DAR Heritage explored at Adair Genealogy Meeting The Adair County Genealogical Society's July meeting took a patriotic turn as attendees delved into the history of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) and celebrated Independence Day. The informative event, held at the Adair County Genealogy and History Center adjacent to the Adair County Public Library, brought together a diverse group of individuals who share family ties with Revolutionary War soldiers and patriots. Conducted by members of the Jane Lampton Chapter of the DAR, the evening proved to be an engaging exploration of ancestral ties to the nation's early struggles. Ernie Bennett, whose ancestor John Scott hailed from Cumberland County, was in attendance, and she shared about him. The meeting showcased the passion of attendees like Annita Dial and her girls, who proudly participate in the work of the DAR. Their dedication to preserving the memory of ancestors who fought for freedom was evident as they shared stories and insights. The program featured young speakers as well, as Kantlee Harvey, age 14, took the floor in a pink ensemble to discuss patriots Jonathan and Joseph Chipman. Laramie Baldwin, age 12, donning light blue attire, highlighted the legacy of patriot Caleb Nash. The youngest presenter, 8-year-old Lariat Baker, stood out in a flag-themed dress while sharing information about patriot George Gaddy. Annita also took the stage, discussing the significant roles played by patriots James Kerr and William French. This exploration of various family ties and their contributions underscored the importance of remembering and honoring those who paved the way for the nation's freedom. As the meeting concluded, it was clear that the spirit of patriotism and historical preservation continues to thrive in the hearts of Adair County's genealogy enthusiasts. The event served as a reminder of the enduring legacy left by those who fought for the nation's independence, and the importance of passing down their stories to future generations. The Adair County Genealogy and History Center, located at 307 Greensburg Street in Columbia, provided the perfect backdrop for this gathering. Anyone interested in uncovering their own ancestral roots or learning more about the DAR's meaningful work can contact the center via phone at 270-380-1024 or email at adairgenealogy@gmail.com .
