Our second aim was to provide a beginning list of soldiers and sailors who served during the time period. Our third aim'was to provide adeqtlate refersnces for those descendants who wanted to join the NSSAR. The NSSAR began accepting applicants who descend from Spanish soldiers in March, 1998, so the first aim was accomplished. li. ; Part 1 was really our first year of work on this project. As we began our second year of work for Part 2, we wanted to find other soldiers and sailor"and patriots who served during the time period in or for California. We also wanted to show how non- soldiers and non-soldier families made their way into California and intermarried with soldiers. We wanted to extend the documentation for descendant families. Finally, we wanted to indicate how California fitted into the overall activities of Spain's Northwest ;~ [. .. Frontier. If:'" Part 2 is arranged so that all those non-natives known to have come before 1800 are shown chronologically. (We recognize that the native Indians contributed more DNA to present descendants of the 1800 mix of the California's population than any other group. By 1850, most had adopted Spanish names; and Anglos could not readily distinguish those with Spanish ancestry from others whose ancestry was all Indian. Unfortunately, we do not have many compiled records of the descendants of Patriot Indians who contributed to Spain's war effort.) We have indicated with an asterisk in each population group those we know to have been patriots. We were able to include additional soldierPatriots from the,Yuma Massacre activities and from the Presidio of Loreto. We gained an appreciation of the large number of sailors, over lO00, who served from San Blas and Manila during the war period. We were unable to fred ship rosters. Recognizing that priests were ordered to lead prayers for the success of Spain's efforts, we have included them as patriots. Further, those civilian settlers at Yuma who fought and died for their homes are also included. ~. '-.~-, .;,.. ~,;'. r,.; ~'. :.. ~t '!' We do include some more materials to help applicants, particularly the LDS references and the republished work of Dorothy Oittinger Mutnick. :(>- .. ,.~ I i," q t" ".1" What we found of most interest is that California was merely part of the larger 14,.., i i.3 ." - activities ofth~ Provincias Intemas in Spain's strategic efforts. As a result, we concluded .... < that the NSSAR should also reco~i~e Spain's patriots in all the border areas which became part of the United States, as well as their supporting areas in Northern Mexico. Our final thought is the same as that expressed by the historian, Herbert E. "I;, ';. Bolton, who suggested that The American Revolution can be considered a rather limited affair between an European country and her colonies on the East Coast of America; or it -9 ..... .,}... i i, , ..... % ..° In [.! .......... Jl. l ~n ........ can be considered THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, which freed a whole continent from European domination by 1821, and whose ideas are still being used today. Certainly the Spanish soldiers and sailors who fought England became aware that they could also throw offthe European yoke if the English colonists were able to do so, and they soon began to do it. With that viewpoint, anyone on the Spanish Borderlands who fought for the King of Spain, 1779-1783, during the American Revolution, was also kindling the fires fo.,their own revolut:,ons. We believe any descendants who want to %. become Sons of the American Revolution should be able to do so. Granville W. and N. C. Hough, 30 Dec 1998.
