 HE NATIONAL Society 
 of the Sons of the Amer- 
 ican Revolution, a patri- 
 otic Society, whose mem- 
 bership has always been 
 based upon lineal descent 
 \f&gj from participants 
 ^*^^ in American Revolution, 
 'i was first organized in the 
 State of California in the 
 year 1875, as the Sons of Revolution- 
 ary Sires. A National organization 
 was formed April 30, i88g, by the 
 union of co-equal State Societies un-r 
 der the name of the Sons of the Amer- 
 ican Revolution. It was incorporated 
 by special act of Congress June 6, 
 1906.- It is cpmposed of 46 State So- 
 cieties, and Societies in tK6 District of 
 Columbia, Hawaii, the Philippines and 
 France. 
 
 PURPOSES AND OBJECTS 
 The purposes and objects of this 
 Society are declared to be patriotic, 
 historical, and educational, and shall 
 include those intended or designed to 
 perpetuate the memory of the men 
 who, by their services or sacrifices 
 during the war of the American Revo- 
 lution, achieved the independence of 
 the American people; to unite and 
 promote fellowship among their de- 
 scendants; to inspire them and the 
 community at large with a more pro- 
 found reverence for the principles of 
 the Government founded by our fore- 
 fathers; to encourage historical 
 research in relation to the American 
 Revolution; to acquire and preserve 
 the records of the individual services 
 
of the patriots of the war, as well as 
 documents, relics, and landmarks; to 
 mark the scenes of the Revolution by 
 appropriate memorials; to celebrate 
 the anniversaries of the prominent 
 events of the war and of the Revolu- 
 tionary period; to foster true patriot- 
 ism; to maintain and extend the 
 institutions of American freedom, and 
 to carry out the purposes expressed in 
 the preamble of the Constitution of 
 our country and the injunctions of 
 Washington in his farewell address to 
 the American people. 
 
 REASONS FOR MEMBERSHIP 
 
 It is a practical way of honoring a 
 man's patriotic forefathers. 
 
 The Society encourages continued 
 public interest in the men and events 
 of the American Revolution. 
 
 To the youth of the families of 
 members it teaches important lessons 
 of patriotism and good citizenship. 
 
 It preserves for future generations 
 the family pedigrees of members back 
 to the period of the Revolution. 
 
 By the wide distribution of leaflets 
 printed in the leading European lan- 
 guages it teaches the millions of aliens 
 in the United States what the Nation 
 stands for, what it means for them to 
 become a part of the body politic, 
 participating in the duties and respon- 
 sibilities of active citizens in an intel- 
 ligent manner. 
 
 It is non-sectarian, non-political, 
 uniting in friendly relationship men of 
 all creeds, men of the North, South, 
 East and West. 
 
 QUALIFICATIONS FOR MEMBERSHIP 
 
 Any man shall be eligible to mem- 
 bership in the Society who, being of 
 
the age of twenty-one years or over, 
 and a citizen of good repute in the 
 community, is the lineal descendant of 
 an ancestor who was at all times un- 
 failing in his loyalty to, and rendered 
 active service in, the cause of Ameri- 
 can Independence, either as an officer, 
 soldier, seaman, marine, militiaman or 
 minute man, in the armed forces of 
 the Continental Congress, or of any 
 one of the several Colonies or States, 
 or as a Signer of the Declaration of 
 Independence; or as a member of a 
 Committee of Safety or Correspond- 
 ence; or as a member of any Conti- 
 nental, Provincial, or Colonial Con- 
 gress or Legislature; or as a recognized 
 patriot who performed actual service 
 by overt acts of resistance to the 
 authority of Great Britain. 
 
 HOW TO BECOME A MEMBER 
 
 Trace your lineage back to the 
 period of the Revolution through pa- 
 ternal and maternal lines and ascertain 
 the names and residences of all male 
 lineal ancestors of proper age for 
 active participation in the struggle for 
 Independence. This search may be 
 glided by family papers and tradi- 
 tions, by published and original pro- 
 bate and land records of towns and 
 counties, and by tombstone inscrip- 
 tions. Search printed and manuscript 
 records of military and naval service. 
 Where two or more men of the same 
 name are recorded from the same 
 locality, identify as your own ancestor 
 the one upon whom claim is based. 
 Names of German, Dutch, or French 
 origin may be disguised by translation 
 into English or by various phonetic 
 spellings. 
 
References to manuscript sources 
 must be accompanied by officially 
 certified copies. 
 
 Individual Membership is through 
 one cf the State Societies and all are 
 members of the National Society of 
 the Sons of the American Revolution. 
 
 Fees and dues are regulated by the 
 State Societies. 
 
 Application for membership is made 
 on standard blanks, furnished by the 
 State Societies. These blanks call for 
 ^he place and date of birth and of 
 death of the Revolutionary ancestor 
 and the year of birth, of marriage, and 
 of death of ancestors in intervening 
 generations. Membership is based on 
 one original claim; additional claims 
 are filed in supplemental papers. The 
 applications and supplementals are 
 made in duplicate. One copy remains 
 with the State Society and one copy is 
 permanently preserved in the Regis- 
 trar General's Office, where a refer- 
 ence card index is kept of member's 
 names and of their Revolutionary 
 Ancestors. 
 
 SOURCES OF REVOLUTIONARY 
 SERVICE RECORD 
 
 There is no complete roll of soldiers 
 and sailors and civil patriots of the 
 Revolution. The following are some 
 of the principal sources of informa- 
 tion. In calling for certification of 
 service record give the full name and 
 residence of the ancestor. 
 
 National 
 
 The Bureau of Pensions has claim 
 papers of about 70,000 Revolutionary 
 soldiers and their widows. The U. S. 
 Commissioner of Pensions, Washing- 
 ton, D. C, will furnish abstracts of 
 
service from the records without 
 charge. Lists of pensioners, arranged 
 by States, were published by the Gov- 
 ernment in 1820, 1835 and 1840, but 
 the documents are not generally avail- 
 able for examination. 
 
 The Adjutant General, U. S. Army, 
 War Department, is in charge of all 
 muster and pay rolls of soldiers in 
 possession of the Government and will 
 furnish abstracts of service without 
 charge to applicants who give a valid 
 reason for desiring the information. 
 
 The Navy Department is gathering 
 material relating to service in the 
 Navy.

 WHAT THE SOCIETY HAS 
 ACCOMPLISHED 
 
 It has erected hundreds of monu- 
 ments and tablets to commemorate 
 events and men of the Revolution, and 
 to mark the battle fields and other his- 
 toric sites of the Revolutionary period. 
 It promotes the daily display of the 
 Stars and Stripes on all Public Build- 
 ings, and at every Post Office in the 
 land. It has marked the graves of 
 thousands of those who fought for 
 American Independence. It has res- 
 cued from oblivion the graves of sev- 
 eral of the Signers of the Declaration 
 of Independence, and has marked 
 them with appropriate memorials. It 
 has saved from destruction and 
 brought to light valued records of the 
 Revolution, and has secured the enact- 
 ment of laws for gathering together in 
 the War Department, and Navy De- 
 partment, the valuable muster and pay 
 rolls of soldiers and sailors in that 
 War. 
 
 It has promoted the patriotic edu- 
 cation of the youth of our country by 
 awarding medals and other prizes for 
 essays on historic topics. It has pre- 
 sented busts and portraits of eminent 
 Americans to schools and colleges. It 
 
 II 
 
has encouraged and taken part in the 
 celebration of patriotic anniversaries. 
 Flag Day, on June 14th, was first 
 observed in 1890 upon the recommen- 
 dation of the Connecticut Society of 
 the Sons of the American Revolution. 
 It has helped to secure the enactment 
 in most cf the States of laws prohibit- 
 ing the desecration of the Flag. It has 
 secured the preservation of some of 
 the most important battle field and 
 historic buildings of the Revolution as 
 National Memorials. It has assisted 
 in better citizenship by the wide dis- 
 tribution of leaflets to the Aliens and 
 in the lars^er cities by illustrated 
 lectures on our country given in their 
 own language. 
 
 It has gathered together in one So- 
 ciety since its organization in 1889 
 more than 23,000 members, many of 
 them leaders in statesmanship, in law 
 and medicine, in business affairs, in 
 military life, in literature and educa- 
 tion, all working together for a better 
 citizenship and a better country. 
 
 It has secured the publication cf the 
 rolls of more than 40,000 soldiers and 
 sailors of France who participated in 
 the American Revolution. It is secur- 
 ing the card indexing of the valuable 
 genealogical and historical data in the 
 papers of 70,000 pensions of the Rev- 
 olution for present reference and fu- 
 ture publication. 
 
 The Society publishes and distri- 
 butes in May, October, December, and 
 March an "Official Bulletin," review- 
 ing the current work of the organiza- 
 tion with records of new members; 
 and issues a Year Book containing the 
 Proceedings of the Annual Congresses 
 held in various parts of the country, 
 and the full pedigrees of members 
 enrolled each year. 
 
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA 
 SOCIETY 
 
 The District of Columbia Society is 
 one of the constituted bodies forming 
 the National Society of the Sons of 
 the American Revolution, chartered 
 hy Act of Congress and having about 
 23,000 members. Every member of 
 the District of Columbia Society and 
 other State Societies is ipso facto a 
 member of tne National Society.

 The initiation fee is five ($5.00) dol- 
 lars; the annual dues three ($3.00) dol- 
 lars, to be paid in advance on the 
 twenty-second of February each year. 
 
 The payment of fifty ($50.00) dol- 
 lars at one time constitutes a life 
 member, and the member so paying 
 is exempt from the payment of annual 
 dues. 
 
 In each case of transfer of members 
 from another State Society, or any 
 member of the Sons of the Revolu- 
 tion, in good standing, who is eligible 
 and acceptable under the constitution 
 of this Society joining this Society, 
 the initiation fee is not required. 
 
 WHAT THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA 
 SOCIETY DOES 
 
 It has been a potent factor in se- 
 curing legislation for patriotic ends 
 and its future influence in this direc- 
 tion will be insistent and thorough. 
 
 The Society is the ideal vehicle 
 through which to convey to all who 
 claim the protection of our Flag a 
 broadening spirit of initial American- 
 ism. 
 
 It maintains a Library. 
 
 13 
 
V/ithin its fraternal circles valuable 
 friendships are made, brilliant orations 
 are heard, delightful entertainments 
 are given and the ladies have their 
 evening. 
 
 Regular meetings are held during 
 November, December, January, Febru- 
 ary, March and April of each year 
 when its members come together in 
 social reunion, listen to patriotic and 
 historical addresses and musical pro- 
 grams of superior merit. "Ladies' 
 Night" has become a feature of the 
 "Winter's entertainment. The January 
 meeting is devoted to the Mothers, 
 Wives, Sisters, Daughters and Sweet- 
 hearts, when a specially arranged pro- 
 gram of music, addresses, supper and 
 dancing, is provided for their enter- 
 tainment. 
 
 In igoo, acting upon the request of 
 the Flag Committee of the District of 
 Columbia, the Commissioners of the 
 District issued a special order urging 
 citizens to display their flags on Flag 
 Day. For the first time the Commis- 
 sioners made a proclamation directing 
 special attention to the display of the 
 Flag of the United States on Flag Day. 
 
 As a result of the letter addressed 
 by the Flag Committee to the Gover- 
 nors of the several states of the Union 
 regarding the special observance of 
 Flag Day, proclamations covering the 
 matter were issued by Governor Bliss 
 of Michigan; Governor Otero, New 
 Mexico; Governor Stanley, Kansas; 
 Governor Toole, Montana; Governor 
 Orman, Colorado; Acting Governor 
 Cooper, Territory of Hawaii and the 
 Commissioners of the District of 
 Columbia. 
 
 It participates in all patriotic and 
 civic celebrations in our city and helps 
 
 14 
 
to keep alive, in other ways, the spirit 
 of patrictism and civic pride. On 
 June 14, 1901, the Society presented 
 43,000 small Flags to the school chil- 
 dren of the City of Washington. 
 
 It has a membership, January i, 
 1912, of 509. On the roll of mem- 
 bers are to be found the names of 
 many of the leading business and pro- 
 fessional men and public officials, not 
 only of our city, but of the entire 
 country. 
 
 It takes the initiative as well as co- 
 operates in the securing of desirable 
 federal legislation.

AMERICA 
 
 My country, 'tis of thee, 
 Sweet land of liberty, 
 
 Of thee I sing; 
 Land where my fathers died! 
 Land of the pilgrim's pride! 
 From every mountain side 
 
 Let freedom ring. 
 My native country, thee, 
 Land of the noble free, 
 
 Thy name I love! 
 I love thy rocks and rills, 
 Thy woods and templed hills! 
 My heart with rapture thrills. 
 
 Like that above. 
 
 Our fathers' God, to thee, 
 Author of liberty. 
 
 To thee we sing; 
 Long may our land be bright 
 With freedom's holy light; 
 Protect us by thy might, 
 
 Great God, our King! 
 
 AMERICA—BROTHERHOOD 
 
 O beautiful for spacious skies. 
 
 For amber waves of grain, 
 For purple mountain majesties 
 
 Above the fruited plain! 
 America! America! 
 
 God shed His grace on thee 
 And crown thy good with brotherhood 
 
 From sea to shining sea ! 
 
 O beautiful for pilgrim feet 
 
 Whose stern, impassioned stress 
 A thoroughfare for freedom beat 
 
 Across the wilderness! 
 America! America! 
 
 God mend thine every flaw. 
 Confirm thy soul in self-control. 
 
 Thy liberty in law! 
 O beautiful for heroes proved 
 
 In liberating strife, 
 Who more than self their country loved, 
 
 And mercy more than life! 
 America! America! 
 
 May God thy gold refine. 
 Till all success be nobleness. 
 
 And every gain divine! 
 O beautiful for patriot dream 
 
 That sees beyond the years 
 Thine alabaster cities gleam 
 
 Undimmed by human tears! 
 America! America! 
 
 God shed His grace on thee 
 And crown thy good with brotherhood 
 
 From sea to shining sea!

THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER 
 
 O say can you see, by the dawn's early light. 
 
 What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? 
 
 Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous night 
 O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? 
 
 And the rockets' red glare, bombs bursting in air. 
 
 Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. 
 O say does the Star-Spangled Banner still wave 
 
 O'er the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave? 
 
 On the shore dimly seen thro' the mist of the deep, 
 
 Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes. 
 What is that which the breeze o'er the towering steep. 
 
 As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? 
 Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, 
 
 In full glory reflected, now shines in the stream — 
 'Tis the Star-Spangled Banner! O long may it wave 
 
 O'er the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave! 
 
 O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand 
 
 Between their lov'd hom.es and war's desolation; 
 Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land 
 
 Praise the Pow'r that has made and preserved us a nation. 
 Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just. 
 
 And this be our motto: "In God is our trust!" 
 And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave 
 
 O'er the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave! 
 
 A THOUSAND YEARS 
 
 Life up your eyes, desponding freemen! 
 . Fling to the winds your needless fears! 
 He who unfurled your beauteous banner 
 Says it shall wave a thousand years. 
 
 CHORUS. 
 
 A thousand years, my own Columbia! 
 
 'Tis the glad day so long foretold; 
 'Tis the glad morn whose early twilight 
 
 Washington saw in times of old. 
 
 What if the clouds one little moment 
 Hide the blue sky wheie morn appears, 
 
 When the bright sun that tints them crimson. 
 Rises to shine a thousand years? — Cho. 
 
 Tell the great world these blessed tidings! 
 
 Yes, and be sure the bondsman hears; 
 Tell the oppressed of every nation 
 
 Jubilee lasts a thousands years. — Cho.

COLUMBIA, THE GEM OF THE OCEAN 
 
 Oh, Columbia, the gem of the ocean. 
 
 The home of the brave and the free, 
 The shrine of each patriot's devotion, 
 
 A world offers homage to three ; 
 Thy mandates make heroes assemble, 
 
 When Liberty's form stands in view. 
 Thy banner makes Tyranny tremble. 
 
 When borne by the Red, White, and Blue. 
 
 Chorus,—' 
 
 When borne by the Red, White, and Blue.

ABOUT THIS HANDBOOK 
 
 The 19 1 2 S. A. R. Handbook-Directory orig- 
 inated in a resolution of the Recruiting Com- 
 mittee requesting that the Society provide a 
 pamphlet of information for use of Compatriots 
 who would aid in a dignified but definite way, 
 the work of Recruiting Members for the Dis- 
 trict of Columbia Society. 
 
 A Committee on Handbook was appointed 
 and during the summer material for the pro- 
 posed publication prepared. The counsel of 
 the National Society Officials was asked and 
 in conference with resident Washington mem- 
 bers in October the manuscript was gone 
 over carefully. So favorably were Judge 
 Stockbridge, Commander Moore and other 
 National leaders impressed with the material, 
 that permission was asked of the District So- 
 ciety Committee to use the manuscript in a 
 pamphlet for the National Society's service in 
 extension of membership. 
 
 This request was readily granted and with 
 slight emendations Secretary Clark issued 
 10,000 copies under authority of the National 
 Organization in November, igii. Each mem- 
 ber of the D. C. Society received a copy by 
 mail. California State Society ordered a 
 thousand copies by telegraph. 
 
 Final authority to issue the present Hand- 
 book-Directory for the D. C. Society was 
 given the Committee at the December meetings 
 of the Board of Managers and the Society. 
 
 Extraordinary care has been exercised to 
 insure the correctness of the Directory. 
 Changes in names, titles or addresses should 
 be forwarded to the Secretary of the Society 
 or to the Chairman of the Handbook Com- 
 mittee. 
 
 It is earnestly hoped that this book may be 
 made useful in the work of recruiting. 
 
 THE COMMITTEE.
