:::::CORRESPONDENCE
Name, Notes/Quotes
--- "...April 27, 1999...Bob (and) Joan [Burton]...Dear Dan [Smith] and Family: As we promised, we are sending you the pages from Joan's various DAR applications which show the lineage from her to the Revolutionary War patriot and those which describe the nature of their services. Her original application was based on John Mills; the four approved supplemental applications were for Nicholas Barker, Matthew Osborne, Jr. (Osborn), Benjamin Pickett (Piggott), and Thomas Jessup. The supplemental application for Isaac White has not yet been submitted, but its approval should be almost automatic...Both DAR and SAR have recognized the services of 'patriots' as well as those who were in the military. Joan's approved ancestors all were Quakers who did not bear arms, but they supported the cause by providing supplies, furnishing money, providing aid for injured soldiers, etc...You will note that the first five generations on all six applications are the same. From there on names are of Anna Cordelia Jessup's parents and various grandparents and great grandparents. Blood descendants of these people are eligible for membership, including you, your father, and your children...[signed]" [The letter came with a rudimentary, handwritten, partial pedigree and six partial DAR applications in a small, metal-clasp envelope that has no address, return address, nor postage upon it. JDS] [MAY1999, letter]
