Our Patriot Ancestors
We are proud of our ancestors who aided in the cause of our great nation’s independence.
The list below shows only the ancestors of members of the Sarah Ann Cochrane Chapter, NSDAR, but there are thousands more who have been proven by DAR members. If you share a common ancestor, or if you have information that one of your ancestors may have aided the cause of freedom during the American Revolutionary War, we may be able to help you establish your genealogical line for DAR membership.
To join the Daughters of the Revolution (DAR), prospective members must be able to prove their descent from at least one Patriot.
If you are interested or need assistance documenting your lineage and joining our chapter, please visit our Membership page or contact us for more information.
