  • FLSSAR Strategic Plan
    Florida Society Sons of the American Revolution Strategic Planning Initiative Research Paper Submitted to: President Raymond F. Wess, FLSSAR TABLE OF CONTENTS I. Organization Description II. Environmental Scan III. Competition Analysis IV. Strengths and Weaknesses V. Finances VI. Attachments Prepared by FLSSAR Ad Hoc Strategic Planning Committee John M. Stewart, Chairman Charles R. Butler, Ralph D. Nelson, Jr., Lee W. Matson, Co-Chairmen May 3, 2017 1 Research Paper I. Organization Description Data Sources: The Florida Society's Articles of Incorporation, Website, and its published documents. When the FLSSAR enrolled its first Compatriot in 1893, Grover Cleveland was President of the United States; Florida was only sixteen years beyond the departure of its last Reconstruction troops. Coal, horses, and waterwheels powered America, and the telegraph was high technology communication. Over its nearly thirteen decades of existence, the Florida Society has made various structural, policy and operational adjustments, but the essence of the organization has remained essentially unchanged: The FLSSAR is a lineage organization established to perpetuate, and commemorate the founding principles of our republic. The charter purposes of the FLSSAR are and always will be valid. Nevertheless, the processes and procedures of its programs, operations and initiatives must be assessed periodically, and modernized to accommodate changing times. GROVER CLEVELAND The objects of the Sons of the American Revolution are declared to be patriotic, historical, and educational. Our goals are to inspire the American community at large with a profound reverence of true patriotism and to maintain and extend the institution of American Freedom. We endeavor to do this in a variety of ways through youth programs such as: elementary school American history contests, Eagle Scout recognitions, awards, and essay contests, JROTC awards, and youth scholarships and service awards.

  • Sons of the Revolution in the State of New
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Sons of the Revolution℠ in the State of New York, Inc. honor Robert M. S. McDonald at their annual George Washington Birthday Ball New York: On February 16, 2018 Sons of the Revolution℠ in the State of New York, Inc. (SRNY) hosted the 141st Annual George Washington Birthday Ball in honor of George Washington and to benefit Fraunces Tavern® Museum. This year’s Distinguished Patriot Award was presented to Robert M. S. McDonald of the United States Military Academy. The award ceremony and gala dinner was emceed by NBC’s George Whipple III and took place at a private club in Manhattan. It was a fantastic evening honoring McDonald and celebrating the 286th birthday of George Washington. President of the SRNY, Ambrose Richardson, stated in his welcoming remarks: “Tonight we celebrate George Washington, [a man who] spent seven and a half years in the field risking his life, to oppose the greatest military force in the world, and was unanimously chosen as President by the electors on two occasions.” McDonald, a professor of history at the United States Military Academy, author, and specialist on the early American Republic, echoed that sentiment: “Toward the end of the Revolution, when [King] George III heard of Washington's plans to give up power, resign his commission, and return home to Mount Vernon, he scoffed in disbelief. 'If he does that,' the king said, 'then surely he's the world's greatest man.' And that's exactly what George Washington did, and that's exactly what George Washington was." All funds raised from the event benefit Fraunces Tavern Museum, a program of the SRNY that has been serving the NYC community for over 110 years and the historic site where George Washington gave his final farewell toast to his officers on December 4, 1783.

    Copyright: Ontario County INDEX TO THE BURIAL PLACES OF REVOLUTIONARY PATRIOTS IN AND AROUND ONTARIO COUNTY, NEW YORK Second Edition COMPILED BY PRESTON E. PIERCE ONTARIO COUNTY HISTORIAN PUBLISHED BY THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY HISTORIAN DIVISION OF HUMAN SERVICES ONTARIO COUNTY CANANDAIGUA, NEW YORK 1996 CONTENTS Introduction...............................................3 Limitations................................................5 Index To The Known Burial Places...........................7 People Who May Be Revolutionary Patriots and People Whose Burial Places Are Unknown............................48 Ontario County Cemeteries.................................67 Ontario County Revolutionary War Veterans Pension Applications Held by Ontario County.................. Death Notices from Geneva Newspapers...................... Suspended Pension Claims.................................. INTRODUCTION After the American Revolution, the land now included in Ontario County was sold by the Iroquois to two military and civil service veterans: Oliver Phelps and Nathanial Gorham. Almost immediately, other Revolutionary patriots entered upon the land as real estate agents, farmers, merchants, and craftsmen. It has been conventional wisdom that many veterans of the Sullivan-Clinton expedition (1779) remembered the quality of this land they devastated and returned after the war to live upon it. As a consequence, many patriots of the Revolution were eventually laid to rest within the present boundaries of Ontario County. Early local histories reveal that there has always been some interest in Revolutionary patriots. Late in the 1800's that interest increased tremendously with the founding of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Sons of the American Revolution, and the Sons of the Revolution in the State of New York. At the turn of the century, renewed interest in the colonial era fortified interest in the Revolution generally.

  • Researching Revolutionary War Ancestors
    Abrams Collection Genealogy Highlights Researching Revolutionary War Ancestors Spring 2008 Q Vol. 10, No. 2 When one thinks of the American Revolution, Massachusetts often comes to mind before Michigan. However, some scholarly research places Michigan more prominently in this conflict because of the Great Lakes. This shift in geographical emphasis is more apparent if the French and Indian War is viewed as a precursor to the Revolution, an argument sustained by the contributors to The Sixty Years War for the Great Lakes, 1754-1814 (Michigan F 551 .S53 2001), which focuses on Michigan and the struggle for control of the region. Beyond the forts at the Straits of Mackinac and Detroit, Fort Pitt, a hub of activity during the Revolution, was well linked to Detroit. After the western Pennsylvania-based Whiskey Rebellion in 1794, many Pittsburg residents migrated west and can be found in Detroit records and documents. Where the military dwelled, American families soon followed. Regardless of origin, many Michiganians may be able to trace their family back to the Revolution.

  • Eisenhower, Dwight D.: Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69
    EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: POST-PRESIDENTIAL PAPERS, 1961-69 1969 PRINCIPAL FILE Series Description This series contains correspondence that Dwight D. Eisenhower received during the last three months of his life as well as some letters and memos from staff in April and May 1969. Eisenhower spent the entire January to March period at Walter Reed. Robert Schulz, Eisenhower’s aide, responded to the bulk of the letters, cards, and telegrams written to Eisenhower and indicated to many correspondents that Eisenhower’s health problems made it impossible for him to make a personal response. Nonetheless, there are a limited number of letters from Eisenhower to individuals, including Harold Macmillan, Charles de Gaulle, Walter Cronkite, and Earl Warren. In March 1969 Eisenhower wrote a letter to Irving Berlin thanking him for the “wonderful melodies” he had created for everyone to enjoy. The series is divided into three subseries; the Subject Subseries, the Alphabetical Subseries, and the Bulk Mail Subseries. The first two subseries contain most of the correspondence and the last subseries contains the larger, bulky items staff did not want to mix with the correspondence. Besides cards and letters, some people sent Eisenhower gifts of books, poems, flowers, and candy. Some of the subjects covered in the correspondence include fund raising efforts for the Eisenhower College, the publication and sale of Eisenhower’s In Review, the Johns Hopkins Press project to published a selection of Eisenhower’s records, the National Railroad Museum and the Eisenhower locomotive and cars, and Eisenhower’s response to the John Birch Society and the book The Politician.

Mr. Chairman and Fellow Members of the Pennsylvania Society of ~ Sons of the Revolution : In accordance with our usual custom to commemorate some historic event, you have come to the scene of the encampment at White Marsh and Fort Washington. Let me remind you how­ ever that unlike other expeditions, you are on this occasion, on hallowed ground, literally surrounded by localities closely id.enti­ fied with the active events of the War of the Revolution. Along here marched the militia, under •' General Potter to Militia Hill, and along this Skippack road, through these fields, the militia were supposed to be , on guard at the time of the attempt to capture Lafayette at Barren Hill, just beyond the wood on the right. Directly in front is St. Thomas' Church, occupied by both armies, and where Gen. Wayne rallied the troops after the battle of Germantown. In the rear is Edge Hill, the scene of a fierce fight at the time of Howe's threatened attack on Fort Washington. To the left is Fort Washington, where a part of the army encamped, de­ fended by a redout that can still be seen.
