MARILYN

Now I can complete the applications of my grandchildren for CAR, and of my nieces and nephews who want to join. I joined through the Carpenter line, the progenitor of which was Samuel Carpenter who settled Pennsylvania with William Penn, and was the first Treasuer of the province. The Carpenters were Quakers, but Revolutionary War service was achieved bu eing paymaster and quartermaster for Salem and Gloucester Counties, New Jersey. Now I an going to apply for DAC, Daughters of American Colonists. I have decided to use a Fish line, probably Keteltas. My aim is to join the different organizations through different ancestors to document as many lines as possible. For the Mayflower Society I will have to use a Chapel line, as both of my known Mayflower ancestors come through this line. I am also being pressured to join Palatines to America. I will probably use the Eackers or the Herkimers for this. Huguenot Society also has several possibilities; I haven't decided which way to go for them. Now i am getting way ahead of myself. It took me long enough just to do the DAR! Not that it was difficult, I just don't have enough hours in a day. Barbara
