Background

Scope and content:

This collection is composed of family group sheets listing Loudoun County revolutionary war patriots and their descendants. Information provided varies from patriot to patriot depending on availability of documentation and may include sources from which the information was obtained. For the most part the family group sheet for the patriot is identified by a pink star. Family group sheets are filed alphabetically by patriot last name, followed by family group sheets of family members. McIllhaney patriots are located in a separate folder due to the large number of family group sheets available. Information on one patriot, Mason French (1759-1817) in folder 6 was supplied by Margaret R. Amundson, a genealogical researcher in Maryland; other forms were completed by Mary K. Hubbard. Additions will be made to the collection by the Ketoctin Chapter.

Biographical / historical:

The Ketoctin Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) was organized 5 April 1951 at the home of Martha L. Kidd McComb (Mrs. Frank W. McComb, 1897-1972) who became the first regent. In 1987 Mary K. Hubbard (Mrs. Robert M. Schroeder) was elected regent of the Ketoctin Chapter of the NSDAR. During the two year term of office each regent is to sponsor a project. Loudoun County furnished more soldiers than any other county in Virginia according to returns of 1780 and 1781 with the militia numbering 1,746. As her project, Hubbard began a two year genealogical initiative to research the history of Loudoun County's revolutionary war patriots and their descendants, create a genealogical history of members of the Ketoctin Chapter to be made available for researchers, and to provide free Loudoun County research to any DAR member. This collection represents data gathered on Loudoun County revolutionary war patriots and their descendants.
