Nanna Hammie DAR Application
Barbara Martin submitted the attached – Frances Dunham’s (Nanna Hammie) original Daughters of the American Revolution application.
We have a number of ancestors who fought in the Revolutionary War – at some point I’ll try to compile a list. But Grammie Hammie chose Sylvanus Dunham, likely her most direct ancestor who fought.
Grammy-Hammies-DAR-ApplicationQuoting from her application:
Sylvanus Dunham was a Private in Capt. Nathaniel Shaw’s company, Col. James Harren’s regement which marched on the alarm of April 19, 1775 to Marshfield.
Page 49, Vol 5 Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolution.
Service 2 days.
