[or-roots] Finding ancestors in Revolutionary and Civil War

[Harguess, Dale]

There were a lot of Patriots that weren’t soldiers.  If you held a public office, like Justice of the Peace or were a member of a school board or other public official.  Some clergymen were considered Patriots because they gave services to the troops and of course people who supplied goods or services to the troops or militias were also considered Patriots.

Do you have a name that you are wanting to know about?  I could look him up in the DAR Patriot index.

Dale,

 

Thanks for the bit about Patriots not needing to be combatants, that would not have occurred to me.
