Individual Details

Ann is said to have hidden notes in her petticoats from her mother concerning the British troops and taken them across enemy lines. Her mother was recognized as a DAR Patriot. However, actual proof of these episodes has long since been lost and no one can join DAR on Elizabeth Pledge Poindexter without representing new proof.
