NOTES














FURTHER NOTES




The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) publishes a Patriot Index, a list of persons whose honorable service in the cause of independence during the American Revolution renders their female descendants eligible for membership in the NSDAR. Several ancestors of Mr. Owens appear in the Patriot Index, including:


    Johann Adam Wuerttemberger (number 80)
    Johann Adam Wuerttemberger (number 160)
    Peter Dozier (number 86)

While Mr. Owens was not eligible for membership in the NSDAR (by not being female), he was eligible for membership in the equivalent organization for men, the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution.
