I am trying to get some information about Patience Lovell Wright who was a
spy during the American Revolution. She had children that moved to IN I was
told. i have not been able to get any information form the DAR. Would anyone
have any more details?
Thanks...Paul Wright >>
Hi Paul:
I have the 3 volume set of DAR patriot indexes but do not find Patience
listed. That means no one has used her lineage to become a member of DAR..
not that she wasn't a spy.. just that someone needs to document her lineage
and become a member, after which she will be listed in the index.
For the DAR to have info, someone needs to send it to them.. They MORE than
welcome any books, Bible records, information that anyone can share. Also I
have the contacts in each state as to who to contact if anyone wants to make
such a donation. They also work largely by volunteers to be cost effective.
If your request gets a volunteer who has done limited research, then you may
not get the answer you need. They have a limit on how much they can do in
any case. But you could try a local chapter and see if they can help. There
are lineage specialist in each DAR chapter. Your local library should have
the name of a local chapter, or I can help you find one.
Could your Patience have gone by her maiden name at the time of the
Revolution? Or perhaps another surname? I can't find her listed under
"Wright."
Happy to help anyone else if you have a name you want to check in the DAR
Patriot indexes.. The info given is: Name, birth date/place; death
date/place; who they married; service they rendered during the Rev War and
position and state they served from. .. whether it be a soldier or someone at
home that furnished meat, arms, housing, etc. Women are sometimes listed,
since they cooked & carried the food, mended clothes, cared for the sick,
etc....
