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. Sunday appear in the Patriot Index, including:


    Ebenezer Cory (number 48)
    Elnathan Cory (number 24)
    Robert Martin (number 26)

While Mr. Sunday 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.
