# Associated Daughters of Early American Witches

The Associated Daughters of Early American Witches is a lineage-based membership organization for women who are directly descended from a person accused of witchcraft in the witch trials of Colonial America.

## Founding

The society was established in 1985 in Washington, D.C. and formally incorporated in 1986. The first organizational meeting of the society was held in April 1987 at the Mayflower Hotel with 35 charter members. The organization received its 501(c)(3) organization status in 1990. The society is listed in the Hereditary Society Community of the United States of America.

## Structure

Membership in the society is by invitation only. To become a member, a woman must be at least sixteen years of age and able to prove lineal bloodline descent from an ancestor who was accused, tried, and/or executed for the practice of witchcraft prior to December 31, 1699, in Colonial America.
The society is led by 8 officers, including a President General, First Vice President General, Second Vice President General, Recording Secretary General, Corresponding Secretary General, Treasurer General, Registrar General, and Historian General.
The society maintains a Roll of Ancestors which currently includes the full names of over 300 ancestors.
