IVY MOORE/THE SUMTER ITEM From left, Arthuree Brazilia Howard Ricks, Susan Saunders and Tiffanie Wilson Bucci look through some of the extensive research that proved Bucci and Ricks are direct descendants of Gen. Thomas Sumter. Saunders is the registrar of Sumter’s Home Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, who completed much of the research with Bucci. Bucci is the first descendant of Gen. Sumter who is a member of Sumter’s Home Chapter. Ricks is Bucci’s grandmother; she said she plans to apply later.

ational Society Daughters of the American Revolution is all about ge- Nnealogy. To become a member, appli- cants must prove beyond doubt that they are descended from an individual who aided in the American struggle for independence. Yet, in all its 116 years of existence, the local chapter of NSDAR has never had a member descended directly from Gen. Thomas "The Gamecock" Sumter, for whom Sumter's Home Chapter, NSDAR is named and who is chapter Patriot. Until now. With the pinning of Tiffanie Wilson Bucci on Dec. 7, the chapter marked another milestone in its history. That came after months of diligent and challenging research, as well as DNA testing, that has proved conclusively that Bucci is indeed descended from the famous general. Bucci's grandmother, Arthuree Brazilia Howard Ricks, other relatives and community members have known for nine generations that Gen.
