I guess that if you can not join the Ohio Valley SAR Chapter in
Evansville with Chris & I, then the Daniel Guthrie Chapter is the
next best choice. We have lots of very good friends in the Guthrie Chapter.
BTW, Benoni Stinson, Elijah's brother married Ruth A. Martin, 1st.
cousin to my direct ancestor, Joseph Martin of Christian/Todd
Counties of Kentucky. I was basically raised in General Baptist
Churches which Benoni is given credit for organizing along with
Oakland City University. I have heard about him since I was just a kid.

Thanks Chris for your excellent report on the Rev War plaques in
Vanderburgh
Co. I guess I kept hoping that there was some sort of Historical Marker at
the site of the old cemetery, but the brass plaque in the Post Office is
nice to represent all nine Rev War vets buried in Vand. Co. I'm going into
the Daniel Guthrie chapter of the SAR at Bedford, based on my aunt Nella
(Short) McGregor's initiation in 1949. Thank you again.
