About Our Chapter

Henry County Chapter, NSDAR, is very proud of our over 112 years of community service to Windsor, Henry County, Missouri, and our Great Country.

We believe in service:
♥ To our military
♥ To our veterans
♥ To our community
♥ To our schools
We cherish:
♥ The memory of our American Revolutionary War Patriots
♥ Our chapter members, who volunteer over 7,000 service hours each year serving our community

Each month the chapter holds a Veterans Cafe at the local senior center, serving breakfast to our community veterans and providing them an opportunity for socializing.
The chapter awards scholarships to Windosr High School Seniors each year.

One of the most notable figures of the American Revolutionary War was Patrick Henry (1736-1799), whose legendary words, “Give me liberty or give me death,” motivated the House of Burgesses to support the American Revolutionary War. Patrick Henry served in the Virginia House of Burgesses, the Continental Congress, and was a three-time governor of Virginia. Henry County, Missouri, was named in his honor, and when our Missouri DAR chapter was organized in Windsor, Missouri on June 13, 1913, it seemed fitting that it be named after this illustrious American Patriot.

DAR members are descended from American Revolutionary War Patriots. These men and women fought in the American Revolutionary War or aided in the cause of American independence. The Patriot ancestors of the Daughters of the Henry County Chapter, NSDAR, are listed in the searchable table below. Patriot names and numbers can be used to access a Patriot's profile on the NSDAR Genealogical Research System (GRS), an online repository of historical documents and records, using the NSDAR Patriot Search Tool.

Researching your family lineage is a major step in becoming a member of the DAR. Documentation proving your direct lineage to a Patriot ancestor who fought in the American Revolutionary War or who aided in achieving American independence is required for membership.

All known DAR Patriot ancestors are cataloged in the NSDAR Genealogical Research System (GRS), an online collection of databases that preserve historical documents and records. The DAR provides this ever-growing wealth of research information as a resource tool for lineage and ancestry exploration.
