OUR PATRIOT ANCESTORS:
Each woman in the NSDAR is a descendant of a Patriot who fought for our independence from Great Britain. That fight may have been through civil service, patriotic service, or military service. Here are just a few of the Patriots that have been traced to current Daughters of the Wyandot Chapter, NSDAR. This is not a complete list of Patriots or potential Patriots. Many Daughters uncover additional Patriots every day.
