I just finished working on the first draft of the documentation for my sister in law's application for the DAR and in the process was edified and my mind directed toward the social events of my family that have shaped its  character through the centuries. As a tribute, here are the thirty Patriots (15 Smith/15 Foster) in our Smith and Foster lines:

John Anthony

Ignatius Brashears

Charles Broughton

Michael Carpenter

John Cecil

Job Curtis

Henry Hart

John Marshall

William Mattingly

Samuel McCune

Jacob Mooney

Lewis Richards

Stephen Roby

Randolph Slack

Thomas Stafford

Enoch Stone

John Stone

Butler Stonestreet

John Summers

Bennett Thompson

Stith Thompson

Richard Tunstall

William Tunstall

Wynant Van Der Poel

James Wait

Thomas Weakley

William Whitledge

Mandley Winstead

Samuel Winstead
William Wyatt

Interestingly, our direct Smith and Foster ancestors were born too early or late for actively engaging in the conflict.
