INTRODUCTIONi It has been my honor and privilege to compile and ed-
it the wealth of material submitted for inclusion in this Special
Bicentennial Commemorative Issue of The Quarterly, which is the Bi-
centennial Project of The Local History & Genealogical Society, and
which has been duly approved by the Dallas American Revolution Bi-
centennial Corporation.
I have revered each Revolutionary War Ancestor, and his wife,
and found each one worthy of grateful respect for their courage,
sacrifices and service which made possible the freedoms of this be-
loved Nation whose 200th Birthday we are all so joyously celebrat-
ing while we renew our devotion and loyalty to our Country.
Since the wife of every Revolutionary War Ancestor is also a
Revolutionary War Ancestor/Ancestress, we have a double debt of
gratitude, and I noted with special pride the recognized service of
a number of the wives.
By their examples, these Revolutionary War Ancestors, Patriots,
both men and women, have given us the courage, inspiration and nec-
essary strength to go forward in preserving the greatness and con-
tinuing strength of our one Nation under God!
EXPLANATION OF FORMAT: The format has been kept simple, using 3 col-
umns. A code number has been assigned to each individual's entry.
The individual is listed, in alphabetical order, giving surname first,
with name of husband or wife, or parents if the individual is a child,
or no name of wife, if any, was given. We then proceed to the Revo-
lutionary War Ancestor and his wife, who are listed in the center col-
umn. In the third column we find the date, and service if available,
listed. Where no information was given regarding service or date
thereof, the Compiler-Editor, after careful research, supplied that
information wherever possible, using the DAR Patriot Index, publish-
ed by the NSDAR, Washington, D.C., 1966; and The First Supplement to
the DAR Patriot Index, and The Second Supplement to the DAR Patriot
Index, as the source reference authority. Abbreviations used are self
-explanatoryr for examples b. born, m. married, d. died, etc.
The code number appears on a card which gives all pertinent in-
formation in summary form. The same code number appears on the orig-
inal lineage papers submitted, which are on file in numerical, alpha-
betical order, as are the cards, in the Genealogy Library of the Dal-
las Public Library, and should provide valuable source reference data.
