The Governor William Paca Chapter NSDAR is proud to celebrate Americanism by engaging in a number of activities in our community and our state. We would love to talk with you about becoming a member of the National Society. The second edition of Forgotten Patriots – African American and American Indian Patriots of the Revolutionary War: A Guide to Service, Sources, and Studies, published in May 2008 by the DAR identifies over 6,600 names of African Americans and American Indians who contributed to American Independence.
