Howdy, all...
So I finally got my application for Sons of the Republic of Texas completed and sponsored. I hope to be accepted into the La Bahia chapter in Goliad soon. My lineage was through Daniel Warfield Fuller who was in the Archer Campaign during the Indian uprisings in the summer of 1840. He came to Texas in 1834. Fortunately, my grandmother was a genealogist, so the combination of her records and ancestry.com made that process fairly easy...
Now, Sons of the American Revolution, not so much. My lineage is from Robert Young, Sr. who is credited with shooting Major Patrick Ferguson at the Battle of King's Mountain on 7 Oct 1780. This story is chronicled here: [url=https://texags.com/forums/Robert%20Young,%20Sr.%20at%20Battle%20of%20King's%20Mountain]Battle of King's Mountain[/url]. My lineage is secured through his daughter Elizabeth who married John Gilliland who gave birth to Abel Gilliland - Daniel Fuller's father-in-law.
So, having said all that, here is my question for those who have joined SAR before... Knowing that birth certificates, death certificates, etc. can be hard to acquire more than four or five generations back, will SAR recognize the genealogy published in this book as evidence of my lineage?
Robert Young, Sr., Patriot and Pioneer
I am mentioned along with the members of my family mentioned above...
Any help anyone could provide would be appreciated!
