Sons of the American Revolution. They’re just not as famous. But then, no genealogical society is as famous as the DAR, period. Closest is probably Sons of Confederate Veterans.

There is also Children of the American Revolution.

Be amazing if a 12yo would be actual infantry. Generally at best they would be musicians (not bugles - they were not really in use), but usually not at all. Such youth was frowned upon in any service. I’m betting more likely militia?

Sorry I can’t tell you about any computer troubles.

“Light Dragoons”, which I think is calvary, not infantry, which I first said. The following info is from the D.A.R. web site, Daniel Agee is my direct paternal ancestor, my last name is Agee also. Wish I had more info on him. Note the date of birth:

AGEE, DANIEL
Ancestor #: A000847
Service:
VIRGINIA Rank: PRIVATE
Birth:
12-29-1764 BUCKINGHAM CO VIRGINIA
Death:
1854 TENNESSEE
Service Source:
NARA, M881, COMP MIL SERV RECS, ROLL #46
Service Description:
1) COL MOYLAND 4TH REGT LIGHT DRAGOONS CL

James Agee also listed on the same page, was his father but Daniel stands out because of his age, Jacob, also listed, was Daniel’s older brother.
