Hello to all my distant cousins,

My lineage is grandmother Susan Pringle Dick, b Johnstown, PA, daughter of
John P. Pringle, son of Philip Pringle, son of William Pringle, who is supposed
to have served in the Revolutionary War in a Maaryland Regiment.

Recently I was not approved for membership in the DAR because, quote, "We
regret....The problem is that we have been unable to find any proof that this man
[William Pringle] resided in Maryland. We need to prove that he resided in
the locale where he performed the service. This will show that we have the right
man matched with the right service. Also we have been unable to locate any
proof of service for this man in the Pennsylvania records. Since this man's
children's are all supposed to have been born in PA, it seems unlikely that he
would be enlisting in a Maryland Regiment. Until this man's correct residence and
service can be proved, we cannot accept any more applications through him."

Because others were admitted to the DAR under William Pringle (Prindle)
through his son Philip and Philip's other children, I had not done any research on
William. I have seen the memorial in Ebensbserg listing him under
Revolutionary War and can also get it on line. Is there any documentation for these
people?

Do you have any suggestions for verification of William Pringle's service. I
spent about a year tracking John P. Pringle who, as some of you will remember,
I found buried in Kentucky. Any help and suggestions will be greatly
appreciated.
