Betty Jo, Do you have any kind of proof that Jonathan Adams served in Rev
war? I am trying to help two particularly ladies in Clio to complete their
DAR papers. DAR would not accept JAAW Thomas' History. This is hear-say,
so DAR says. If you have any kind of documentaion I would be happy to pay
expenses. DAR will accept copies of proof. They do not want originals, so
you could e-mail me if you have anything.
Thanks.
Grace M. Gibson
Clio, S. C.
