The SAR Patriot Research System (PRS) is a database combination of the previous SAR Patriot Record Index, the SAR Revolutionary War Graves Registry, and information from the SAR Patriot Index CD (2002), plus additional information and updates from various state grave registry databases and patriot biographical sketches submitted to tell the story of our patriot ancestors. Visitors will be directed to an external database site in order to access the SAR Patriot Research System. This database will continue to expand as new patriots and graves are found and biographical sketches are submitted as well as when new members are approved for SAR membership. This database is available for the purpose of general research and possibly assisting with the SAR membership process. The sources contained within this database, including patriot biographical sketches, are not acceptable as proof of service for an SAR application. Applicants and researchers must still find the original reference to the service when submitting an SAR application. Please be aware that the Patriot Research System is not a comprehensive list of all the individuals who served in the American Revolutionary War. https://sar.org/genealogy/patriot-records-search The American Revolution was a colonial revolt that took place between 1765 and 1783. The American Patriots in the Thirteen Colonies won independence from Great Britain, becoming the United States of America. They defeated the British in the American Revolutionary War in alliance with France and others. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Revolution
The National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR or NSSAR) is an Americancongressionally chartered organization, founded in 1889 and headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky. A non-profit corporation, it has described its purpose as maintaining and extending "the institutions of American freedom, an appreciation for true patriotism, a respect for our national symbols, the value of American citizenship, [and] the unifying force of 'e pluribus unum' that has created, from the people of many nations, one nation and one people."[1] The members of the society are male descendants of people who served in the American Revolutionary War or who contributed to establishing the independence of the United States. It is dedicated to perpetuating American ideals and traditions, and to protecting the Constitution of the United States; the official recognition of Constitution Day, Flag Day, and Bill of Rights Day were established through its efforts. It has members in the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Mexico, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.[2] The organization should not be confused with the Sons of the Revolution, a separate descendants heritage organization founded on February 22, 1876 by businessman John Austin Stevens and members of The Society of the Cincinnati. SAR Founder William Osborn McDowell disagreed with the Sons of the Revolution requirement at that time that all state societies were to be subordinate to the New York society. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sons_of_the_American_Revolution
