Our Patriot Ancestors
Listed on this page are the Patriot ancestors of the current members of Harmony Hall Chapter, NSDAR. Revolutionary war Patriots include signers of the Declaration of Independence, members of local and state militias, members of the Continental Army and Navy, as well as men and women who rendered other types of aid to the cause of independence; even those who swore an oath of loyalty, provided civil service, or conducted public business in the newly formed American states.
With a few exceptions, military service began with the Battle of Lexington (19 April 1775) and ended when the British evacuated New York (26 November 1783).
If you find one of your ancestors on this list, we may be able to help you establish your genealogical line for DAR membership.
