ANCESTOR'S SERVICE.
" SECTION I. Any man shall be eligible to membership in the Society who, being of the age of twenty-one years or over, and a citizen
of good repute in the community, is the lineal descendant of an ancestor who was at all times unfailing in his loyalty to, and rendered active
service in, the cause of American independence, either as an officer, soldier, seaman, marine, militiaman, or minute man, in the armed forces
of the Continental Congress, or of any one of the several Colonies or States, or as a signer of the Declaration of Independence; or as a member
of a Committee of Safety or Correspondence; or as a member of any Continental, Provincial, or Colonial Congress or Legislature; or as a
recognized patriot who performed actual service by overt acts of resistance to the authority of Great Britain."-Constitution of Nationa/ Society
S. A. R., Article III, Section 1, adopted June 3, 1907.
Membership is based upon one original claim; when the applicant derives eligibility by descent from more than
one ancestor, and it is desired to take advantage thereof, separate applications, to be marked "Supplemental Applica-
tion," should be made in each case and filed with the original.
State fully such documentary or traditional authority as you found the following record upon, and also the residence of ancestors, with
dates of birth and death, if known.
By order of the Board of Trustees, May 3, 1911, the recipient of a certificate granted on this application agrees to surrender his certificate
upon failure to pay his membership fee, unless his membership shall cease by reason of death or actual disability, to be determined by the
Society of which he is a member.
