Spent a little bit of today checking my ancestors to see if any of the Revolutionary War Ancestors were listed on the Daughters of the American Revolution site. I knew I had "old" blood as I know all of my GGG Grandparents were in America before the Revolution(with the exception of the Cook line which I only have back to early 1800s) I have finished checking lineage through my paternal lines and I have 7 lines I could use for membership. The easiest to prove would be my lineage to Nathan Frizzel/Frissel. Someone has already proven this line to my Gr Gr Grandparents. I have my Great Grandmother's Death Cert. which has their names on it. as well as census info showing her in their household listed as their daughter. Interesting and I may try this some time down the road.
So far these are the Rev. War Ancestors from Dad's side
- Nathan Frissell Ancestor # A042773(4th Great Grandfather)
- Charles Brandon Ancestor # A204962(5th Great Grandfather)
- Leroy Upshaw Ancestor # A118102(5th Great Grandfather)
