Continuing in my series of ancestorial veterans, this article identifies Cook family ancestors who served in the Revolutionary War. In doing so, some, if not all, of these ancestors allow family members to qualify for memberships in the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). DAR membership is open to any woman 18 years or older who can document that their ancestor helped to secure the United States' independence. The organization was founded in 1890. Nearly a million women have been members since its founding. Currently, they have 180,000 members with 3,000 chapters nationwide.
Since my readers link in at various parts of our family line, I will provide the link from my wife’s grandparents, so you can be sure which ancestor is yours. I won’t repeat too much of what I have written about some of them in previous articles, so if you are missing those biographies, let me know. I have also indicated the DAR Ancestor Number when found.
