Mr. Brown, I have a dilemma concerning the DAR and since you are a member,
of sorts, I was hoping that perhaps you provide me with the correct avenue
to take in solving my problem.  We know that grandmother was asked to join
the DAR but for whatever reason she did not follow through on it.  Possibly
old age.  At any rate we are now wondering which ancestor it was that
qualified her for membership.  She was a Bassett out of Barnwell District
SC and her ancestral line is of course Bassett and maternal were
Jackson,Googe, Cone, Creech and Preacher as far back as we have them.  Who
could I contact to find out why they offered her membership and for what
ancestor?

Thank You
