifort, were sent to
the soldiers in hospitals at Manila during- the winter of 1900.
This winter the chapter expects to begin the formation of an
alcove of Americana in the public library of Evanston, to be
called the "Fort Dearborn alcove."
George Rogers Clark Chapter, of Oak Park, 59 members,
has helped to raise a fiuid for placing in the high school por-
traits of two young' patriots, graduates of the school, who gave

since left the town. This one grave — that of George Rank —
is therefore the only one which can be marked with tlowers
and flags on ^lemorial Day. But this is done each year and
additional tlowers are placed around the statue of the Resur-
rection in memory of the other three Revolutionary soldiers,

who once occupied the land where Xew Albany now stands.

English and the sk}" of their councils had become misty and
never clear, the Master of Life had sent as father among them
Col. Georg-e Rogers Clark. As they desired him to remain

The Baltimore Chapter, of Baltimore, 14:0 iiioinbers, has
offered for the past three 3"ears a prize medal of gold to
arouse interest in history among the pupils in the public
schools. The success of their effort may be fairly estimated
by the fact that 45 essays were offered in competition for
the prize during the third year. A collection of books wtis
sent to the island of Guam for the use of the soldiers stationed
there. The chapter gave $25 to the Mount Vernon Associa-
tion in 19nO and $1(»0 were sent to the treasury of the national
society for the Memorial Hall fund. This makes $15u thus
far contributed by this chapter for this purpose.
Frederick Chapter, of Frederick, 2^» members, suffered in
October, IS'.KS, a great loss in the death of their beloved regent,
Mrs. John Ritchie. On May 22, 1899, a large silver baptismal
bowl was presented to All Saints Protestant Episcopal Church,
of Frederick, in memory of her devoted service and exalted
character. The inscription on one side of the bowl is as
follows:

At our coiig-ress of 1900 the chapter gave 850 to the Conti-
nental Hall fund to perpetuate the memory of Mrs. Ritchie
in connection with this Iniildino-. alwut which will gather
tender and patriotic memories of all our members.
The chapter is now working to raise funds for a tablet to
])e placed in the court-house at Frederick to commemorate the
sterling worth of the twelve intrepid judges of that coui't,
who, on November ;^o. 1T»)5. pronounced a decision against
the validity of the Stamp Act.
Maryland Line Chapter, of Baltimore. 36 members, still
continues its eftorts. mentioned in our first report, to erect a
memorial to the soldiers of the ^laryland Line, who have thus
far had no monument to connnemorate their gallant service.
The fund for this purpose has now reached the sum of 8110.31.
and the ladies hope to increase it during the coming year. At
the congress of 1900 a contribution of 835 was given to the
Continental Memorial Hall fund.
The grave of Colonel Kamsay has been identified in the

Peggy Stewart Tea Party Chapter, of Annapolis. 15 mem-
bers, is studying the local history of Annapolis with great inter-
est and profit. Members whose families possess old diaries
written in colonial davs have lirought out these treasures
and have read them at the chapter meetings, and the quaint
phrases of the writers, long since dead, have made the events
described nuich more vivid to the hearers than any modern
account could be. The ladies are now trying to raise the sum
needed for a suitable tal)let to V)e placed upon the house where
lived the owner of the famous brig I\ggy Strwart. liurned
Octol)er lit. 1771. to prevent the sale of the tea with which
she had ])een freighted in England.

Folger. mother of Benjamin Franklin. By indefatigal>le
ettorts thev accuuudated a small fund for a memorial in her

honor. This linally took the form of a o-i-anite drinking
fountain, erected beside the Madaket road, to mark the site
of tliis loyal woman's home. Men and women of Nantucket
ancestry, members of other Massachusetts chapters, the Onon-
daga Chapter, of New York, the Penns^dvania Society of
Colonial Dames of America, and the Pennsylvania Historical
Association, all helped to make the project successful. The
Old Colony Commission gave a beautiful bronze tablet,
affixed to a granite slab, to bo inserted in the back of the foun-
tain. The memorial was dedicated on September 3, 1900, with
fitting ceremony, and presented to the selectmen of the town.
The town meeting will arrange to supply the fountain with
water. (Plate 36..)
Abigail Adams Chapter, of Boston. I'l-^ memliers, makes
the study of revolutionary history the special o])iect of its
meetings. For this purpose lectures by eminent historians
have been given. A contribution has been made for a tablet
on the tomb of Abigail Adams, and the mendiers ever hold
themselves ready to enlist in the interest of any cause which
seems suitable and worthy of attention.
Betty Allen Chapter, of Northampton. Qo members, packed
and forwarded four boxes of books and magazines to Capt.
W. M. Wright, at Cienfuegos. Cuba, for the use of soldiers
stationed there. A barrel of similar contents was sent to the
soldiers at Guam.
Betsey Ross Chapter, of Lawrence. 36 memliers, is named
in honor of the woman who made the first Hag of our nation
and was for years the official flag maker of the country.
Boston Tea Party Chapter, of Boston, 8:2 members, has con-
tributed $50 to the Continental Memorial Hall fund. The
grave of David Decker, a member of the original "Boston
Tea Party," was suitably marked in 1S99. hy a bronze marker
costing $12. The fund for the Cuban teachers received an
addition of $10, and another $10 was given for the preserva-
tion and restoration of Mount Vernon. The Tea Leavt'><^
the chapter paper, is issued monthly and contains many items
of interest.
Bunker Hill Chapter, of Boston, ^T) members, has given
$30 to the Memorial Hall to be erected in Washington, $1 for
the floral gift to Admiral George Dewey% $10 for preserving
160 Report of Daughters of the American Revolution.

Col. Thomas Lothrop Chapter, of Cohasset, -tS members, held
an instructive loan exhibit and provided a patriotic lecture for
the public. The sum of |16 was sent to Cambridge to help
defrav the expenses of the Cu])an teachers who came to this
country to study our educational methods.
Col. Timothy Bigelow Chapter, of Worcester, 20 members,
has continued its search for the graves of Worcester men in
the Revolution. Diligent perusal of the records has shown
that there were 361 of these, after all duplicates have been
rejected. The graves of 75 of this number have been found,
and 10 more are known to have been killed in battle, thus
accounting for S5 in all. It is probable that 29 others w^ere
l)uried in Worcester; the location of their graves has not yet
l)een discovered, Init the search will long be continued. In
prosecuting this work, the ladies found that one whole com-
pany of 53 men from Worcester, enlisted in 1776 for service
in New York State, was unrecorded in the state records. A
certified copy of the original muster roll was forwarded to the
custodian of records at Boston. Thus the work of investiga-
tion goes on, slowly and carefully, conducted b,y this sober,
purposeful, working chapter, which has already accomplished
something of value, and looks forward to further opportu-
nities for fair achievement. The list of names rescued from
oblivion will probal)ly appear in next year's report.
On Octol)er 3, li»(Hi, the chapter united with the Worcester
Society of Antiquity, and other patriotic citizens, in placing
a fine gray granite memorial stone in Salislnu-y street. Worces-
ter, to mark the birthplace of the historian George Bancroft.
The regent of the chapter, ]\Irs. Daniel Kent (Georgia Tyler),
was one of the committee \vhich selected the stone, and pre-
parcnl for })ul)licati()n the report of the exercises on this
occasion.

lets and other memorials w^ere to be erected. The frame of
its charter is made of wood sent from all of the original thir-

teen states, and is unique in many ways. On April 19, l!»0(),
a most successful loan exhibit was Ik^IcI. The chapter has
established headquarters in the center of tiic town and has
started the nucleus of a permanent collection of relics. The
gem of the collection is a large case tilled with dainty em-
broideries and lacework wrought by the busy housewi\es of
Waltham at the time of the Revolution. This handiwork is u
marvel of lineness and ))eauty and will soon ))e the property
of the chapter.
Faneuil Hall Chapter, of Boston, 65 members, contributed
to the Mary Washington monument, to the Reubena Hyde
Walworth monument, to the statues of Washington and
La Fayette in Paris, to the Continental Memorial Hall, and
has responded to all other appeals for aid in any patriotic
work b}" an appropriation from its treasury. During the past
year the chapter has sustained a class in the history of the
colonial period of our country, and the graves of many Revo-
lutionary soldiers have been identified.
The chapter was represented by one of its members at
the unveiling of the Washington and La Fayette statues in
Paris, and commissioned her to place a wreath on the tomb
of La Fayette (plate 7). The charter frame is composed of
woods from Faneuil Hall, the old State House, the old Boston
Elm, the old North Church, and from our new possessions in
Hawaii and Porto Rico.
Pictures of historic as well as artistic inten-st have l)een
placed in the high schools of Melrose and Waketield, Mass.
In May, 1900, an elm was planted with special ceremonies in
the Melrose high-school grounds in honor of Mrs. Mary A.
Livermore. The tree is known b}' her name.
Framingham Chapter, of Framingham, 62 meml)ers, con-
tributed to the fund for the Cuban teachers, and held a tine
loan exhibit of relics. It is raising a fund for the erection of
a monument to the Revolutionar}^ soldiers of the town. Sixty

marked T)y the town authorities. The chapter has also
assumed the patriotic dut}' of decorating the graves with

Fort Massachusetts Chapter, of North Adains, 65 iiieuibors.
perpetuates the memor}' of the western fort in a line of
defenses along the northern border of the state, erected to
protect the scattered inhaljitants from the raids of th(^ French
and Indians across the border. The fort was l)uilt in 1745.
and consisted of a strong- stockade of pine logs doweled
together, surrounded by a Inroad ditch, and having a bloc-k-
house and watchtower at the northeast corner. This fort was
luider the command of Capt. Ephraim Williams, who was
afterwards killed at Lake George. In 1750 the Government
granted him 200 acres of land in the towns of Adams and
Williamstown. When he made his will he gave these lands
and other propert}' for founding a free school among the set-
tlers. In later years this has developed into Williams College,
situated -t miles from the fort site, which is about a mile and
a half from North Adams.

Prudence Wright Chapter, of Pepperell, 63 members, erected
on April 19, 1900, a liberty pole (Plate 38) on the Common
near the spot where the citizens of the town erected a pole on
Auo'ust 29, 177-4, and floated a flag of blue and red cloth "five
breadths wide," because their liberties were in danger. Dur-
ing most of the years since that date, there has been a liberty
pole on the Common. But the last one was removed some
years ago. The new one is a source of great satisfaction to
the townspeople. The pole and flags cost almost $27.5. The
flag is displayed on tifteen or twenty patriotic anniversaries
during each year, and an account of the historical event thus
commemorated is published in the local paper just l)efore the
historic day. The story of Prudence Wright has been writ-
ten by a chapter memlier, and the interest it aroused led to its
being read in four neighboring towns, and Anally printed. A
contribution of $25 was made to the Continental Memorial
Hall fund in 1900.
A camera committee is making a collection of photographs
of historic sites and places.

jects have been placed in the town lilirary for reference.
On May 25, 1S99, a bronze tablet was placed on the Avail of
the City Hall to mai'k the approximate site of the battle of
Fall River (Plate 39). The inscription is as follows:
The battle (jf Fall River was fought near this site INIay 25, 1778. A small
conipauy of Americans were attacked by 150 British, whom they bravely
reiiulsed. This tablet is erected by Quequechan Chapter, Fiaughters of the
American Revolution of Fall River, Mass., May 25, 1899.
An old Hint-lock gun and a powderhorn used in this l)attle
were exhil)ited on this occasion.
A large num})er of magazines has been sent to the soldiers
at Guanajay, Cuba, and to those at Guam and in the Philip-
pine Islands. The chapter has a l)rass-botind cj^press wood
chest in which its archives are kept, together with the nucleus
of a collection of relics. Wreaths are placed each year, on
Memorial Day, on the graves of the Revolutionar}' soldiers

TABLET PLACED ON TOWN HALL, FALL RIVER, BY QUEQUECHAN CHAPTER.
Eeport of Daughters of ihe American Revolution. 173
Sarah Bradlee Fulton Chapter, of ]Modford, 51 luouilicrs, has
appointed a coniniittco to raise funds for the preservation of
the Roj'all House, General Stark's headquarters. As the
property is valued a 150,000, the undertaking seems very
heavy. l)ut the patience and perseverance of these ladies will
no doubt carry it through. In April, 1899, a very successful
loan exhibition was held in the old building, and the house
was furnished with some of the choicest of Medford's ances-
tral treasures. Such a home-like etfect was produced that it
was the wonder of all who saw it. About 2, (>()<) visitors
attended. (Plates lO-ll.)
One of the "Real Daughters" ])elonging to the chapter,
Mrs. Catherine Sargent, by untiring elibrts raised money for
a flag and stafi' in her native village of Alma, Me., and was
present at the flag raising on July -1, 1899. Other members
have placed markers on the graves of Capt. John Vinton and
Capt. Silas Wild, who connnanded companies of minute men
from Braintree, ]Mass., on April 19, 1775. They are buried
in the Elm Street Cemetery of that town. A contri1)ution of
^5 was made to the Continental Memorial Hall fund, and $5 to
the arm}' nurses of the civil war. A supply of literature
was sent to the Medford men on duty in the Philippines. On
May 26, 1900, a tablet, consisting of the old doorstone of the
house where Sarah Bradlee Fulton lived, was set up in front
of her tomb in the Salem Street cemeter}', the oldest in the
town. (Plate 45.)
Sea Coast Defence Chapter, of Vineyard Haven, 51 members,
held a fine loan exhibit during the months of July and August,
1899, and in this way added a considerable sum to their treas-
ury. A slate headstone has been erected at the grave of
Polly Daggett, one of the heroines concerned in the liberty-
pole incident mentioned in our reports for 1897 and for 1898.
The inscription is as follows:
Polly Daggett Hillmaii, born ITf.O, diod .
A heroine of the Aiiu-ricsin Revolution.
This stone is erected to her memory Ijy the Sea Coast Defence Chapter, D. A. K.
Bronze markers ha^■e been placed at the graves of 30 Kexo-
lutionar}' soldiers, and 10 more have been identified. The
names of the soldiers are found below.

Main street to the Clapp family lot, where the father and
mother of Mrs. Clark are l)uried, and the chapter has assumed

A lineage book has been edited and published by Miss Agnes
Blake Poor, a member of the chapter. In compiling the book
it was thought best not to occupy space with man.y referenc(\s.
since those \\tx\Q already been passed upon by the societ}' with
careful scrutiny. ]\Iore space has therefore been given to
anecdotes and characteristic particulars of ancestors, as pre-
served l)v family tradition.
MICHIGAN.
The Michigan chapters have united in sending two tons of

General Richardson Chapter, of Pontiac, 30 members, takes
its nauK^ from the hero of three wars, known as "Fio-hting
Dick." It has offered two i)rizes for the best essays on Ameri-
can history written by pupils of the grammar and high
schools, and sent books, papers, and boxes of supplies to
soldiers at Manila. Papers on topics connected with the
Revolution have made the chapter meetings more interesting.
A map of the LTnited States, begun in 1623 and finished in
ITTC), is a special feature in the collection of relics. The
graves of four lievolutionary soldiers have been identified
and will lie marked by the chapter.

Genesee Chapter, of Flint. 27 members, aims to found a
library of the Daughters of the American Revolution in Flint.
Many valuable gifts of papers, pictures, and books have already
been presented to the chapter and the members are work-
ing to secure a place for them. But they have not forgotten
to work also for the larger conununity. After much eti'ort,
against many ol)stacles, they at last succeeded in having the
public library opened one evening each week for the benefit
of those whose work prevents their using it in the daytime.
Heretofore th(^ rooms were open but two afternoons each
week, with an hour for the exchange of books on Saturday
night. Some of the cha]itei' members now assist each week
in the new e\ening W(»rk of the library and furnish a number
of the best periodicals for tlu' reading table.
The increased interest in reading, developed as a result of
this innovation, encourages the ladies with the thought that

they huvo helped "to promote institutions for the general
diti'usioii of knowledge, thus developing an enlightened pul)-
lie opinion." as set forth in the terms of our constitution.
Lansing Chapter, of Lansing. Go members, has continued
its relief work among the soldiers begun in ISIKS, and letters
from the recipients in the Philippines prove how welcome
were the gifts from their native land. On January 2l\ ItMK),
six large boxes of bedding, clothing, stationery, reading mat-
ter, and games were sent to the hospital at Manila, and
another box of comforts was forwarded in the autumn of that
year. It is difficult to estimate the value of the books and of
the sewing done by the ladies. Aside from these items, how-
ever, the cash value of the articles forwarded was $61.53.
The chapter aided Army and Navy chapters in relief work
among the families of soldiers and sailors.
Louisa St. Clair Chapter, of Detroit, 242 meml^ers, sent
'Sol. 45 to the La Fayette statue fund. During the past two
years hospital supplies, books, magazines, and contributions
of money have been sent to various points when there was an
urgent call. As the result of a lecture provided by the chap-
ter for 2,500 public school children, their examinations in
history were passed successfullv. • Money was contributed
toward a monument to commemorate the faithful service of
Miss Ellen May Tower, the brave nurse whose death in the
cause of humanity was recorded in our last report. The
chapter has decided to erect a monument to General St. Clair.
But in the meantime it has not forgotten his li\'ing represent-
atives, and has sent substantial aid at various times to one of
his descendants who needed help. The daughter of this
descendant is now the special ward of the chapter and her
education will be secured. Mrs. Bertram C. Whitney was the
representative of this chapter at the unveiling of the Wash-
ington and La Fayette statues in Paris, July 3—1, 1900.
Ypsilanti Chapter, of Ypsilanti, 19 members, has been
making ver}^ careful studies of brief periods of American
historv. There is a local-history committee which does some-
thing eachj'ear toward gathering and preserving all available
information about the early days of Ypsilanti. ^Nlany remi-
niscences of the old settlers, which might otherwise lie forgot-
ten, are in this way gathered and recorded for future reference,

Since the election of the present state regent. Miss E. Ellen
Batcheller, the numlier of chapters in the state has increased
from IT to 27, and the membership in about the same ratio.
This is probably the result of the frequent state meetings and
regents' meetings held each year, following the custom begun
on October 24, 1892, as mentioned in the first report. The
interchange of thoughts and plans thus secured is of incalcu-
lable benefit in obtaining harmoniuus results.
At one of these regents" meetings, held June 2, 19' M», ]Mrs.
S. Duncan Oliphant, regent of the Captain Jonathan Oliphant
Chapter, was appointed chairman of a conmiittee of waj^s and
means to purchase the old barracks situated on Front street,
Trenton, and occupied successively by Hessians, German
Jagers. and our own tr()oi)s during the Revolution. It is
intended to make the building a home for the various patriotic
societies of the state, and the interest of all of them has been
enlisted. The purchase price is ^7, (><>•). and up to the present
time the sum of ^2,300 has been raised for the project. T'he
committee hopes to see the work completed before the close
of 1901. In tiie reports of the New Jersey chapters which
follow it will be seen how o-eueral is the interest in this m;itter.

Colonel Lowery Chapter, of Fleminoton, lb members, as a
first offering- gave $30 to the Continental Memorial Hall fund
at the Congress of llHK), The}" intend to place a tablet on
the first frame house in Flemington, built in 175() by Samuel
Fleming, from whom the town takes its name. The old house
is very quaint, and, with the exception of a small addition at
the back, is just as it was originally built. The windows up-
stairs are all casement windows of good size, with very small
panes of glass. It has always been inhabited, and had excel-
lent care. It w^as considered so fine in colonial days that people
came from a considerable distance to see it, and it was known as
"•Fleming Castle.'' (Plate 53.) At that time it was used as a
tavern, and the original l)arroom is now used as a sitting room.
Samuel Fleming came from Ireland and brought with him a lad
named Thomas Lowery, who afterwards married Fleming's
daughter, Esther. Lowery was a commissar}^ of Washington,
and a warm personal friend. Washington frequently came to
consult with him and was entertained at Fleming Castle. ]Mrs.
Lowery was a very patriotic woman, and when the Army was
sutiering from a scarcity of supplies in 1780. she was chosen as •
one of a committee of ten ladies to solicit aid for the soldiers.
In twelve days $1.5,108 were collected by these ladies. In April,
1789, ]Mrs. Lower}' was one of the matrons in charge of the
ceremonies at Trenton, on the occasion of General Washing-
ton's reception, and her daughter was one of the thirteen young
girls who strewed his path with flowers, '\\hile singing an ode
composed for the occasion.
Continental Chapter, of Plainfield, 36 members, has given

b}" Washington.

placed a reading table in the high school library. (Plate 56.)
This they have supplied with $51 worth of magazines, both
of home and foreign publication, and local daily and weekly
newspapers. The money for the purpose was the proceeds
of lectures on American poets and poetry, and of gifts from
friends of the chapter, amounting in all to $142. On July
16, 1900, the chapter presented this to the city for a free
public reading room. At the same time a prize was given to

The money is in hand to put the reniainino- o u-rsivcs in ordei-

The Free Public Library of the town was in early days ;i
line old home, centrally located and facing the common. At
the time of General La Fayette's visit to Fredonia the house
was illuminated for the occasion and an upper window casing
was burned. This window has always t)een kept untouched
by the occupants as a memento of the occasion. When the
house became a li})rary the upper rooms were made one and
the burned window was thus brought into the room most
appropriately used for historical purposes. The chapter has
placed upon the casing a brass marker, 1^ l)y i> inches in
dimensions, lettered in ))lack as follows:
This Mindow frame was burned by candles placed for illumination when tieneral
La Fayette was a guest of tlie village of Fredonia, N. Y., on June 4th, 1825.
This tablet was placed by the Benjamin Preseott Chapter, D. A. R., Ai)ril 19. 1900
This date was selected because it was the anniversary of
General La Fayette's first landing in America, on the coast of
South Carolina, when he ofl'ered his services to assist us in
gaining our libert}'. (Plate 58.)
Bronx Chapter, of Mount Vernon, 20 memljers, instituted
a prize essay contest in the grammar schools, the prizes being
^20, |15, and ^5 in gold for the best essays on historic topics
furnished by the chapter. Great interest was manifested in
this contest, and the second prize was awarded to a young girl
of a Polish Jew family in which the parents could neither read
nor write English. The prizes are again oii'ered this year,
and the topics are as follows: JoJiu Paul Jones; 2Lirij^ the
mother of Washliigtoit,, and Washington as a soldier. Two
handsome flags, for use in assembly exercises, have been pre-
sented to two public schools, and a circulating librar}' of lOU
volumes was purchased and sent to the soldiers in Porto Bico,
The chapter thus does all it can to foster true patriotism, and
looks toward the future rather than toward the past. But the
past is not forgotten, for $10 ha^'e Ijeen donated to the Con-
tinental Memorial Hall fund, and the ladies ha^'(^ discovered
and are planning to mark an interesting spot in their locality,
known as ''Glover's Rock." It is situated in Pidham Bay Park,

Buffalo Chapter, of Buflalo, 31U members, is still at work
upon its nol)le task of helping the large foreign-born popula-
tion of the city to understand the laws and institutions of the
land of their adoptfon and to appreciate the blessings and
duties of its citizenship. The children of these foreigners
learn histor}' in the public schools, but the adults would never
gain an}" adequate knowledge of this countr}" if some special
means of instruction were not provided for them. As men-
tioned in our last report, the chapter's work has consisted in
giving lectures to the Polish and Italian immigrants, trans-
lated into their own languages, anil illustrated by the stereop-
ticon. Six lectures were written l)y meml)ers of the chapter
upon th(^ following topics:
1. The Period of Discovery. 4. The Making of the Constitution.

Three himdred dollars were a[)[)ropriated for the purpose,
and the lectures were delivered during the winter of ly98-i>ih
It was found that an expense of $25 an evening woidd cover
the cost of translation and deliver}^ before each set of audi-
ences, with use of stereopticon. Part of the lantern slides
were o])tained from the board of regents of the state of New
York, and others were added at the chapter's expense when
neinled. The superintendent of (^lucation otfered the use of
the })ublic schools in the Polish an<l Italian districts, but that
in the Polish district was too remote for the large audience
desired. The priest of §t. Adelbert, therefore, offered a hall
formerly occupied by his congregation, and gave the further
aid of calling tht^ attention of his people to the lectures. At
times the Polish audience num])ered (!(H>, and their welcome
of tlu^ instruction may be judgi'd from the fact that the}' Avil-

and scattered among the people, and notices of the lectures
were published in the Italian newspapers. By this means the
attendance was largely increased.
The Italian school children were interested from the tirst.
and at the end of the course begged the principal of the school
to give them a lecture in English, saying '" we can understand
it."' This request was gladly granted.
During the winter of 1899-1900, three othei' lectures lia\ c
been added, making the whole course for the wintcM' as follows:

the chapter expects soon to add to its educational work the
marking of historic spots along the Niagara frontier.
Camden Chapter, of Camden, 5S members, sent !|25 to the
Continental Memorial Hall fund in 1899. and $10 for the
statue of La Fayette in Paris.
A tine monument to 'A-i Revolutionary soldiers who came
from Connecticut and settled in Camden was placed in the
old cemetery on Mexico street, where 18 of them lie. It was
unveiled on rTuly 1, 1899, by Mrs. Wilson Baldwin, one of the
two '"Real Daughters'" belonging to the chapter, in the pres-
ence of an audience composed of the principal citizens of the
town. The stone is plain, in keeping with the tastes of the
men to whose memory it was raised (Plate 59). It is of Quincy
granite, 7 feet 1 inch in height fi'om base to apex, and was
fully paid for before the unveiling ceremonies, leaving a
balance in the treasury. For a connuunity of less than ;^),(»00
inhabitants, with nine churches, a library, and many other
public benefits to maintain, this seems a remarkable showing.

Edward Salisbury, alxjve named, descendant in direct line t»f William
Salislnn-y who resided in Dorchester, Mass., in l(i48, was first lieutenant in
the French and Indian war, serving from 1755 to 1759. He enlisted as a
private, but was honored witli a commissidn in return for havin<rbeen the
first to volunteer, with twelve others, togo on a very dangerous expedition.
He saw service on the Hudson River, was in Rome during the building of
Fort Stanwix, and was at the siege of Oswego and Frontinac, now called
Kingstown. He tooli part in the severe engagement at Ticonderoga. His
only brother was killed by his side, while he \vas spared, th< >ugh his clothing
was pierced with many l)alls. He was in the battle on the Plains of Aijra-
ham, September 14, 1758, when Wolfe took Queljec from the French
under Montcalm. In the war of the Rev(jlution his age cleareil him from
military duty; but he frequently took up arms in the cause of liberty, j>ar-
ticularly in the defense of his native state when invaded. His services
at this time were voluntary, but when tlS* alarm guns were fired at Prov-
idence he shouldered his knapsack and joined bis comrades in arms. He
moved from Rhode Island to Weston, Oneida County, X. Y., in 1793, and
to Adams, N. Y., in 1802. He was the father of twelve children. He died
in Adams in 1829 at the age of 104 years and is buried in Rural Cemetery.
On his tombstone is quite a wonderful record. He is great-grandfather of
three members of Fort Stanwix Chapter, Rome, N. Y., as well as of two
members of Deborah Champion Chapter, AdauL^, X. Y.

Fort Greene Chapter, of Brooklyn, 207 members, has united
with the Association for the Protection of the American
Flag, and has given '$20 for this object. It has also given $10
to the (feorge AVashington Memorial Association, and ir.di-
\idual meml)e]'s have supplemented this by many private sub-
scriptions. In June, ISOO.^ the chapter completed its prize
(\ssay work by presiniting two prizes, at a cost of $50, to the
winners in the competition for the best essay written by boy
or girl on the prison-ship martyrs. Each winner received for
his or her school a handsome engraving and a personal gift
of a beautifully engrossed certiticate. The work of the chap-
ter for the monument to the pri.son-ship martyrs continues,
and an endeavor has ])een made to secure from England acor-
ri^cted list of those who were contined on the prison ships.
Mrs. S. V. White, an honored member of this chapter, has
published a facsimile edition of the diary of Capt. Jabez Fitch,
one of the martyrs of the prison ships. Mrs. Alice Morse
Earle, the well known author of many books on colonial
times, is a member of this chapter.
Fort Plain Chapter, of Fort Plain. 24 members, gave a prize
of $5 in June, 18l)!r>, for the Ix^st essay on American history
written by a high-school pupil. Twenty-eight most creditable
papers were handed in for competition.
Fort Stanwix Chapter, of Rome, 73 members, has continued
its annual })rize-giving for historical essays l)y public-school
children, and the interest aroused has been very marked. In
connection with the Gansevoort Willett chapter of the Sons of
the American Revolution, the chapter has o])taine(l permission
to mark the site of old Fort Stanwix, the tirst fort over which
the x4_merican flag was unfurled. Gun carriages have been
placed at the four corners of the ])astions and caimon furnished
by the (ilo\enuneiit w'xW be mounted upon them in 1901. It is
the intention of the chapter to add four l)ronze tablets with
suitable inscriptions.
Gansevoort Chapter, of Alban}', 88 members, gave $25 to the
Washington statue and another $25 to the La Fayette statue
at Paris, while $50 have been sent during 1890 and l!>00 to

the Contijiental ^Menioriul Hall fund. As Fort Cniilo. or
Vlie House, Is so near Albany, special interest is felt in the
project for its restoration, and $l<)(» were given directly to
Mrs. Van Rensselaer Strong for this purpose. A room in the
building has been assigned to the care of the chjq^ter. The
chapter also sent $10 to the fund for the family of Maj.
Gen. Henry AV. Lawton, who fell in the Philippines.
General James Clinton Chapter, of Springtield, 18 members,
is studying with great diligence American history, together
with some parliamentary law. They have a picture of Gen.
James Clinton taken by one of his descendants from a sketch
made from life by his son. The chapter is planning to mark
the old continental road to the head of Otsego Lake, taken
by General Clinton in the summer of 177l» through an
unbroken wilderness with 1,500 troops and 220 boats. This
expedition joined General Sullivan near Tioga.
General Nicholas Herkimer Chapter, of Herkimer, 46 mem-
bers, awarded a prize of «{^5 to a public-school pupil for the
best essay on The capture ef Burgoyne^ and gave two his-
toric pictures to the school. As the result of an entertainment
given b}' the chapter $10 were sent to the Washington statue
fund and $15 to that for the statue of La Fayette. In October,
1899, $25 were raised to purchase markers for the graves of
Revolutionary soldiers buried in Herkimer Count}^ and in
January, 1900, two large boxes of ))ooks and periodicals
were sent to the soldiers at ]Manila. In February, 1900, a
gift of $50 was made to the Continental Memorial Hall fund.
The chapter is now raising money for a monument to be
erected in Herkimer Park in memory of all the soldiers and
sailors of Herkimer who lost their lives in defense of our
country in any of the wars of the United States. Two hun-
dred and eighteen dollars have already been obtained for this
purpose. It is proposed that the monument shall be a statue
of General Herkimer in Continental uniform.
Gouverneur Morris Chapter, of (Touverneur, 23 members,
has contributed to the funds for the Washington and La
Fayette statues in Paris, and to the monument for Reubena
Hyde Walworth. They have also given to the fund for a sol-
diers' monument in their local cemetery and decorated the
graves of Revolutionary soldiers with flowers on Memorial

Hendrick Hudson Chapter, of Hudson, !H) inoni])er,s, continu-
ing- its relief work reported last year, sent at Thanksgiving
time a box of provisions to the soldiers from Hudson, who
were then encamped at (xreenville, S. C
In 181>S the chapter provided the city with a free li))rary.
and during a little more than a year the members acted in turn
as librarians. In 19U() Mrs. Marcelus Hartley (Frances Ches-
ter White), of New York City, presented to the chapter an
old colonial house for a chapter home. (Place 60.) It includes
chtipter room, reading room, library . auditorium, and museum.
It is interesting to note that the stained-glass window in this
building- was erected from the proceeds of a little story Mary
and I go to Earope^ written by the husband of the regent.
(Plate 61.) By means of entertainments the ladies have raised
sufficient funds to hire a librarian, and the library and reading
rot)ms are kept open live days in the week. The library is
under the rule of the Ilegents of the University of New York,
and consequently receives some help from the state; but the
chapter is responsible for the library, and keeps it in the chap-
ter house subject to the state rules. One of the members is
in daily attendrmce to show strangers through the building.
The ladies held a loan exhibit of valuable relics in 1900. and are
making historical collections for their museum. They offer
each year a live-dollar gold piece to the pupil in the public
schools who writes the best essaj' of not less than 1,000 words
upon a given sul)iect from American history. The subject for
1900 was Thi'e<' Jirroi'x of three wars — Rerohittcaiary, rhvh
SjHiirlsJi. The winner- was Miss Bertha M. Best, and the pre-
sentation exercises were of much patriotic interest. The chap-
ter gave $10 to the Continental Memorial Hall fund in 1S97.
Irondequoit Chapter, of Rochester, 223 members, has con-
tinued its magnificent relief work mentioned in our last report
))v undertaking the care of families left destitute by the
soldiers who went from Rochester to the Spanish-American
war. This helpful work nuist prol)ably endui-c for a long-
time to come.

the Continental Memorial Hall fund in 1900. and decorated the
graves of the Revolutionary soldiers on Memorial Day.

contemplates marking other historic spots in the vicinity,
with a view to stinuilating interest in histor}'.
Johnstown Chapter, of Johnstown, 56 members, is not yet
a year old, but the ladies are devoting- their energies toward
raising a fund to place a bowlder, with a suitable tablet, on
the Johnstown battlefield. For this purpose a loan exhil)it
was held last August in the historic court-house built l)y Sir
William Johnson in 1772. It was considered an education for
the school children to examine these relics, and many availed
themselves of the opportunity. The sum of $13(» has been
laid aside already for the bowlder fund, and the ladies hope
to increase it sufficiently to erect their memorial in the coming-
spring. In the meantime they are taking a regular course in
United States history. They have given |2o to the Conti-
nental Memorial Hall fund.
Kanisteo Valley Chapter, of Hornellsville, 35 members, has
been studying with much interest the local history of the
region and especially that relating to the several plots there
formed by Tories and Indians against the ill-fated settlers in
northern Pennsylvania. On the hill just above Hornellsville
were built canoes in which the forces coming in 1778 from
Niagara to participate in the Wyoming massacre continued
their journey down the Canisteo, Chemung, and Sus([uchanna
rivers. It is recorded in the early chronicles of the town
that the first white settlers in the valle}^ found there the
remains of the abandoned canoes and the tools used in their
manufacture and heard the story of their purpose. These
first settlers were Revolutionar}- soldiers, and many were
members of families who had suti'ered in the massacre. The
old cemetery contains their dust, and the moss-grown stones
record their gallant deeds. During the two years covered
b}' this report several contributions have been made: to the
Continental Memorial Hall fund, $20 additional to that in last
report; to the La Fayette statue in Paris; and to the Reubena
Hyde Walworth monument at Saratoga. As seven members
of the chapter had ancestors who suffered the tortures of the
British prison ships, the appeal for the monument to the
prison-ship martyrs met with a ready and generous response.

Keskeskick Chapter, of Yonkei's. 52 members, has contin-
ually tried to increase interest in the pi'eservation of the his-
toric Fhilli})se manor, 1)uilt in 1682 by Frederick Phillipse.
who is ]>uried in Chestei' cathedral, England. Because of
possessing this old manor house the town of Yonkershas l)een
deemed worthy of mention by Baedecker in his guide book of
the United States. The line old building was long since pur-
chased by the town for numicipal purposes, l)ut it is period-
ically threateiu'd Avith destruction by the city fathers, who
would erect in its place a modern citv hall. Failing in this,
they who care little for antiquity would l)uild unsightly and
inappropriate additions to the structure, thus ruining its
natural stately c-haracter. Thus far the ell'orts of the chaptin-
and other patriotic citizens have prevented the desecration.
l)ut only unceasing vigilance wnll prevail against the innova-
tors. The chapter has also exerted its small influence in
behalf of the preservation of the Palisades of the Hudson and
has succeeded in arousing the interest of patriotic societies all
over the country in the erection of a monument on the battle-
field of White Plains.
Knickerbocker Chapter, of New York City, Ti members, held
in January, 181»1>, a fine loan exhilfit whereby i^85 were raised
for the La Fayette statue in Paris, and they added f?105tothe
Continental Hall fund in l!HH», thus making a total of §225
given by iho chapter and members since February, 189T. In
April, 11)00, the sum of ^5^450 was raised for the national soci-
ety for the relief of widows and orphans of the regular Army
and Nav}". In OctolxM-, 1900, a fine picture of George and
Martha ^^'ashington was presented by the chapter to the
Barnai'd school for girls, and the ladies assisted in the bazaar
held for the benefit of the sufi'erers by flood at Galveston.

Mary Washington Colonial Chapter, of New York City, 121
members, has made it a point to mark some historic spot each
year. On flanuary 18, 1899, they unveiled a handsome In-onze
tablet placed on one of the approaches of the Brooklyn Bridge.
It marks the spot where stood the first Presidential nuMision, at
No. 1 Cherry strec^t. (Plate 62.) This fall they departed a
little from this custom 1\y erecting in St. Stephen's Church,
on Sixty-ninth, street, a ta])let to the memory of their lat(>
chaplain, Kev. Cliarles Pussell Treat. (Plate 63.)
The chapter has gixen to the Continental Memorial Hall
fund 11,050 since July, 1896; sent $250 to the Cuban orphans:
given $100 as one of the founders of the City History Clid),
and forwarded a generous donation to Porto Rico for a lios-
pital at San Juan. After the death of the devoted mirse,
Reul)ena Hyde Walworth, Miss Lillian Montgomery, one of
the members of this chapter, devoted her whole time to raising
funds for a national njonument^ to the memory of this noljle
woman, buried at Saratoga. The shaft is of granite, and was
unveiled one year after the death of the young heroine it com-
memorates. (Plate 67.) The cost was somewhat over $1,5*»(>,
of which amount $585 were given or collected by ]\Jary Wash-
ington Colonial Chapter; $575.75 were contributed by other
chapters and individual D. A. P., and $435 given by or through
Saratoga Chapter, of which Miss AValworth was a member.
The beautiful memorial is located at Saratoga, and is a gift to
the National Society of the Daughters of the American ^e\-
olution from the association which erected it. (Plate 'ci'S.)

France. On ]May 111. lOiiO. the chapter unveiled a tal)let in-
serted at the base of the monument to La Fayette at Brincker-
hoff. (Phite 6-i.) The monument itself was represented in our
last report. During the Revolution lieacon lires were lighted
upon North and South Beacon, two peaks l)ack of Fishkill. as
signals to the American soldiers for miles around. The chap-
ter had long wished to mark tht^ North Beacon, and on July
Ith the desire was accomplished. Amid the soaring of rockets
and the blazing of l)eacon lires, the monument was formally
dedicated. Answering lires were seen at Lake Mohonk,
Storm King, Round Top. and West Point, so that the Hud-
son River Valley seemed to join in the celebration. The
monument is a cairn 27 feet high, surmounted l)v a Hag polo,
from which the Hag will tioat on national holidays. The
state regent, ]\Irs. Samuel Verplanck (Katherine R. ^^'olcott),
is an honored member of this chapter. A contril»ution was
made to the mommient for Reubena Hyde AValworih at Sara-
toga, and %\() were given to the Continental Hall fund in IcSD'.t.

Quincy.
Olean Chapter, of Olean, 71 meml^ers, held in October, 1898,
a tine loan exhibit, embracing over TOO articles of historic

otherwise have been felt for the chapter's work. A contri-
bution of $5 to the Continental ^Memorial Hall fund was given
at our congress of 1899, and more than ^100 was raised for a
city-hospital fund. The La Fayette statue fund also received
$5. Three boxes of supplies were forwarded to the sick sol-
diers at Manila. The chapter has been nu.ich interested in the
early history of the town, and a sketch of its foun.der, Maj.
Adam Hoops, who gave the town its name in 1804, was pub^-
lished by Miss Maud D. Brooks, and a cop}- was presented to
the library of the national society. A famous oil spring in
the neighl)orhood was known to tlie Jesuit missionaries in
1721, and was regarded as of so much medicinal value bv the
Seneca Indians that the square mile containing it was reserved
by them in their treaty with Robert ISIorris. The chapter is
enrolled as a study clul) in the university-extension depart-
ment of the University of New Y'ork, and thus has the privi-
lege of using manv valuable books. It is also a charter
member of the George Washington ^Memorial Assot'iation.
Its menil)ers have pledged themselves to rise whenever the
"Star Spangled Banner'' and "'.Vmcrica"' are sung or played,
and to strive to make the ])ractice universal. Four members

Saratoga Chapter, of Saratoo\a Springs, 10;) mem))ers, imme-
diately after the death of Reuhena Hyde "Walworth decided to
erect a simple monument to her memory, and *^200 were at once
pledged for the purpose. On learning that the Mary Wash-
ington Colonial Chapter also desired to work for this object,
it was decided to make the monument a national ont\ to have
it erected not by one chapter alone, but hy all D. A. R. who
wished. The monument committee was composed of officers
from four diti'erent chapters, and Miss Lillian Montgomery
was made chairman, as a compliment to Mary Washington
Colonial Chapter. Circulars were sent to every chapter, and
responses poured in from the daughters everywhere, who
were glad to show in this way their admiration for Miss AVal-
worth's heroism and their respect for her mother, Mrs. Ellen
Hardin Walworth, one of the founders of the societ}'. The
unveiling ceremonies held on October IS, 189'.>, just one year
from Miss Walworth's death, were most dignified and solemn.
(Plate 67.) For the monument itself Saratoga Chapter
raised |435, and expended f$l(>1.50 for the unveiling cere-
monies. The lot on which the monument stands is owned by
Mrs. Walworth, who will one day be laid l)eside her daughter.
But the monument was given to the national society (Plate 08).
although the Saratoga Chapter is its custodian, and will ahvays
care for the lot. This chapter has raised a good sum for the
public library, and given '^'•Id to the Women's Army and Navy
Relief Society. For the Continental ]Memorial Hall fund c^lU
were given l)y a member of this chapter in 1897.
Seneca Chapter, of Geneva, 17 members, has given ^10
to the Continental Memorial Hall fund, '^b to the statue of
La Fayette at Paris, and !^5 to the Reubena Hyde Walworth
monument. Prizes of ^5 were given to the high school, in
1899 and in 1900, and three boxes of l)ooks. magazines, and
games, and two boxes of bandages have been sent to our sol-
diers in the Philippines.

Swekatsi Chiiptei-, of Ogdensburg, 4(3 members, has eon-
tinued its prizes to students of the academy. The subject of
the essays in 1891* was Benedict Arnold^ his greatness and
his fall. Both prizes were won b}' young ladies of Revo-
lutionary descent. An additional $20 was voted in 1899 to
the public 1 library for the purchase of books. An entertain-
ment for the benetit of the La Fayette statue in Paris was
given by some of the children of the city, under the direction
of the regent, and $31 was the result of this effort for the
fund.
In December, 1899, a very serviceable box tilled with paja-
mas, slippers, sheets, pillowcases, writing materials, games,
literature, and money was sent to the soldiers in hospitals in
the Philippines.
The greatest work of the chapter has, however, been the
raising of funds for their monument on the site of Fort
"La Presentation,*' mentioned in last year's report as in
prospect. The site of the fort was the property of the New
York Central and Hudson River Railway Company, but was
generousl}' donated to the chapter for this memorial project.
Committees were formed and solicitors were appointed to
collect funds from the citizens of Ogdensburg, and in this
manner a goodly sum was quickly raised. The monument
(Plate 69) is of light-gray Barre granite, built in alternate
sections of quarry-faced and highly polished blocks, bolted
together with bronze dowels 6 inches long, and securely
cemented. It stands over 36 feet in heioht and cost over
$1,000. On one side is a bronze tablet bearing a medallion of
Father Pictjuet and an inscription reading thus:
This monument marks the site of Fort La Presentation erected 1749 by
Abbe Franyoia Picquet for the protection of his Mission among the Indians
of the Five Nations, Occupied by the British in 1760, evacuated by them
in 1796 under the provisions of the Jay Treaty. It was the first building
where now stands the city of Ogdensburg.
Upon the o])posite side is the insignia of the societ}", with
th(^ words ''Swekatsi Chapter, D. A. R., October 5, 1899,"
cut in the stone. It was unveiled "amid crowds and sun-
shine, music and eloquence,"' and was presented by the regent.

On June 2, 1900, the chapter placed a tablet of solid l)ronzo
on the Morris House, located on Washington Heights, New
York Cit}^, between One hundred and sixtieth and One hundred
and sixty-second streets. It was built in 1758 by Frederick
Philippse, of Philippse Manor (see report of Keskeskick Chap-
ter, New York), as a bridal home for his daughter Mary, who
married Sir Roger Morris, an Englishman, After the lievolu-
tion there was considerable litigation over the property. In
ISlO it was purchased by Stephen Jumel, and hence is also
known as the Jumel Mansion. It is now called Earle Clili',
and is the residence of the regent. The tablet ei'ected l)y the
chapter (plate 71), is surmounted by a tine medallion of Wash-
ington and the inscription is as follows:
"Washington's Headquarters.

The committee — the larger part of which is composed of nonresident
Daughters — hope to be able to add much valuable data in the near future,
procured from their respective localities.
Meanwhile, cooperation is respectfully urged, and any information bear-
ing upon the stibject earnestly solicited.
The Sons of the American Revolution of Ohio in their year-
book for 1898 gave the names of many Revolutionary soldiers
who died in Ohio, but the graves of fully 30 per cent of
these can not now be located, owing to the fact that these
soldiei's were buried in cemeteries which were afterwards
al)andoned. Their bodies were removed to make room for
improvements, and all trace of their identity was thus lost.
Only 13 of these names belong to the Western Reserve.
Through the medium of the series of volumes known as
77te Pionerr Women of the Western Rtserve^ mentioned in
our first report and edited by Mrs. Gertrude Van Rensselaer
Wickham, chairman of this chapter's committee on Revolu-
tionary graves, the names of at least 50 Revolutionary sol-
diers who are buried in the smuU villages of the Western
230 BepoH of Daughters of the American Revolution.
Keserve have been recovered. When the publication is com-
pleted and indexed it is probable that many additional names
will be found.
OREGON.
Multnomah Chapter, of Portland, 43 members, is still the
only chapter in the state. A gift of $50 to the Continental
Memorial Hall fund, at the congress of 1900, shows that the
members are alive to the interests of the societv.
RENNSYLVANIA.
As will be noted, most of the Pennsylvania chapters have
united in raising funds for two objects of especial interest in
their own state, namely, the monument to the soldiers of the
Brandy wine at Ephrata, in Lancaster County, and the
memorial to Mrs. Nathaniel B. Hogg (Julia K.), their hrst
state regent. This testimonial has taken the form of an his-
torical prize fund, the income from ^vllich is to be awarded to
a student of one of the women's colleges of Peunsjdvania for
excellence in historical scholarship. The sum of $698.77 is
now on hand for this purpose, and it will no doubt grow to a
much more important amount. Nearly all the Pennsylvania
chapters have also joined in the efforts of Philadelphia Chapter
to l)uild a clu])house for the soldiers in Manila.
A gavel composed of wood and metal, contributed b}^ the
chapters from many historic spots in the state, was made
under the direction of Miss Minnie F. Mickley, and is used
at the state conferences. (Plate 72.)
Bellefonte C'hapter, of Bellefonte, 39 members, contributed
to the Mount Vernon Association and to the funds for the
Washington and La Fayette statues in Paris. The ladies
have given $5 for the soldiers' clu])house at Manila and have
sent $25 to the, Army and Navy chapter's relief conmiittee in
Washington. A third prize has been added to the two form-
erly mentioniHl, as the gift of this chapter to encourage
historical stud\'.
In July, 1900, the chapter held an art and loan exhibit
during the centennial of Center County and raised in this way
$150 toward a soldiers' moiuuuent for the county.

native white conglomerate, presented by ex-Lieutenant-Gov-
ornor L. A. Watres, in behalf of the Spring Brook Water

$23.16 to the La Fayette statue in Paris and sent $25 to the
Continental Memorial Hall fund in 1899. The furnishing of
the room in the Home for the Friendless, mentioned in last
year's I'eport, has been completed.
Merion Chapter, of Bala, 30 niem])ers. prepared a list of
historic spots in the old Welsh township of Lower Merion.

the chapter, copied an orderly l)ook and several letters, the
work of Revolutionary soldiers, and sent them to the state
li])rarian at Harrisburo-, Pa., to be em])odied in the Pennsyl-
vania archives. While working- on these archi\'es she read
that a battalion of Georgia Continentals, under Col. John
White, were encamped near Bala in .\.ug-ust, ITTT. Step })y
step she has followed those ragged, footsore men through
musty manuscripts and through th^» pages of history, wher-
ever she could lind a trat-e of them, picking up a name here
and there until she has gathered i;.(!Oi» names. Her work in
connection with the list of (leorgia's Revolutionary soldiers is
mentioned in the report of Georgia, and her list of names
compiled from sources outside the state archives forms Appen-
dix F. Such indefatigable work undertaken for th(> glory of
another state than her own is rare. She believes that those
early pioneers whose l)ones are moldering on many fields far
distant from their homes will rise up against her in the day of
judg-ment if she omits one name which any possibk^ research
might have revealed and preserved to posterity. As a further
help in the work of the Georgia Daughters. Mrs. Peter J.
Hughes. correspon(b*ng secretary of the chapter, obtained from
the state library at Harris1>urg a set of Pennsylvania archives
and sent them to ]\lrs. Peel at Atlanta to be used as a model
in arranging the Georgia archives.
Philadelphia Chapter, of Philadelphia, o-iS members, has
established itself in permanent rooms, though the annual
and other important meetings are held in Tndependenc(> Hall,
as mentioned in our first report.
The chapter has contrilnited 'k'^t) each to the ^^"ashington
and La Fayette statues in Paris, and the regent added $10() to
the La Fayette statute fund; '^10 were sent for the Abiah Folger
Franklin nunnorial at Nantucket. ]Mass.; $100 to the sufferers
by the hurricane in Porto Rico; ^50 to the sufferers by the
flood at Galveston. Tex. . and $100 to the memorial to ]\Irs. Julia

\)\yt feebly represents ti vast amount of labor, and the work is
one of the most unique yet undertaken by an}^ chapter. Dur-
ing the siuumer of 1899 the museum in Independence Hall
was. by permission of the city, moved into the two wino-s of
the buildino- under the direction of Mrs. Samuel Chew, a
member of this chapter. The east wing now contains the
Revolutionary relics and the west wing the colonial. The
Revolutionary museum is under the care of the chapter.
Continuing the war relief work begun in 1898, three large
boxes of books and magazines have been sent to the soldiers
on duty at Manila, and the fund for the soldiers' clubhouse
there, begun by the chapter with an appropriation of 1^1 00,
has reached the sum of $-±,821 through donations of individual
members and subscriptions received from other patriotic
societies.
Phoebe Bayard Chapter, of Greensburg, 11 members,
though very small in number has added $60 to the Conti-
nental Memorial Hall fund through direct contributions from
the chapter treasury and })y the gifts of individual members.
This makes a total of |85 to the credit of that chapter for that
fund.
Pittsburg Chapter, of Pittsburg, 38i^ memljers, contributed
^•Ih to the purchase and restoration of Meadow Garden Farm,
at Augusta, Ga., and $25 to the statue of La Fayette in Paris,
while $35(1 have been given to the testimonial fund which
will keep the name of Mrs. Julia K. Hogg always in memory
among the young woujcn of the state. This chapter also had
part in the 1>uilding of the moiuiment to Reubena Hyde Wal-
worth at Saratoga. Th(^ gifts of the chapter to the Conti-
nental Meiuorial Hall have amounted to $1:70 since 1897. In
1899 an entertainment given l>y the chapter for the fund which
maintains the blockhouse of old Fort Titt raised the sum of
$1,215. \ })icture and description of this Idockhouse were
included in our tirst report.
Presque Isle Chapter, of Erie, 17 mem1)ei"s. has contributed
$35 in all toward the Continental Memorial Hall fund, $10 to
the La Fayette and Washington statues in Paris, and $5 to the
memorial to Mrs. Julia K. Hogg. The chapter also assisted
the citi/AMis' conuuittee of the town in a reception held on Feb-

library at Manila; gave $10 toward the soldiers' clubhouse
there, and made 9 dozen garments, to clothe some of those
left destitute by the hurricane in Porto Rico.
Quaker City Chapter, of Philadelphia, 184 members, estab
lished in April, 1899, a thriving 'societ}^ of Children of the
American Revolution, named in honor of General Muhlen-
burg, and numbering now 55 members. These young people
are therefore soon to be well instructed in their duties as
future citizens.
On the same lines this chapter has been verj" active in asso-
ciation with the board of education in establishing vacation
schools and pla^'grounds for the children of the city. For
their study 60 framed illuminated pictures of birds in the
neighborhood were presented to the schools, and plants,
ilowers, and live animals for nature study were also given.
The regent was made a life member of the Paoli Association,
and two loan exhibitions of historic relics of great interest
and value were held in 1899 and in 1900. The ladies are much
interested in the project of securing pensions for "Real
Daughters," and are using all available means to accomplish
that end.
The money contributions of the chapter have been many
and various. Since 1897, $238 have been given to the Conti-
nental ^Memorial Hall fund, $132 to the clubhouse for soldiers
at Manila, $20 to the testimonial to Mrs. Julia K. Hogg, $25
to the Porto Rico relief fund, $10 each to the La Faj^ette and
Washington statues at Paris, $10 for a life membership in
the Paoli Association, and $10 to the American Auxiliary of
the Cuban Red Cross, while a quantit}^ of books and pamphlets
were sent to Cuba.
The chapter has assumed the pleasant dut}" of decorating, on
all national holidays, the statue of Washington, which stands
in front of Independence Hall.
One of the members has made it a habit to decorate on
^Memorial Day the graves of Revolutionar}' soldiers at Milton,
Pa., in the name of Quaker Citv Chapter.
The greatest work of the chapter during the last two years
has been the raising of funds for a granite memorial to be
placed in Washington Square, Philadelphia, opposite the old
238 Etport of DaugJifer^t of the American Bevolutlon.

prisoners of war during- the years 1777 and 1778. The monu-
ment is nearly ready for unveiling, and will appear in our
next year's report.
Another great work in which the chapter is much interested
is the preservation of Valley Forge and its surroundings, hal-
lowed by the sufferings and sacrifices of our Revolutionary
soldiers during the bitter years of 1777 and 1778. Circulars
were issued to every chapter in the state, urging cooperation
to secure the passage of an act by the Pennsylvania legisla-
ture for this purpose. Later, the chapter became one of the
first members of the Valle}" Forge National Park Association
and has sent appeals on its behalf to the regent of every chap-
ter in the countr3% urging united effort to have a bill passed
hy the Congress of the United States setting apart this tract
as a national military park, and providing an appropriation
for acquiring and maintaining it. The bill is now before
Congress, but has not yet become a law.
Sunbury Chapter, of Sunbur3\ 23 members, awarded in
1899 two prizes for the best essays written by members of the
graduating class of the high school. The first prize was given
to ]Miss Edna Be van, the second to ]Miss Mabel Bittermann.
A contribution of $10 was sent to the testimonial fund for
Mrs. Julia K. Hogg, and the graves of Revolutionary soldiers
in the vicinity are annually decorated on Memorial Day.
Their names follow:

Venango Chapter, of Franklin, 24 members, contributed to
the funds for Meadow Garden Farm and for the George

nent fund for building the Continental Hall b}^ $162.50. A
gold medal was awarded to the student in the high school who
wrote the best essay on the British invasion of Pennsylvania.
"Washington Countj^ Chapter, Washington, 14 members, gave

Tenth Regiment, United States Volunteers, $5 to the scholar-
ship fund in honor of Mrs. Hogg, and $2.50 each to the Wash-
ington and La Fayette statues in Paris.
The programme for the historical work of the chapter is
most complete and instructive, the studj^ of events being inter-
spersed with character sketches of the actors therein.
Witness Tree Chapter, of Columbia, 24 members, com-
memorates in its name one of the stirring events of the Revo-
lution. In June, 1777, when Generals Howe and Cornwallis
in New Jersey were making extraordinary efforts to crush the
power of the colonies, an express wafe sent to call out the
battalion of Donegal under Col. Alex. Lowre}". The express
arrived on Sunda}^ morning during service in the old Donegal
church. The congregation adjourned to the surrounding-
grove, and the men, clasping hands in a circle around the
''witness tree,"" pledged their faith anew to stand by each other
and \>\ the cause of the colonies. This battalion served at the
Bi'andy wine in the following September, and many of the men
are buried in the old churchyard.
In our last report mention was made of the efforts of thi-:
chapter to raise a monument to these soldiers of Donegal.
This has now been done. The memorial is of bluestone from
Preston County, W. Va., and the stone was the gift of the
regent. It is almost 15 feet high. Several hundred names
of tlie Donegal soldiers have been carved upon the polished
sides of the moiumient. and the expense of the whole under-
taking was $o()0. Maiiv descendants of these men added

Wyoming Valley Chapter, of Wilkesbarre, 111 members,
o-ave ^100 to the Continental Memorial Hall fund in 1890. It
continues to hold its meetino"s semimonthly fi'om October
until June, a litei'arv and a business meeting' alternatino-. At
the literary meetings pa})ers of great interest, showing nuich
original research, are presented. The chapter has rooms in
the same building occupied by the Wyouiing Historical and
Geological Society, and many of the ladies are members of that
society. Mrs. William H. ^McCartney (Katherine Searle), the
organizing regent in 1891, still holds the same office, while
many other officers have also served continuously. To their
unflagging interest is due much of the successful w^ork of the
chapter.
On June 14, 1899, the chapter unveiled with patriotic cere-
monv a handsome memorial on the site of Fort Durkee, one
of the frontier forts in Pennsyhania, built in 176'.> )>y Maj.
John Durkee, president of the First Settlers from Connecti-
cut. (Plate 77.) The inscription on the tablet is as follows:
Fort Durkee was Ijuilt Si2 feet soiitliwest of this stmie in 17G9 by the Conneetieiit settlers
as a defense against the Indians. It l)ecame a military post in the contest over the
jurisdiction and title to the Wyoming lands between the settlers and the Proprietary
Government.

An identical monument was placed at the same time on the
site of Fort Wyoming, erected a few rods l)elow on the same
side of the river by a company under Capt. Amos Ogden under
orders from the authorities of Pennsylvania. (Plate 78.)
The inscription reads thus:
This stone marks the site of Fort Wyoming, built l)y tlie Proi^rietary
forces January 1771. Captured by the Coiniecticut Settlers the same year
and used as a defense against the Indians. Rebuilt in 1778, and became an
important Military Post during the Revolutionary war.

The two stones are 5 feet 7 inches high, and stand on what
is known as the river connnon or ]>ank of the Susquehanna.
Around these two stoekade forts the harassing- partisan
warfare of Pennamite and Yankee for the possession of the
])eautiful vale of Wyoming was waged from 1769 to 1784.
At the approaching state conference the chapter expects to
unveil another memorial on the site of ''Forty Fort." This
will appear in next year's report. The valuable memorials
which have been erected l)y this chapter, as shown in the reports
of successive years, are something of which it may well be
proud, and will prevent coming generations from forgetting
the great and heroic sacritices which made possilde the peace
and security which they inherit.

SOUTH CAROLINA.
Catawba Chapter, of Rock Hill, 16 members, awarded in
lOOO a gold medal to ^^"inth^op College where 400 3'oung
women attend. Anoth(n- medal will be awarded in the com-
ing year. Contributions have l)een made to the La Fayette
statue in Paris and to the moimment for Confederate soldiers
in Ebenezer (Jemetery, York County, S. C. The ladies also
expect to assist the members of Kings Mountain Chapter in
raising funds for remoying the l)ody of Col. James ^Villiams,
one of the heroes of Kings Mountain, from the neglected spot
where it was interred to the l)attletield where he fell, and
where a monument stands as a memorial of that liattle.
Cateechee Chapter, of Anderson, 10 members, is named from
a pretty Indian legend belonging to that locality, for no Reyo-
lutionary history is known to be connected with that part of
the state. A volume containing the legend in yerse was given
to the library of the national society. The memliers, since
their organization, have pursued the study of English history
with the view of preparing themselves for the study of Ameri-
can history. The chapter is endeavoring to establish a public
lil)rary in Anderson.
Columbia Chapter, of Columbia, il members, has twice
ottered a medal to the pupils 01 the high schools and colleges
for women in Columbia. The tirst subject for competition
was Upper South Carolina, and the medal in this case was
awarded to Miss Mary Earl Lyles. The second topic was
77h hattli' of Fort 2fouJtrie; for the ])est essay on this
su))iect the medal was awarded in Deceml)er, 1S9S, to iNIis^
Aniese Cotchett, a pupil of the Ursuline convent.
A contril)ution for the ]:)urchase of ]\Ieadow Garden Farm
at Augusta, Ga., was made in 1S!U».
The regent of the chapter, ]\lrs. Annie I. Robertson, has been
indefatigable in making photographs of historic buildings and
places in the vicinity connected with the Revolution, and has
also photographed several nuister rolls of companies that vol-
unteered for service in that war. The rolls were in a very
dilapidated condition, but she has si>cur(Ml quite legi1)le copies
l»y this means.
Mrs. Robei'tson was also conuuissioned by the governor to
represent the state at the ceremonitvs attending the unveiling

of the La Fayotto inonuunMit in Paris. At this tiiiit> she placinl
upon that monunieut a copy of the coat of arms of i lie state a

In February, 1900, a white marble t-.ihlct in nicnioi-y of
EmiW (-reiger's ride was placed in a (•ons])i('U()us position in
the lobl)y of the state capitol at Columbia. (Plate 7'.>.)
The chapter has given some volumes to the li))rary of the
national society and some relics to the society's collection in
the National Museum at Washington. Since March, . 81>T. tlu'
sum given by this chapter to the Continental Memorial Hall
fund amounts to '$50.
Cowpens Chapter, of Spartan! )urg, 42 membei's, has sent
relics and books to increase the collection of the national
society at Washington. An additional gift of ^25 was made
in Februai-y. 1900, to the Continental Memorial Hall fund,
thus making the chapter's total contribution for that obi(M't
The ladies have begun tlie collection of a library, and are
also cooperating' in the movement for th(^ preservation of the
battlefield of Cowpens.
Kings Mountain Chapter, of Yorkville, 19 members, gave
'*5 to the La Fayette statue in Paris, and $1.30 to the purchase
of Meadow Garden Farm at Augusta, Ga. Before the chap-
ter was fully organized two memliers gave $5 each to the
Continental Memorial Hall fund in 1S1>T. This was supple-
mented by $5 in 1899 and $17 in 1900, making a total on that
account of $32 to the credit of this small chapter.
The Kings Mountain battlefield is situated about 12 miles
from Yorkville, and has been in a neglected condition for
many j^ears. In 1880, ten years l)efore our society was
organized, an association called ''The Kings Mountain Cen-
tennial Association'' purchased this battlefield and erectetl
there a monument to the fallen heroes of that memorable
contest. In the twenty 3"ears since that dat(^ nrany members
of this association have died and others moved to distant
places, and the rest have u^rown indifi'erent. As the chiipter
feels an especial interest in the spot through the descent of
man}' members from men who participated in the strife, the
ladies obtained the consent of all survi\ing members of the
old association with whom they could connnunicati", formed a
new "Kings Mountain Centennial Association." and oI)tained
250 Report of Daughters of the American Revolution.
a charter from the fseeretar}- of .state of South Carolina. This
was the only method by which they could legally obtain pos-
session of the ground and l)e assured of a right to preserve the
sacred spot from desecration. The ladies are now working
hard to overcome opposition to their obtaining possession of
the remains of Col. James Williams, who fell in the battle, and
whose dust they desire to reinter upon the field where his life
was given in the service of this country.
Nathanael Greene Chapter, of Greenville, 19 members, hon-
ors the name of the distinguished Revolutionary general for
whom the city was named, and who is also held in remem-
brance by the chapter in East Greenwich, R. I. The monthly
meetings are occupied with the consideration of interesting
and instructive historical papers.
Rebecca Motte Chapter, of Charleston, oo members, con-
tributed $10 to the La Fayette statue in Paris, and its gifts to
the Continental Memorial Hall fund since 1897 have amounted
to $55. It has continued the relief work reported last 3'ear
by providing a sul)stantial luncheon for lOO engineers who
were on their way to Cuba in February, 181»9.
Three soldiers who died in Charleston during the terrible
summer of 1898 are l>uried there in Magnolia Cemetery, just
opposite the spot where 000 Confederate soldiers are at rest.
The chapter has assumed the care of these three graves. The
national flag is upon the headstones and waves also upon the
graves as is the custom at the North. On the 10th of May,
when the graves of those who wore the gray in 1861 are
annually covered with flowers, these three who wore the blue
in our latest war are also remembered by the warm-hearted
southern daughters "because they were patriots." On May
30, the national Memorial Day, they again receive a tribute
of flowers 'Mjecause their comrades at home are remembered
on that day.*" Their names are as follows:
C. I). Johnson, Company I, Second North Carolina regiment, died Sep-
tember 12, 1898, aged 20 years.
Laurel B. Johnson, Company D, Second Wisconsin regiment, died
August 27, 1898, aged 21 years.
Carl Shipman, Company B, Second Wisconsin regiment, died July 20,
1898, aged 21 years.
This work is especially due to the loving enthusiasm of the
regent, Mrs. Frances Mather Jones, who was known as "the
O I
Rejjort of DaugJit'-rs of tJte American Bcrohiihm. !251
mother of the Sixteenth Pennsylvania and Second Wisconsin
regiments." Her portrait may l)eseen in Plate S'l at the head
of the graves.
SOUTH DAKOTA.
From October, 1898, to date seven mem])ers have been
added to the state chapter, called, temporarily, the '• Hot
Springs Chapter."
In January, 1899, the inmates of the Soldiers' Home at Hot
Springs, S. Dale, contributed ^Kt to the Continental ]\Iemo-
rial Hall fund. This is the only Soldiers' Home, so far as
known, in the United States that has ever contril)uted to this
fund. In recognition of this exceptional action, the D. A. K.
Congress sent a beautifully engraved certiticate of apprecia-
tion to the veterans, and it is now framed and hung with the
portraits of Washington, Lincoln, and other famous men of
the Repul:)lic in the I'eception room of the home.
Outside of the home, the state contril)utions to the Conti-
nental Hall fund were ^25.
On the 28th day of August, 19()0, the state regent, Mrs.
Andrew J. Kellar, with a distinguished party from other states
and a few local members, dedicated a chamber in.AVind Cave
to our society. It is a beautiful recognition of our nol)le
purpose, and should inspire us to nobler eti'ort. This great
natural cave is located 12 miles from Hot Springs. It is a
monument changeless as the everlasting hills above it. In
it are magnilicent halls and chambers dedicated to various
societies, orders, and churches, but none surpasses this splen-
did hall of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
The membership throughout the state is still limited in
numlier, the meager population being a continual drawback
to rapid growth. Those who are inteiested, however, are
appreciative of their privilege, and hope and work for greater
things in the future.
TENNESSEE.
Bonny Kate Chapter, of Knoxville, 57 members, unveiled
on May 10, llH)(i, a memorial stone at Lowes Ferry, Tenn.,
to mark the l)irthplace of Admiral Farragut. The spot is an
eminence immediately above the north bank of the Tennessee,
252 Report of DangJtttrs of the Amencaii RevoJidion.
and the outlook on mountain and river is singularly beautiful
and impressive. The stone of pink Tennessee marble, taken
from the hills near bv, stands about 3 feet high and was veiled
b}" a flag formerly belonging to Farragut's flagship.
The inscription is as follows:
Admiral Farragut was born here July 5, 1801.
Erected by Bonny Kate Chapter, D. A. R., Knoxville, Tennessee.
Dedicated by Admiral Dewey May 1.5, 1900.
The exercises were held in the presence of a large audience
beneath the spreading shadow of an ancient elm, under whose
branches Farragut must have played when a boy. The address
was delivered by Judge Temple, Tennessee's famous lawyer,
author, and historian. In concluding his eloquent remarks
he presented a flne miniature of Farragut to Admiral Dewe}^
the guest of honor, who as a 3'oung man served under the
famous commander of the Hartfoi-d.
The picture on plate si was taken at the moment when
the miniature ^vas opened for inspection, and the Admiral
exclaimed with delight, "That's Farragut!''
The regent of the chapter. Miss ]Mary Boyce Temple, was
appointed by the governor to represent the state of Tennessee
at the Paris Exposition.
Chickamauga Chapter, of Chattanooga, 51 members, con-
tinued until May, 18t)y, its work of war relief begun in ]May.
18*.»8. A cherished volume of letters from prominent daugh-
ters all over the land, and from clergymen, soldiers, and
trained nurses attests the valvie of the work, and forms a record
which, in future years, will be as interesting a picture of the
life at Camp Thomas as any historv we now read of the suf-
ferings at A^xlley Forge.
When no longer needed the diet kitchens were closed, and
the outflt of cooking utensils was turned over to the Orphans'
Home and Children's Refuge; also a large number of pillow-
cases and sheets. The last money paid for war relief was for
the board of a sick soldier on Lookout Mountain.
In February, 181)9, the ladies received a call for help from
the Fourth Tennessee Eegiment, stationed at Trinidad de
Cuba, and living through the same desolation made so familiar
at Camp Thomas. A trunk full of hospital supplies was
gladly sent, supplemented by ^05 from the Girls" Relief
Societv.

son. This son, a captain, presented to the reo-cnt a collection of
Cuban photographs and a roster of the regiment, as "From a

Commodore Perry Chapter, of Memphis 34 members, has
^iven small contributions to aid the memorial work of other
chapters, but as 3'et has not l)een a'ole to undertake any such
work of its own.
Cumberland Chapter, of Nashville. »).") members, oave ?d».>0 to
the Continental Memorial Hall fund in 18US, and presented
to Gen. Joseph Wheeler on October 11, 1898, a handsome
sword in remembrance of his services at Santiago. In N()^'em-
ber of the same year a contril)ution was made to the Meadow
(xarden Farm fund. In February, 1S1»9, a gift of i^2T.oO was
made to the La Fayette statue fund. On October :^T, 1S91),
the chapter gave a l)an(iu(^t to the soldiers returned from the
Philippines, and in March they gave t>5 toward the fund for
medals to the Tennessee soldiers of the Spanish war. Funds
were also sent for the purchase of a silver service for the
Tennessee rooms at Mount Vernon. In June, liHH), the ladies
started a movement for tlie erection of a moiuuuent to the
soldiers of the Revolution and their wives who are buried in
Tennessee. The graves of 5 of these soldiers hav*^ been
located as follows:
John Le Cre^t, 10 miles from Rudderville, Teiin.
Henry Sledge, 10 miles from Rudderville, Tenn.
Hardin Perkins, junction of the West and South Harpath rivers.
Voight, 2 miles from Xaslnille.
Jesse Kirby, S miles from Bowling Green, Ky.
Margaret Gaston Chapter, of Lebanon, 14 members, eon-
tributed §5 for the monument to Tennessee soldiers and $15
for local patriotic work to encourage the study of American
history.
Old Glory Chapter, of Franklin. 14 meml)ers, has con-
tril)uted to the purchase of Meadow Garden Farm at Augusta,
Ga., and sent $20 in 11»».)0 to the fund for the Continental
Memorial Hall to be erected in "W ashington. It has esta))-
lished a flourishing societj^ of Children of the American Revo-
lution, which has given $5 to the La Fayette statue in Paris.

On Feln-uai'v 2:i, i;»<»(). m.'dals were presented to the Wil-
liamson County men who had served in the Spanish-American
war. Five dollars have been raised for the Tennessee monu-
ment to be erected at Nashville to the soldiers of 177*i. and
%'l for the monument at Talladega, Ala., to the brave Tennes-
seans who fell in the war of 1812.
The ladies under the chairuianship of ]\Iiss Susie Gentry,
historian of the chapter, are continuing their etlorts toward
identifying the graves of Revolutionary soldiers in the vicinity
of Franklin. Four of these men were mentioned in our last
report, and lo more have been identified, as follows:
John Allen, buried near Pej'tonsville.
Andrew Goff, buried on the farm of John B. ^IcEwen, Williamson Co.
Jacob Grimmer, buried on the farm of J. B. Coleman, near Triune.
Robert Guthrie, liuried on the Mayberry place, Williamson Co.
Peter Leslie, buried near Xolensville.
Moses Lindsey, tjuried in the Frost cemetery near Brentwood, Tenn.
D. McMahon, juried on the Dr. Andrew Ewing farm, now known as the
McGovock place.
James Pitts, buried near Peytonsville, Tenn.
David Squire-s, buried in the old cemetery at Franklin.
James Turner, buried in the Web1) cemetery near Kirkland.
These were discovered through advertisements put into the
local papers, and through tracing out the lines of military
grants which the state histories said had l)een settled in that
locality.
Shelby Chapter, of Shelln'ville. 12 members, has renewed its
interest in our society during the last year, and is now work-
ing faithfully each ujonth.
TEXAS.
George Washington Chapter, of Galveston. 49 members,
gave %\<) toward the monument to Reubena Hyde Walworth,
a sincere tribute to the worth and patriotism of a noble Daugh-
ter. AVheii the terrible Hood tide destroyed so much of the
city, all the members escaped with their lives. l)ut their prop-
erty loss has been very heavy. Through their means the con-
tributions from other chapters for the relief of Galveston
.sulierers have been distril)uted with thoughtful care. Among
other gifts they received $i5<» from the Philadelphia Chapter.

UTAH.
Spirit of Liberty Cliapter. of Salt Lake City. 2i> members,
contributed ^i^in in money to the suti'erers from the Scotield
mine disaster, and individi;a! members were most active in
raising- the fund of ^il.ooo which was collected for tiie same
purpose. It is still the oidy chapter in the state. The envi-
ronment is not such as to encourage ra})id growth in niunbers,
but tliough small in membership the chapter has yet proved
itself large in influence.
After the election of Brigliam H. Roberts to Congress,
members of the chapter who knew him to be an open polyga-
mist did all in their power to prevent him from taking his seat
in Congress. They tiled protests in due form M'ith the proper
Congressional committee, and used every kind of private influ-
ence to explain the situation to the citizens of eastern states.
Their protests reat-hed our Congress of VM)^) and were approved
by that body. Each member carried home a keener interest
in the matter and a morc^ earnest purpose to prevent an avowed
polvgamist from participating in legislation which might ati'ect
the most sacred rights of womanhood. Protests against the
seating of Mr. Rol)erts. more numerous and earnest than
before, soon tilled the mail of every Congressman. As a
result the man was debarred.
During the past year the chapter offered a medal to the
girl in the senior class of the high school who presented the
best essay on a patriotic subject.
The contest v^as held on the evening of ^Memorial Day.
May 30, 1900. and the citizens generally took a great interest
in the competition. The compositions showed unu-h reseai-ch
250 Report of Daughters of tJie xirnerican Revolution.
and were of uiuisiuil excellence. The medal was awarded to
Miss Bertha Bootes.
The chapter has decided to offer a prize annually and to
enlarge the scope of this work as means allow.
VERMONT.
Ami Story Chapter, of Rutland, 67 members, has during the
past year interested the board of aldermen to vote $100
toward restoring the old North Street cemetery, where
several Revolutionary soldiers are buried. The chapter ap-
propriated $30 from its treasur}^ to assist in the work, and
the place has been graded, fenced, and put in order.
The ladies have given $20.50 for the monument to Reubena
Hyde Walworth, $10 to the Washington statue, and $15 to
the La Fayette statue in Paris, and sent $50 to the Continental
]Memorial Hall fund. This, with previous gifts, makes $140
to the credit of this chapter on that account.
The regent has given three prizes in the pul»lic schools for
excellence in historical study.
Ascutney Chapter, of A\'indsor, IT menil)ers, sent $5 to the
La Fayette statue in Paris.
Bellevue Chapter, of St. Albans, 24 mem])ers, has given
during the past year $15 for the Continental Memorial Hall
fund, and expended $8 in prizes for the high school. It has
c()ntri])uted $10 toward a state circulating library.
Brattleboro Chapter, of Brattleboro, 7S members, contrib-
uted generously to the relief of the sutferers in storm-swept
Porto Rico, and enlisted the aid of other citizens of the town.
In this manner a barrel of clothing and $54 in money were
collected.
The graves of several Revolutionary soldiers have been
marked by members of the chapter.
The state regent, Mrs. fJulius J. Estey (F'orence Cray), is
an honored member of this chapter.
The literary progranunes of each meeting have been of great
interest and instruction to the meml)ers, and they realize most
fully the ideal of our society that each chapter shall be not ''a
little club, ])ut a })art oi a living, throbl)ing whole, a world-
wide organization, with one standard and one password — a

Personally ajipeared George A. Bailie, who, being dnly sworn, deposes

with the family of John Nelson, late of said county, deceased.
Deponent further says that Charlotte Nelson, formerly Mrs. Charlotte
Cooper, the widow of Matthew Nelson, after the death of her second hus-
band— to wit, on December 23, 1840 — intermarried with John Silcox, and
from that time was known as Charlotte Silcox. The said Charlotte Silcox
departed this life on the 27th day of December, 1882.
Deponent further swears that John Nelson, the remainderman under
the will of Matthew Nelson, departed this life on June 16, 1866; that the
said John Nelson left surviving him his widow, Louisa C. Nelson, and five
children, to wit, Sarah R. Nelson, Mary L. Nelson, vSusieC. Nelson, Matthew
Nelson, and John W. Nelson. He did not leave surviving him any chil-
dren or widow of a deceased child.
Thereafter Sarah R. Nelson intermarried with deponent, to wit, on the

The said Mary L. Nelson thereafter intermarried with T. Burwell Green,

The said Louisa C. Nelson departed this life, testate, on the 7th day of

wife, Charlotte Nelson, and John Nelson and his heirs.

I do certify that the foregoing ii^ a true abstract from the records of the
title to the lot described in the caj^tion. There are upon the records no
unsatisfied mortgages, judgments, liens, or other enr-umbrances that are
liens upon the property described in caption. All state, county, school,
and city taxes and assessments up to and including the year 189i), against
the land described or the owners thereof, have l)een paid, and the first half
of the city taxes for the year 1900 have been paid.
In my opinion, Sarah R. Bailie, Mary L. Green, Susie C. Austin, and
Matthew L. Nelson have a good and unencuml)ered title to the property
described in the caption, and by proper deed can convey a good title.
Witness my hand, this seventh day of June, nineteen hundred.

The above list has been coiiipiled from ti ijreat number i)f shurter ones.
No doubt it contains numerous repetitions, Init these were uuavoiilable.
Two names nearly alike may refer to the same man, l)ut it was not al\\;i\s
possible to determine which of two forms was the correct one, licncc the
spelling has not been altered in any case; but the mere fact tliat twd
names are nearly alike is not sufficient evidence that they IjehiuLr to the
same individual. For instance, it is known that "James Aitkin," "James
Akens," and "James Akins" were three different persons.
In some instances the first name was not given. Wherever it was ]Kwsi-
l)le to add a title as a means of identification, this has been done.
It is quite a common occurrence to find a record of two or more men
l)earing the same name. Names repeated and intended for different per-
sons are marked with figures or indicated l^y titles.
About half the names in the foregoing list are those of ofiicers and emi-
nent patriots. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to find the reeonls
of privates and liumble heroes who risked their lives and served their
country just as faithfully as their better-known contemporaries. But even
if these records were immediately availal)le, and the list extended so a- to
include all who actually fotight for fivedom in Georgia during tiie wliole
Revolutionary period, there would still be an tmdue iiroportion of otlieers.
No regiment ever included the whole nund)er of }irivates called for; and,
in those days of irregttlar warfare, it was quite common for one olHeer
to start out upon an independent expedition with less than L'H men
under him.
Companies were hurriedly formed as occasion demanded, ami fre(|nenlly
disbanded as soon as an emergency was past.
Civil officers as well as military actually bore arms. They were obliged
to do so in order to defend their homes and families. During the whole
period of British occupancy the various legislative l)odies fied from place
to place and skirmished with English and Tories in order to keep ttii the
form of repul)lican government.
It is confidently believed that the foregoing list contains no doubtful
names. All, except a very few, were repeated a number of times. iMery
list examined was largely a repetition of others, thus rendering the process
of gathering new names exceedingly slow, but at the same time tending
to establish the authenticity of all. In a list of 10 names one nnght be
new, but that new name was likely to come up again with 20 old ones.
The above names were gathered from the following:

LIST OF HISTORIC SPOTS IX LOWER MERIOX.
[Prepared by Miss Margaret B. Harvey, Historian of Merioii Chapter.]
Lower Merion Township, IVIontgoinery County, Pa., was settled at Pencoyd
by a company of Welsh emigrants from Bala, North Wales, in August,
1682, two months before the arrival of William Penn. Lower Merion is
the oldest township in the "Original Welsh tract."
Old Stone Mansion of John Robert, near Pencoyd, built in 16S3. lie was
a Quaker j)rearher and a noble ))i()neer.
Lower Merion Friends' Meetinghouse, built in 1695 on the site of a still older
log building. The oldest edifice in the state of Pennsylvania. Mere
William Penn preached.
Old Stone House of Robert Owen, near Wynnewood, built in 1695.
Another noted pioneer.
General Wayne Tavern, Imilt in 1704, adjoining Friends' meetinghouse.
Here Washington and LaFayette slept on several occasions. In the fields
near by the Continentals encamped, September 14, 1777, on their way to
Paoli. Merion Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, have
marked this spot with a memorial stone. (See First Report, National
Society, Daughters of the American Revolution, 1890-1897, Plate 25. )
Old Stone Building, which has been used as a blacksmith shop for 102
years. Here Cornwallis had his horses shod while foraging through
Lower Merion.
Old Stone House adjoining the General Wayne tavern, belonging to the
Friends' Meeting and built in the same year as the meetinghouse, 1695.
Here Washington once slept.
General Wayne's Encampment. Wayne's army, on the way to the North-
west Territory in 179.'-], encamped near the meeting house and the old tavern,
w'hich has ever since Ixjrne the name of "The General Wayne."
Old Price Mansion, near ^Merion Meeting. This grand old stone mansion,
in antique Pennsylvania style, was built in 1775. It was occupied Ijy
Cornwallis as his headquarters for a few days, while attempting to ravage
Lower Merion in the autumn of 1777.
Old Black Horse Tavern, corner of the old Lancaster rt)ad and City avenue.
An immense stone barn, in old Pennsylvania style, stands near by. Here,
on December 11, 1777, Cornwallis made an attack on the Pennsylvania
jVIilitia, under General Potter. After a skirmish, continuing over the greater
part of Lower Merion and extending to the Gulph Mills, Cornwallis was
defeated. A number of wounded soldiers were carried into the Black
Horse barn. On February 1;^, 17.S1, a company of Continentals, imder
403
404 Re])07't of Daughters of the Ainerican Revolution.
Capt. Joseph McClellan, encamped in the field near the Black Hor8e on the
way to York, and went thence to take part in Gen. Anthony Wayne's cam-
paign in the southern states.
Camp Ground of the Georgia Battalion of Continentals, under Col. John
White, near Bala. Tliis battalion was here encamped in August, 1777,
while the main body of Continentals, under Washington, was on the east
side of the Schuylkill, near the Falls. (See Report of Merion Chapter,
page 2.35.)
Levering' s Ferry, near the i^resent Manayunk Bridge. Here Washing-
ton's army crossed the Schuylkill River, September 14, 1777, from old
Roxborough township into Lower Merion, on the way to Merion Meeting,
thus leaving the camp near the Falls of Schuylkill, three days after the
battle of the Brandywine.
Righter's Ferry, l)etween Manayunk and Pencoyd. Here one detach-
ment of Continental troops crossed into Lower Merion.
Penn Gaskell Farm, near Mill Creek. The last piece of property in Penn-
.•^ylvania held by the Penn family as a part of the original land grant.
Revolutionary Powder Mill, on Mill Creek, operated by Jaco)> Losch, under
the direction of the Council of Safety.
Revolutionary Paper Mills, on Mill Creek. Founded by the Scheetz
family before 1700, even earlier, it is said, than the Rittenhouse paper
mill at (iermantown, and operated during the Revolution by the patriot,
Frederick Bicking, under the direction of the Council of Safety. One
mill in the group was afterwards called the "Dove" mill. At these
mills were made the Government papers for all official documents, paper
for the Continental money, cartridge paper, and paper for Franklin's
printing presses.
Kettle Mill, said to be the oldest rolling mill in the United States. Here
were made old-fashioned kettles and brass buttons.
Gristmill, operated by the Tory, John Roberts. Here glass was ground
in the fiour intended to feed American soldiers. The trick was discovered
and John Roberts hanged. He was the only man in Lower Merion
attainted of treason. Some historians say that he was hanged upon insufii-
cient evidence, and that he was not accused of grinding glass in the flour,
but of acting as guide to the British in 1777.
Old Stone Mansion, once the residence of John Roberts, on ]Mill Creek.
This house afterwards became the residence of the patriot, Blair ^NlcClena-
han, of the Philadelphia City Troop.
General Potter's Camp Ground, near Mill Creek. Here the Pennsylvania
Militia encamped in the autumn and early winter of 1777 in order to
prevent the British from attacking Washington at Valley Forge, by way
of Lower Merion. Later the Pennsylvania Militia, under General Potter,
joined Washington at Valley Forge. The greatest part of Valley Forge
camp tcround is in Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County.
Black Rocks, near ]MilI Creek, an old Indian burying ground and the last
Indian reservation in eastern Pennsylvania, adjoining the old paper mills.
LaFayette's Crossing, near Conshohocken and called in his time " Matton's
Ford." An old Swedish settlement was located here before the American
Revolution, the whole Schuylkill Valley being included in "New Swe-
Rejxjvt of Damjliii rs of tlir Avierican Beiyihittoji. 405
den." By crossing the Schuylkill at this point, from White ilarsli Town-
ship into Lower Merion, LaFayette outwitted Howe, on iNIay 19, 1778.
Gulph Hills, near Conshohocken. On Blount Prospect, the highest point,
General Poor planted a battery, while LaFayette was encanii)e(l on the
opposite side of the river, in White Marsh.
Gulph Camp Ground. The Gulph ^Nlills, where the American ammuni-
tion was stored in the autumn of 1777, are in Tpper ]Merion Township,
just across the township line; but it is evident from the lay of the land that
the greater part of the camp ground was on the Lower Merion side of the
line. Here Washington's army encamped one week, from Deceml)er 12 to
December 19, 1777, and then proceeded directly to Valley Forge. Tiie skir-
mish between Generals Potter and Cornwallis, extending from the Black
Horse to the Gulph Mills, took place December 11, while the main body
of the Continental Army was marching from Swede's Ford (now Norris-
town) toward the Gulph ]Mills. The Pennsylvania Militia thus prevented
the British from attacking the main army on the way to Valley Forge.
Lloyd Jones's Paper Mill, on Rock Hollow Creek, near West ^Nianayunk.
Here tons of Continental money were destroyed after the " shinplasters"
had ceased to have any value.
Bryn Mawr Mansion, antique stone mansion built in 1701 by the
Quaker preacher, Rowland Ellis, one of the godly scholarly Welsh emi-
grants. It was afterwards called " Harriton ^Mansion," when occupied by a
branch of the famous Harrison family of Virginia, who slightly altered their
own name to find a name for their place. Miss Hannah Harrison, a member
of this family, married Charles Thompson, secretary of the Continental
(Congress. Secretary TlKjmpson resided here until his death in 1824.
While occupying this mansion Thompson made a translation of the Bible.
The Harrison property was inherited by Mrs. Thomi^son's relatives, the
Morris family, who belonged to the same stock as the famous financier,
Robert Morris.
Harriton Family Cemetery, located in the woods near by. Here Secretary
Charles Thompson was buried, and here his remains reposed for a number
of years. Later they were surreptitiouslj' removed by professed admirers
anil reinterred in Laurel Hill Cemetery. General indignation was felt
throughout Lower ^lerion, and has not yet died out; but as the IMorris
family were Quakers they decided "to resist not evil." It was properly
said that this burying ground could only be reached by trespassing upon
private property. A tablet on the wall of the cemetery still bears the
name of Charles Thompson.
Lower Merion Baptist Church, formerly called "Thompson's Meeting
House." Secretary Thompson gave the ground occupied by the church
and cemetery. Here are interred descendants of William Penn and a
number of Revolutionary soldiers.
St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church, popularly called the "Gld Dutch
Church," near Ardmore, Vjuilt in 1740. A curious tulip design is carved
over the door of the quaint little edifice. A large number of Revolutionary
soldiers are buried here; also a number of soldiers of the war of 1812.
Bicking Family Graveyard, near Mill Creek. Here are buried the patriot
paper maker, Frederick Bicking, and a number of Revolutionary soldiers.
406 Report of Daughters of the Americcm Revolution.
West Laurel Hill Cemetery. This is a beautiful modern cemetery, but it
contains the bodies of a number of Revolutionary soldiers, removed from
old churchyards in Philadelphia. Among these may be mentioned Col.
Archi])ald Steele, who was Arnold's aid-de-camp in the expedition to
Canada in 1775, and died in 1.S32, a<xed 92.
Lower Merion Friends' Burying Ground. — Here sleep the Welsh fore-
fathers, all of whom claimed to be descended from the ancient AVelsh
kings and from the old Keltic hero, Merion, or Meriawn. A number of
Revolutionary soldiers are here interred; also Daniel Williams, a signer of
the Xon-Importation Act.
"Brookfield Mansion," near West Conshohocken, once the residence of
Judge Richard B. Jones, who was judge of the Montgomery County courts
in 1822. Judge Jones had previously been a midshipman in the Navy and
had been held a prisoner in Algiers. He was afterwards consul to Algiers.
He was the last survivor of the expedition under Decatur, who destroyed
the frigate Fluladelphki in the harbor of Tripoli February 16, 1804.
"Old Vineyard," near Bala. Here resided John Leacock just before the
Revolution. He started a lottery for the " encouragement of the vine."
Lotteries for the promotion of various enterprises were very common dur-
ing the Colonial and Revolutionary period.
The following-named old roads deserve special mention:
The Ford Road, and its continuation, the old Lancaster road, extends along
the site of a prehistoric Indian trail which led from the Delaware to the
Susquehanna and crossed the Schuylkill at "The Ford," below the falls, in
what is now Fairmount Park. This old road, now generally known as
Montgomery avenue, enters Lower Merion at what is now called Bala.
Along this route William Penn's Indian guide piloted him through Merion
and westward. Here the Georgia Continentals, under Col. John White,
and the Pennsylvania ]Militia, under Gen. James Potter, marched up into
Lower Merion, to join the main body of the Continental Army, September
14, 1777.
Old Lancaster Road. — Its continuation eastward from IMerion Meeting to
the 3Iiddle Fer-y in the Schuylkill (now Market street l^ridge, Philadel-
phia) and westward along the Indian trail, constitutes one of the olde-st
turnpikes in the United States. It was laid out in 1700. On this road
Cornwallis marched, December 11, 1777, to attack General Potter; and when
defeated returned by the same route to Philadelphia. In 1781, General
Wayne marched by this road to York on his way to Georgia; and again in
1793, on his way to the Northwest Territory. From Merion Meeting west-
ward along this "great road to Lancaster" on the morning of September
1.5, 1777, the Continental Army marched to Paoli. Congress immediately
"adjourned to Lancaster" September 18. This means that they tied in
stage coaches and on horseback along this highway westward. All otiicial
documents were safely conveyed in large wagons by the same road under
the direction of Abraham Clark, a signer of the Declaration of Independ-
ence.
Old Gulph Road extends from Merion ^Meeting to Mill Creek, thence along
the creek and on to the Gulph Mills, wheni'e it continues through Upper
Merion Towii.-liiii t i Vallev Forge. This road was laid out bv William Penn
Report of Daughters of the American Bcoohition. 407
himself, who superintended the erection of tiie milestones. A miml)er of
these are still standing. Upon each is earved three balls, copied from the
Penn coat of arms. Continentals frequently traveled the (ndi)h road. Mr.
Roberts galloped along it on June 18, 177S, to i-arry the news to Washing-
ton that the British had evacuated Philadelphia. The old Lancaster and
Gulph roads constituted the most direct route from Philadelphia to Valley
Forge. It was by this route that the "ladies' association," under the direc-
tion of Mrs. Joseph Reed, sent to Valley Forge, early in 1778, eight big
Conestoga wagons filled with clothing for the patriot soldiers. Each
wagon required six mules to draw it. The drivers were all women. (St-c
report of Esther Reed Chapter, j). 267. )
Lancaster Turnpike was opened in 1770 to accommodate increasing tralhc
westward and to avoid the curves in the old Lancaster road. Through
Lower Merion Township the two roads are close together and run nearly
parallel. On the Lancaster turnpike still stand a nundoer of famous old
taverns, as the "Washington," the "Red Lion," the "Old Buck," etc.
"Meeting House Lane," from the Schuylkill, at Levering's ferry, to Merion
Meeting. Along this old road Washington's army marched up from the
river to the Merion camp ground September 14, 1777.
Righter's Ferry Road. One detachment marched over this road from the
river, thence along the Ford road to INIerion Meeting.
Papers describing the above-named localities have appeared in the Bnjii
Mdvr Horiif Xiurs (Pa.) at various intervals from April 5, 1895, to January
12, 1900, inclusive.
