If you are descended from Eliza
Marie, William James, John Finley, Francis Joseph or Albert Green; then you can
use this DAR reference. If you aren't sure, please contact me and I will
help you out.
Here's another DAR line for
Debards thanks to Duncan Black:
If you are descended from William Edward DeBardelaben, you can apply for DAR
membership. William Edward's wife was Caroline Francis Buyck through
her grandfather Augustine Buyck and her great grandfather, the Ghent/Amsterdam
banker Peter Buyck, both patriots due to their financing of the frigate South
Carolina. Augustine was actually on board the ship during a number of
engagements although both were Low Country nationals (as was most of the crew),
and both emigrated to the new nation. See Neptune's Militia by James A.
Lewis of Western Carolina University, published in 1999 by Kent State University
