Way to go, Dolphin!
Also keep in mind that while the DAR Patriot Index is a pretty broad collection of American patriots, it is not exhaustive. It is possible to prove an ancestor's service, even if they're not in the PI.
For example, if you know what state your ancestor lived in, you may be able to look up the pension roles from the military, or other comprehensive documents. Ancestry.com, for example, is *really* good about collecting this info. If you know the town they lived in, the local historical society might help as well.
Good luck!
