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 Gary Hart appear in the Patriot Index, including:


    Michael Rader (number 74)
    Henry Rayburn (number 72)
    Thomas Riggs (number 68)

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