O I H N Y J S A ! UI C . HE PATRIOTIC Americans Of the Nine teenth Century owe an apology to the world for neglecting so long to gather up the minor facts of the Revolution and do

i f 1 6 honor to the individual patr ots o 7 7 . Three - qu arters of the century had passed away before there was made any organized movement to perpetuate the memories Of individual members

Of i Of i that grand , but rregular , band patr ots who had dared f Of i i to brave the ury and strength a tyrann cal k ng , and who

i i ei i i x by the r res stance , th r devot on , and the r e treme self s acriﬁce n i i i n i , an ulled the author ty of that k ng th s land , and made possi ble the ere ction of a government best suited ﬁ e i i . to the ne ds of an ndependent , enl ghtened people At rst thought i t seems strange th at SO long a time elapsed before any eff ort was made to compile the records of the Revolution i i i i S O i ary sold ers , and stranger st ll that fam l es had taken l ttle care to preserve i n unmistakable form the names and services Of their individual an cestors ; but when we come to study the i i c e . cond t ons more los ly , the reasons are apparent The

i Of i Of a h l , p tr ots t e Revo ut on were , for the most part men i i i n small means , the wealth er class hav ng , almost a body , remained loyal to the crown ; and the close Of the war found

i i ri those patr ots poorer st ll , for , du ng the struggle , the lead i ng cities had been much Of t h e time i n the hands of the i enemy , trade and agr culture had been neglected , and the i i i n i i sold ers had been pa d , when at all , a scr p wh ch at the washington S ocietg time was worth but little and which did not attain face value ’ i it Of i i unt l had passed out the r hands . In fact the sold ers fﬁ S i pay had scarce su ced to keep hoes upon the r feet .

i i it The war left the sold ers poor , and w th them was a struggle during the rest of thei r lives to provide even to an x i i i insufficient e tent for the r fam l es . Many of them with ox - i teams turned the r faces toward western New York , or to ! ” i the dark and bloody ground of Kentucky , or to the w lder i in ness of Oh o , and there they , and most cases two genera i i t ons of the r descendants , labored to hew homes from the i if i i n i i i i i i forest , and ga n , poss ble , add t on to the r pol t cal nde i i i endence fi . p , a nanc al one Under such cond t ons the Revo l uti ona ry soldier found no ti me to make a record of his past ; he pointed to the flintl ock upon the wall of h is l ogh ous e and did told its story to h is children . But why they need to record i t! D id they not have him to tell i t! They were i i i i fam l ar w th the broken sold er who , i K ndly bade to stay, S at by the fi re and talked the night away ; ’ o er hi s w of w Wept ounds, or tales sorro done, h i c S w h ow fi w e won Shouldered s crut h and ho ed elds er . Was not this more interesting than any written account! A half century passed away and with i t most of the i i in i ti i part c pants the struggle , and the r Revolu onary serv ces , i i i i i unrecorded as to deta ls , began to pass nto trad t on . At th s time some common movement to compile the indi vidual history would possibly have occurred had not the thoughts of ' i difierences i the people been turned to sect onal , wh ch were intensified year by year and finally culminated in another

i i i i . str fe , wh ch demanded all of the attent on of all Amer cans By the time this later and greater struggle had ended and the ﬁ i i i i rst b tter enm t es had g ven way to a deep , thankful , restful i i i feel ng of restored nat onal ty , a full hundred years had i i i elapsed S ince the b rth of our Nat on . The last Revolut on

i h ad ba ttlesmok e ary sold er gone , and the of three great intervening wars had bedimmed the traditi ons of that ﬁrst

vi Sons of the american Revolution

i i i common cause . The b ographer and the h stor an had recorded the deeds Of the leaders and the campaigns of the Of ff i iﬁ armies en masse , but the story the su er ng and sacr ces of the private soldier was unwritten except as it was con

ned i n w i t ai the yello ed muster rolls , pay rolls and pens on i i n i Of i records , h dden away the arch ves the Nat on and the i i i i Of i i i i or g nal states and the l brar es h stor cal soc et es , and i h i s hi s fre inaccess ble to descendants . Even name was quently a matter of dispute among h is grandchildren of the i third or fourth generat on .

The Americans o f 1 87 6 began to hunt out and treasure all that could be found touching the doings of their honored i F i i i ancestors . The Centenn al at a rmount Park , Ph ladelph a , - i i i prov ded just the st mulus needed , and the years s nce that

i i x i i - i great patr ot c e pos t on have proved a record search ng ,

We may say with truth that i n this quarter century has

i i i i n no i i been a rev val of Amer can sm , used part san or ant

i i i i i in 1 8 al en sense , beg nn ng w th the celebrat on 75 , when President Grant planted a beautiful young tree on Lexington Of i Common , a sort l berty tree monument to the memory of x i i i the past . The ne t year came the Centenn al at Ph ladelph a ,

i Of the most elaborate of all , and then followed a long l st i i i i hundredth ann versar es , commemorat ng the Evacuat on of S i New York , the urrender of Yorktown , the Inaugurat on of i i i . i Wash ngton , etc , unt l the l st closes w th our recent general

i 1 1 8 Of h im commemorat on , on December 4 , 99, of the death ! ” i i n - i i who was F rst the hearts Of h i s countrymen . CO nc dent wi th these earlier celebrations we ﬁ nd the birth of the

i a i i i i ﬁ i hered t ry patr ot c soc et es , the rst of wh ch appeared upon ciﬁc i the Pa Coast far from the hallowed ground . The t me i i i i was r pe for the work wh ch such soc et es could do , and ! ” ! z Of f of do ens them were ormed , sons , and daughters , ! ” c i i Of Of and h ldren , of the Revolut on , other wars , and f colonial times . The amount o good they have accomplished i its x i i can only be apprec ated to full e tent by the h stor an ,

One Of the good results of this renaissance of American i s m i a i i n i i t was the w despre d nterest ancestry wh ch aroused . And so readily did the people take up this work that i t is not strange that Observing vi s itors formed the Opini on that Amer icans spent an undue amount Of time searching for the names i and deeds of the r ancestors . But there was need for it ; w e had neglected to keep records ; the westward movement had separated families ; the keeping Of the family record in the family Bible was becoming Obsolete ; and we at last realized that in the rush and hurry of our lives we were actually i i i forgett ng fam ly h story , and were unable to answer the pertinent genealogical questions which the rising generations were asking .

The origin of the SOCIETY OF THE SONS OF THE AMER C N E OLU ON Of xi Of t wo I A R V TI , and the causes the e stence societies with S imilar names cannot be better given than by quoting almost verbatim from a paper wri tten by compatriot Henry Hall Of N ew York City (formerly Histori an General) and Ofﬁcially adopted by the NATIONAL S OCIETY SONS OF TH M R C N T N E A E I A REVOLU IO .

S OC E Y OF TH NC NN T in 1 8 The I T E CI I A I , formed 7 3 , was ﬁ i the rst , and for nearly one hundred years the only soc ety Of men whose membership was derived from the American Revo l ution F O i t i . rom the nature f s const tution i t has always been i i i a small soc ety , and has grown smaller w th t me . It takes i i n i ff i i s i i f i l ttle part publ c a a rs , and v rtually a del ght ul soc al

K washington Society

o i i i i club , or c llect on of soc al clubs , one of whose publ c serv ces has been to keep alive among its own members and their i mmediate relations a strong interest i n pedigree and in the i American Revolut on .

The first of the modern patri otic societies was known as i i ” Sons of Revolut onary S res , and , strangely , was formed P ifi i r on the ac c Coast, three thousand m les f om the ground made historic and hallowed by the struggle for American i i 2 i . 2 ndependence It was agreed upon and nst tuted October , ffi 1 8 O Of . . 75 , at the ce Dr John L Cogswell , on Kearney street in i an F i i i the c ty of S ranc sco , Cal forn a , where about ten men i i i i held a meet ng , by nv tat on of Doctor Cogswell , and resolved to form a society to be composed exclusively Of li nea l descend ants from the heroes and statesmen Of the American R ev olu i n i th i t on . O the follow ng 4 of July there was a publ c i i n an F i Of i process on S ranc sco , and about forty the e ghty Of new i i n i i members the soc ety paraded the process on , th rteen of them bearing shields emblematic Of the thirteen original i ffi States . The soc ety elected o cers that same day , and there

i i Of i i after , for years , held many publ c meet ngs a patr ot c and

i e i i n l terary charact r , whose proceed ngs were reported the newspapers and reprinted in what the society called ! bul ” i i n i i i . let ns , and the latter form w dely d str buted At that i i i Of 2 2 1 8 i or g nal meet ng October , 75 , Mr . Edw n Sherman , Of Nevada , who was present , suggested that the proposed S i i oc ety should be made a nat onal one , not local and accord

i n l i n 1 8 6 i i i i g y when , 7 , the Cal forn a Soc ety adopted a const ! ” t utio n i t i xi i cO - , prov ded for au l ary branches , equal i i i i soc et es , and a nat onal representat ve body . That word ! ” auxiliary cropped out afterwards i n the East i n a most x i i i Of ﬁ i une pected manner . Th s const tut on the rst soc ety of descendants Of the American Revolution ever formed since the i i i i i Revolut on tself, possesses genu ne h stor c value , and has i many unique features . Cop es were sent out all over the i i if i i i i S a . s n Un ted t tes And th s Cal orn a soc ety , fact , the i i i r p oneer , and led to the format on of all the modern hered ta y

patriotic societies . Sons of the (Imerican Revolution

of i i i i Some these l ttle books , w th the c rculars and bullet ns i i i i of the Cal forn a Soc ety , were sent year after year to res dents i i i x i i of New York C ty . The Cal forn a movement e c ted nterest in the East ; but Californi a was three thousand miles away and had never even been heard Of at the time of the American i i i is Revolut on , and there were those who felt that soc et es of th class could not be formed i n the East as the children of a i i n i i soc ety Cal forn a .

1 88 i n i In 3 , however , a few men New York C ty met and ! i i i S Of organ zed an ndependent soc ety there , called ons the ” i i Revolution . Thus the seed planted by Cal forn a had n i S sprouted at last i the metropolis . The new soc ety was mall

i n i ﬁ i . membersh p , and at rst ntended to be purely local But ﬁ i t i i i i i i nally also adopted a const tut on , prov d ng that soc et es i in Of i S m ght be formed other States , each wh ch hould be an ” ” xi i x i auxila r au l ary branch . That e press on , y branch , i i i ’ i i adopted from the Cal forn a Soc ety s const tut on , was an error i in of judgment , now at last confessed , but long pers sted . It ” xi i a nd i was that word au l ary , that alone , wh ch led to the f i i i Of creation O two sets of soc et es . A Soc ety of Sons the

i i i n i i in 1 888 Revolut on was organ zed Ph ladelph a , although i ! xi i refus ng to be au l ary to New York .

This movement of 1 883 awoke fresh interest i n the subject ! Of patrioti c societies i n the East ; but the word auxiliary prevented gentlemen i n New England and others of the orig i i i i i f i inal th rteen States from organ z ng soc et es O the r own . s i i Massachusett , Connect cut , and other States each suppl ed i far more men for the American Revolut on than New York . A natural pride prevented those states from being auxiliary

. For ﬁ v e to New York about years , therefore , these two societies in the East and the pioneer society in California were all there were of these modern societies .

1 888 In , a few New Jersey members of the New York i i Sons of the Revolut on proposed to form a New Jersey soc ety . The New York Sons told them they would be recognized only

X1 washington Society

a n xi i i i as au l ary soc ety , and not otherw se , and , further , that they would better join either the New York or Phil ad el ~ i Of i i S . ph a oc ety anyhow , and not have one the r own These

i i i i ers e en patr ot c and enterpr s ng J y m then went to work . In

i 1 88 iz the spr ng of 9 they organ ed , by correspondence and i i i i S i i n personal v s ts , State Soc et es of ons of the Revolut on i New Hampsh re , Vermont , Massachusetts , Rhode Island ,

ic i i n Connect ut , New Jersey , Delaware , Maryland , Oh o , Ind a a , i i i i i i Ill no s , West V rg n a , Arkansas , South Carol na , Kentucky i and Tennessee . They then called a convent on of them all , to

in i i 0 1 88 meet New York C ty , Apr l 3 , 9, the day of the great ’ celebration Of the 1 0 0th anniversary Of Washington s i naugu

i O i i i — rat on . The bject was to organ ze a nat onal soc ety mark —Of S Of i i n i the name ons the Revolut on , wh ch each State

i S co - i i z i Soc ety hould be a equal s ster organ at on , and none of ” xi i them au l ary to any other . They never dreamed of i i w forming a new organ zation . The r hole purpose was to i i i br ng the nﬂuence to bear , to nduce New York to repeal xi i i i n i i the au l ary art cle her const tut on .

Of i , h a If when t e New Yorkers he rd th s movement , they a l a al h ! a xilia ” i l h h d prompt y met nd repe ed t e u ry art c e , t ere

i i 0 never would have been two sets of soc et es . N one wanted f i i did two sets O soc et es ; no one thought of it . But what the New Yorkers do ! They actually met and adopted a new con s ti tuti on i n i xi i r i , h h a l a a l a l w ch t e u ry t c e was m de onger , x i i i i i i i i more e pl c t , and more b nd ng , thus gnor ng the patr ot c i i i i sent ment and natural pr de of every s ster state , and declar ng war upon any movement having for its Object the co- equality Of iff i i i the d erent State Soc et es . By mak ng all the other S xi i i tates au l ary to New York , the annual elect on of

i Oﬁi cers i n nat onal would have to be held New York , and would w al ays have been controlled by the local members .

TO i i xi i the Nat onal Convent on referred to , every e st ng S ci i i d f i o ety was nv ted , and elegates attended rom th rteen out O f w i i i i i n i i i h , l al al a t e t enty nc ud ng the or g n one C forn , w th s i persons pre ent from New York and Pennsylvan a . The

especial society that admitted no man to membership unless he was a li nea l descendant of a patriot of the Ameri can R evolu i i i i t on . The w sdom of these prov s ons has been so apparent i i e a S l a , 1 88 th t the ons of the Revo ut on h ve s nce the ev nts of 9, al ! a xilia a i l in i i i a repe ed the u ry rt c e the r const tut on , nd still later have abolished their long - cherished provision for i i a dm ss on by collateral descent . It has been on account of our i i i str ct requ rement for membersh p , and because of the thorough Americanism of our organization and the public spiri t of our x i i members , that an e ceed ngly large number of men of h gh social position and national reputation have joined our society i i i n all parts of the country . The very r g d and excellent ' i diﬂerent i applicat on blank , now used by all the Soc eties of i i i Sons and Daughters , or g nated w th us , and has been adopted

A movement for the union Of the NATIONAL S OC IETY OF THE SONS OF THE AMER ICAN REVOLUTION and the General Society of the Sons of the Revolution began Movements toward f i NA i very soon after the ormat on of the Un on . TI ONAL SOCIETY OF THE SONS OF THE AMER ICAN REVOLUTION in 1 889; but the overtures of the National Oﬂi cers of the SONS OF THE AMER ICAN REVOLUTION i i i were not cord ally rec procated by those of the other Soc ety , i and little progress toward un on was made for three years . i i Of in i in The ag tat on the subject , however , set operat on the Society Of the Sons of the Revolution inﬂuences favorable to i Of i i i i an amalgamat on , one the fru ts of wh ch was the abol t on ” of the ! auxiliary clause in thei r constitution which had i i been the bone of so much content on , and the adopt on of a form of organization based more nearly on the representative i i . s American i dea About th s t me , everal of the larger and

Our oc et es , so nv ted , feel g that as i i in i i i State Soc et es they could not , good fa th w th the r asso i i i i i i c ates , accept such nv tat ons , repl ed that they could un te with the Society of the S ons of the Revolution only under a

I was kep here 8 Days then Sent on board a Ship where I continued 3 9 Days and lived much worse than when on Shore after was I set on Shore at Newyork confined under a Strong guard till the 8th Day of November after which I have had my liberty to walk i i i part over the C ty between sun and sun .
