Yes, my email address is still good. Yes, Edith M. Sprouse's book is credible; her sources are provided therein. All men of a certain age (which would have included Daniel at that time) were required to serve in the local militia, and the record cited just happens to involve the year 1776. I am a DAR member but do not know if this item would satisfy DAR requirements as actual *service* during the RW or not as it involves a Court Martial for non-attendance. You could direct that question to the Registrar of the DAR chapter with whom you are working and she could find out the answer for you. To find the Sprouse book, try Google, OCLC, or your local library may be able to help you.

>I sent an email to you on your earthlink address, don't know if it is still a good address. Do you know if Edith Moore Sprouse's book is a credible resource? do you know if there are any other sources listing Daniel involved in the RW? Maybe a court record, military court record for the fines? Even if he was not documented actual service, because he was fined in the military court martial and the date is listed for not appearing at muster, this might be an acceptable source for DAR. His younger brother Abednego has been proven in DAR. Where would I find Edith's book? Thanks, Michele
