We aspire to inspire.

Membership

The General James Breckinridge Chapter NSDAR welcomes new members to participate in the promotion of historical preservation, educational growth and knowledge, and above all to inspire patriotism by honoring our ancestors.

Any woman 18 years or older who can prove lineal, bloodline descent from an ancestor who aided in achieving American independence is eligible to join the DAR. She must provide documentation for each statement of birth, marriage and death, as well as of the Revolutionary War service of her patriot ancestor.

A patriot is not limited to those who served in the military service during the American Revolutionary War and includes:

Signers of the Declaration of Independence;
Members of the Continental Congress;
Civil servants (i.e., state and town officials, judges, clerks, jailers, sheriffs, constables);
Doctors and nurses who provided care to the military soldiers; and
Participants of the Boston Tea Party.
