Greetings Compatriots,
Here is what’s new on our America250SAR.org website. Two programs of interest. To read more about them go to our website.
CONNECT YOUR PATRIOT WITH A MAYFLOWER PASSENGER
As more and more information become available online, descendants are reaching out to connect their Revolutionary War Patriot with a Mayflower passenger. Many Daughters and Sons of the American Revolution (DAR and SAR) are asking if they also have an ancestral tie to a Mayflower passenger and are interested in learning how they may become a member of The Mayflower Society.
The Patriots to Passenger Project is a growing published list of Revolutionary War Patriots who descend from Mayflower passengers. The intent is to build a bridge between lineage societies. Many Mayflower Society members are also members of other lineage societies.
Learn more about how you can be a part of the project and access the 445-page Patriots to Passenger list and see if your Patriot is already listed.
Members of Sons of the American Revolution, Piedmont Chapter and Roswell City Council on February 17, 2024, planted Liberty Tree in honor of the United States of America’s 250th Anniversary in 2026 and for the sacrifice of our patriots and veterans that won us our freedom.
They planted the Liberty Tree at Bulloch Hall, Roswell, GA the home of “Mittie” Bulloch Roosevelt and the mother of our 26th US President Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt Jr. whose ancestors were Patriotic who fought in the American Revolution and was a SAR member.
Here is a video of the Bulloch Hall Liberty Tree planting on 2/17/2024…click on the YouTube link below: https://youtu.be/wGR7B5ZW3Fs
