New Proven Patriot: James Bohannon
Hello Cousins!
James Bohannon (b. about 1742 Orange County, Virginia; d. about 1807 ?Stokes County, North Carolina) has been accepted by the Sons of the American Revolution as a proven Patriot in the cause of American Independence.This is big news because no application using James Bohannon as a qualifying ancestor has ever been approved by either the SAR or DAR.
This new qualifying ancestor will open the door for many Bohannons who wanted to join a society under a Bohannon ancestor (instead of a maternal line), but have been unable to prove service. If you are descended from any of the children of James Bohannon and Ann Booten, you are now qualified to join the SAR or DAR under a Bohannon qualifying ancestor!
Children of James and Ann are:
Philemon Bohannon
Milly Bohannon
James Bohannon, Jr.
John Bohannon
Elliott Bohannon
Lucy Bohannon
Judah Bohannon
Anna Bohannon
Peggy Bohannon
Thomas Bohannon
Charles Bohannon
William Bohannon
So, if you have been waiting to join until you can get a Bohannon on your membership certificate, now is the time.
