Daughters of the American Revolution

     I finally did it. I submitted my application to the Daughters of the American Revolution. I have been meaning to do this for years. Mainly I wanted to make it easier for my granddaughters to apply in the future if they should become interested. My patriot is Abraham DeHart on my father's side. I am fairly certain I can follow the line back on my mother's side as well. I would be willing to give it a try if a maternal cousin is interested. 

     The lineage is as follows:

Abrabam DeHart-patriot who fought for our independence in the Revolutionary War.

 Samuel DeHart- son of Abraham of West Virginia

George DeHart-grandson of Abraham. I have visited the grave of George in DalHart, Texas.           He and his brothers fought in the Civil War on the side of the Confederacy

Emma Susan DeHart Borden -great granddaughter of Abraham and my great grandmother whom I knew well as a child.

Nina Frances Borden Wright-great great granddaughter of Abraham and my paternal grandmother.

LaVerne William Wright- 3rd great grandson of Abraham and my father.

Margaret Ann Wright Tolsdorf- 4th great granddaughter of Abraham DeHart.

Away

     Many years ago (many=40) when I was in my mid-30's, life was busy, busy, busy. I was a full time elementary teacher with two elementary age children. My husband worked extended hours which left me dealing with daily life on my own at times.

     Now here it is so much later in life. So many changes. So much living. And now it seems so long ago.

     I found a cartoon in the paper one day that seemed to summarize my young mother and wife existance. This was so me in those days.

Suddenly, life rushes by and all one has are those memories.  And how grateful I am for them all.
