Dear Sir:- I wish to join the D.A.R. and need the record of my great grand father, Josiah Willier who served in Gen. Washington's army and lost a leg at the battle of York Town, I think he enlisted from Mass. He lived in New York State after the war and drew a pension as long as he lived.
My maternal grand father Cyrus Cornish served in the same army and afterwards lived in State of New York but I don't know where he enlisted. can you give me any data that will help me establish my right to join the D.A.R.?
Truly Yours.
Mrs. Margaret Eaton.
