Our Patriot Ancestors

Each of the men and women listed below assisted the cause of freedom during the American Revolutionary War. Some of them served in the military, served as public officials, signed oaths of loyalty to the new government, and donated supplies to help the armed forces. The Patriots listed here are the ancestors of members of the Rincon del Diablo Chapter, NSDAR. We honor their service and keep their memories alive.

Patriots are grouped by the state of service and then listed alphabetically by last name. Scroll down to see whether you share an ancestor with one of our members. We hope these names help others in their quest to prove family lineage and their application to the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution.
