Membership Eligibility

Any woman over the age of 18, and who is lineally descended from one who served, or was loyal to the cause of American Independence, is eligible for membership in the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution.  This would be someone who served as a sailor, soldier, civil officer, or who rendered material aid to the Colonies and/or paid taxes.
