The Search for John Adams/Genealogy It was a journey getting the documentation for DAR Membership. It requires proof of Birth, Death and Marriage of every generation leading to the Patriot. Some were easier to get than others. My Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother all died in Las Vegas. It was a Mecca for them. It is not my Mecca but they were the easiest to acquire. The brick wall was my 2nd Great Grandfather. John Adams Willett He died in his early 30's and records of him seemed to have disappeared. He was my link to my 5th Great Grandfather George Willett who is the qualifying patriot Membership. I wrote to the Catholic Parish where he was a member. I send for his wife's DC in Florida. Her parents were listed on the D.C. John Manning from Scotland and Cornelia Drury. When I found the Drury name, I decided to go another direction. This lead to a Sixth Grandfather Phillip Drury the patriot who qualified me for DAR membership. The Interesting thing is that when researching the ancestors, they become alive again. I promised my 2nd Great Grandfather that I would find him and I did. The Church Records John Adams Willet came after I submitted the application for Phillip Drury DAR = Daughters of the American Revolution  Abracadabra  |
