Nana has been officially confirmed as a Daughter of the Revolution! We've long known/suspected that she had Revolutionary War soldiers in her family line since her people in several lines have been here since the 1700s. There were just always glitches in solidly proving the connections. But at last they were able to piece together enough info to prove 3 soldiers as of now from just Nana's mother's line, though the DAR thinks there are definitely more and we would agree. And of course all this means that I am also a DAR! There was a Roberts who was a soldier, and then there were a father-in-law and son-in-law who both fought from GA: John Knight III b.1748 and William Miles Hunter b.1762. Nana's mother was a Knight.
We haven't really gotten far with name ideas for Baby #4, so maybe as we piece together more of this family history, we'll get a good name or two out of it...we'll see.
