Biographical / Historical

The Society of Colonial Wars was created to perpetuate the memory of the events, and the men who, "in military, naval, and civil positions of high trust and responsibility, by their acts or counsel, assisted in the establishment, defense, and preservation of the American Colonies, and who were in truth founders of this Nation." (excerpted from the Constitution of the General Society of Colonial Wars) Inclusion in the Society required a detailed genealogy of descent from a Colonial ancestor as well as a Society member sponsor.
