Sons of the American Revolution ( SAR)is one of the most prestigious organizations in the world.
It is the brother organization of the DAR ( Daughters of the American Revolution).
To become a member, one must provide impeccable credentials that can be verified independently proving that one is a direct descendant of a person who fought in the Revolutionary War. There are chapters in the US, in most states, and in countries that had citizens who fought in our our revoution. The second largest, and very active chapter is in France.
Luckily the ancestor is Col. Elijah Issacs, whose line seems to be somewhat well known up until post-Texas War of Independence. He was a Colonel in the NC Militia and was captured in the Battle of Camden, released, and then promoted to Brigadier General.
Can anyone tell me about SRT and what there is for out-of-state members (I’m currently stationed in NC)?
