AchtungBaby -
I just looked up that person's name on the online Patriot Index. He's not listed, but that may only mean that none of his descendants applied for DAR membership.
Patriots served in all kinds of capacities, not just military. There were munitions suppliers, farmers, even ministers in the PI.
Just some info to think on.
