The Tennessee Society DAR is published a collection of stories and lineages of women who lived in the Tennessee territory prior to the first every-name census in 1850. About 275 women, many of them wives or daughters of Revolutionary Patriots, are featured in this two-volume, indexed publication of approximately 1500 pages. A narrative sketch and a lineage chart of known birth, marriage, death and burial dates and places of each woman, her parents and siblings, her husband(s) and his parents and siblings, and their children are included with source citations footnoted throughout the book. These women, whose families moved from earlier American settlements into the wilderness that became Tennessee in 1796, and made their homes there before official record-keeping became routine, are largely invisible characters of Tennessee history. Many of these women and their families moved on in the westward migration to Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and beyond. These stories and genealogies have been provided by Tennessee Daughters from their personal research over many years, and dedicated members of the Tennessee Society have contributed countless hours of research, writing and editing to create this historical record. - from Amzon
