Fall 1990 Texas
THE WILLIAM HENRY MINKERT FAMILY
William Henry MINKERT was born in St. Louis, Missouri on 1
March 1836. It is understood that his parents owned a store in St.
Louis. He lost both of his parents at an early age. At the age
of 14, in 1850 he was in New York City. It is not known whether
he was with a guardian at that time.
As a young man William MINKERT traveled South. He came down
the Mississippi River, paying his expenses by stopping in cities
and working on building projects. He also painted curtains,
backdrops, and scenery for "opera houses as entertainment
buildings were called then. In the 1850's he settled in Brazos
County where he worked at Boonville, Millican, and Bryan City.
In January 1861 he joined a party of Independents at M i l l i c a n ,
Texas. This group went to General Ben McCOLLOUGH at Camp Jackson,
Missouri and offered their services as soldiers. William MINKERT
enlisted for Confederate service on 5 August 1861 at Paris Texas.
He was assigned to Company G, 32nd Texas Cavalry. The group frcm
Millican was attached to Captain H. S. BENNETT's company and acted
as scouts and bodyguards for General McCULLOUGH until his death.
Afterwards the company served under General VAN DORN.
The official war record on 10 September 1861 contains the
following information:
No. of miles to rendezvous - 600
Valuation of horse $ 150
Equipment 25
as shown by certificate of mustering officer.
Imagine 600 miles on horseback for a rendezvous! His war record
also shows his re- enlistment in 1862, service in 1863, and re-
enlistment on 4 April 1864 which shows "re- enlisted for the war ".
On 4 June 1862 he was appointed Commissary Sergeant, which position
included foraging for food and scouting when necessary. His
® company joined the Army of the West at Corinth, Mississippi and
was made a part of the 32nd Regiment, Texas Volunteers. They
served during the remainder of the War in General M. D. ECTOR's
■ Brigade.
At the end of the War, William MINKERT returned to his home
in Bryan, Texas. He is listed with the names of the citizens of
123
124
Brazos County who took the amnesty oath before the Chief Justice
of Brazos County and was qualified as a voter of Brazos County by
the board appointed by the Provisional Governor of the State of
Texas on 19 August 1865. This information was filed with the
County Clerk of Brazos County and was re-published in the Bryan
Eagle of 24 June 1962 for the celebration of the 100th anniversary
of the City of Bryan. W. H. MINKERT is also listed with those
Confederate veterans who were buried in the Bryan and Boonville
Cemeteries.
It is believed that W. H. MINKERT became acquainted with a
Yazoo, Mississippi girl during the war. Some of his letters to
Edna Coleman GARDNER still exist. One letter proposes marriage in
a gallant and respectful manner. William and Edna were married in
Mississippi on 6 June 1867 and came to Texas to live. Edna was the
daughter of Jesse and Mary Elizabeth PERRY GARDNER. In another
letter to Edna GARDNER, William said he would accept her sister as
his own little sister. He kept his promise. He accepted her
family as his family, including her sister, brothers, and her
mother, all of whom came to Texas to live. Edna Minkert's brothers
and sisters were Orlean GARDNER, Winfield Scott GARDNER, and Ashel
B. GARDNER.
William MINKERT worked as a building contractor, a sign
painter and as a buggy painter. Signs which he painted over the
doors of the Brazos County Courthouse offices were used until the
building was replaced by the present courthouse building in 1957.
His signature was painted under each office sign.
Edna GARDNER MINKERT established a private school. She
directed it from 1884 to 1894. Tuition was $2.00 per month. Piano
lessons were fifty cents a month.
W. H. MINKERT was an early Mason in Bryan. Edna GARDNER
MINKERT was a charter member of the Eastern Star Lodge in Bryan,
and ,joined the Bryan Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy
in its second year. W. H. and Edna were members of the First
Baptist Church Bryan.
Five of the seven children of William H. and Edna GARDNER
MINKERT lived to adulthood. They were William Scott, grocery store
owner; Charles Ashel, a carpenter; Jesse Gardner, surveyor and
lawyer; Mary Edna, teacher; and Oscar E., printer.
Jesse Gardner MINKERT, who practiced law for 60 years, was the
only child of William and Edna to remain in Brazos County. He died
in 1956.
William Henry MINKERT died 3 February 1901 at the age of 64
years, 11 months, and 2 days. Edna Coleman GARDNER MINKERT died
19 January 1914.
125
William and Edna are buried in the Bryan City Cemetery in the
plot where W. H. had buried his mother -in -law in August 1883. Four
of his children and other of their descendants are also bured here.
Patti MINKERT CADDESS, a member of the Brazos Genealogical
Association and granddaughter of William Henry MINKERT and daughter
of Jesse Gardner MINKERT, shared her family information for
inclusion in this article.

Editorial
A part of a Genealogist life is
collecting material and proving
a relationship between people.
What happens to this material
when we have finished using it?
During the last mouth I know
personally two genealogist who
have died. Their papers, books
etc. gathered during thirty
five years are now laying in
boxes in closets or in a damp
crawl space waiting to deterio-
rate and finally to be disposed
of in the trash.
Much time, effort, and money
has gone into copyin SASE,
travel, etc.. Some of it is
original research compiled,
carefully copied and indexed
into. ledgers. Some is hired
work from other countries.
Several hundreds of dollars
have been spent searching
through volumes of material and
travel to various libraries,
court houses and archives.
What can we do with this mate-
rial. If we are to preserve
the work of many years a little
thought, time and effort on our
part will need to be done.
Libraries will not and should
not be burden with unlabeled
boxes of stuff!
There are several alternatives.
1. File it in either the waste
basket or a proper file which
has been inventoried. 2. Make
provision for it in your will.
Arrange ahead of tine for a
genealogical library to take
it. 3. Find a genealogist
willing to evaluate it. 4.
Publish it either commercially
or privately. This would in-
clude microfilming.

Bryan's volunteers: The war spirit, which has been
growing visibly the past few days, culminated last night
in an enthusiastic meeting held at the courthouse for
the purpose of organizing a volunteer company-to be
tendered to the governor to fora a part of the 125,000
volunteers called for by the President. There were
probably 350 people in attendance, flags were displayed
and the drum and fife corps was out in full force.
The meeting was called to order by Capt. J. J. ADAMS and
Mayor ADAMS was unanimously elected chairman; L. S.
ETTLE, secretary. The mayor stated the purpose of the
meeting as indicated above. In response to repeated
calls patriotic speeches were made by W. Gillie
MITCHELL, F. W. McCONNICO, T. P. BOYETT and W. T. YOUNG,
all of whom declared the time for action has arrived,
Mr. McCONNICO briefly epitomizing the whole thing in the
statement that he was "ready to sign up" and anxious to
see the company organized. Mr. MITCHELL was eloquent
and dwelt upon Spanish barbarity; upon the late war; our
reunited country and the great cause now at hand. Capt.
ADAMS and T. P. BOYETT assured the boys if it became
necessary the old soldiers would take a hand in the
game. In this connection it may be stated that a
communication was read from the headquarters of the
national volunteer reserve which is being organized all
over the country and includes among its members many old
veterans from north and south.
This is a very creditable start towards the organization
of a company and a full compliment of men will doubtless
be obtained without difficulty. F. W. McCONNICO, L. S.
ETTLE and J. W. BATTS were appointed a committee to
invite enlistment and those desiring to enroll their
names will find the list at Mr. McCONNICO's office.

A national volunteer reserve list was prepared and
signed by the following: C. A. ADAMS, C. S. GAINER, J.
J. ADAMS, John McCORQUODALE, T. P. BOYETT, A. D.

Bryan, Tex., April 25 -- The war excitement is unabated
here. The bulletin board is the center of attraction
and the people are talking about little else but the
conflict. One young man who joined the volunteer
company Saturday night is the proprietor of a small
confectionary store. Yesterday he closed the door and
put up the following placard: "For Sale. I am going to
the war !"

Bryan Volunteers: A meeting of the Bryan volunteers was
held last night, Capt. J. J. ADAMS acting as chairman.
Several patriotic speeches were made and a call issued
for another meeting to be held at the courthouse
Saturday, April 30, at 3 p.m., to give the young men
from the country an opportunity to enlist the company.
A committee was appointed to invite Judge FORD and other
speakers to address the meeting. A committee was
appointed on arrangements for music and other details of
the meeting. Mr. F. W. McCONNICO was authorized to
correspond with Adjutant General MABRY regarding the
organization of the company and the getting of it to the
front. Bev. TUCKER, Claud STANLEY, A. L. DUNNICA and L.
O. ZENNATTI added their names to the company. Bryan

in good spirits. We think we will get to fight the
Spaniards in a few days. I will send you the scalp of
the first one I kill.
I guess all the ladies miss us ( " nit ").

Camp Coppinger, Mobile, Ala.., May 24, `98
To the Eagle: We have just arrived at camps and worn
130
out from our trip and half starved to death besides. We
boarded the cars at Camp Mabry last Friday, May 20th at
6 o'clock a.m., and started on our journal about 7
o'clock.
Every town, no matter how small, that we passed through
in Texas gave us a grand reception. The fair sex seemed
to be more enthusiastic than the men.
At Rockdale we were received with a brass band and the
shooting of anvils. At Palestine we stopped for dinner,
which consisted of black coffee, two hard tacks and
canned beef. At Longview we were transferred from the
I. & G. N. R. R. to the T. P. and while there we had a
jolly time with the girls. Longview has lots of pretty
girls, but none that will compare with Bryan's and I
haven't seen a signle one in any town that could hold a
candle to them. This is no taffy, but straight goods.
At Marshall we had supper, which was a cup of coffee,
hard tack and a box of sardines to every two men. The
depot and platform was crammed with people who cheered
us lustily as we pulled out. We arrived at Shreveport
after dark but there was a crowd of boys and girls there
to give us a send off.
When we reached New Orleans, we stopped over night and
had same old chuck, hardtacks and sardines.
When we arrived here Monday, May 23rd, they fed us on
potatoes, bacon and hard tacks mixed together. They
feed us in squads of five men to each squad, in a pan
about 6 inches deep and about 16 inches in diameter,
which are called mess pans, and the man that grabs most
and eats fastest gets plenty. You bet I sure get my
share.
We sleep in tents of five men to a tent. Each man has a
pair of blankets. He sleeps on one and covers with the
other one, his coat for pillow, and that is the life
of a soldier.
Yours to the front, Claude STANLEY. Bryan Daily
Emile May 27, 1898, p. 4.

The Eagle is in receipt of a letter from Will DERDEN,
who is a member of Company E, First Texas Regiment, U.S.
V., at Mobile, Ala. He speaks of the ovation the
regiment received on the way through Texas and
Louisiana, and says: "The first two or three days we
arrived here the eating was a little tough, but now U.S.
feed is all right." The gallant Texas boys at Mobile
are followed by the best wishes of thousands of admiring
friends and nothing pleases the home folks better than
to hear from them. The other Bryan boys are in the
second Texas also at Mobile. Bryan Daily Eagle June
10, 1898, p. 4.
Claude STANLEY, one of the Bryan boys who is a member of
Company C, Second Regiment, U.S.V., stationed at Mobile,
Ala., passed through this city en route to Ft. Worth,
where he goes to act as secretary for the recruiting
officer at that place. Some five or six hundred men are
wanted to fill up the two Texas regiments at Mobile, and
recruiting offices have been opened at various places in
the state. Bryan Daily Eagle June 11, 1898, p. 4.
Friends in Bryan will be pleased to learn that Will
DERDEN, who is a member of Company E, 1st Texas U.S.V.
infantry, has been promoted to the position of company
clerk or private secretary in the captain's tent. Will
writes as follows:
Dear Eagle: You will notice by the heading of my letter
we are still in Mobile. We were to go to Mt. Vernon,
Ala., but owing to the scarcity of water they decided to
let us remain a while, although we are expecting to move
at any time. The general impression among the boys is
that we will go to Porto Rico.
The Texas boys are getting in a fine shape. We drill
two hours in the morning and one in the evening.
Our recruits have not arrived yet; we are expecting them
today or tomorrow.
No news of any important in camp. Will let you know
when we leave the swamps of Alabama. Very respt.
Will DERDEN. Bryan Daily Eagle June 21, 1898, p.

Claude STANLEY, orderly sergeant of Company C, Second
Texas Regiment, now at Mobile, is now here on a few days
leave of absence, visiting home folks. He has been
acting as secretary for the recruiting officer at Ft.
Worth, and says only 27 men were enlisted there. Boman
(weekly) Eagle June 23, 1898, p. 6.
Minter Springs ... Mr. J. E. TOLEN, formerly of this
place, but now of Calvert has been here on a visit to
relatives and to enlist recruits for Co. L, 4th T. V. I.
No enlistments. Bryan (weekly) Eagle July 7, 1898, p.
3.
Miami Fla., June 27, 1898 -- We arrived here Friday
night about 12:30 o'clock and the boys are all o.k. and
anxious to go right on to Port Rico.
We struck camp about 9 o'clock on Miami Bay. The town
is small. It is only two years old and has about 500
inhabitants.
The people are very nice indeed. On our arrival we were
marched over to a long table where the ladies had
prepared sandwiches, coffee and cakes for us and I
assure you that the Texas boys made quite an impression
with people here.
The only objection the boys find here is the drill
grounds are one mile and a half from camp.
I have received a corporalship since I wrote you last.
Will write you again, as soon as I learn more of the
surroundings. Very respectfully,
Will Derden. Bryan (weekly) Eagle July 7, 1898,

Messrs. Luther TAYLOR and L. J. COX have received a
letter from Charles C. better known as "Bud" CONWAY, who
is a member of Company C, Second Texas, at Miami, Fla.
Bud says it is reported there that the Texas troops will
join the regulars at Tampa and then go to Cuba. Bud
seems to think, like old John Sherman, that "war is
hell," but he says "we are going to stick to it until we
get a fight out of them Spaniards." Bryan (weekly)
Eagle July 14, 1898, p. 6.
Camp Tom Ball, Houston, Texas, July 23, 1898
Editor Eagle: Please allow me space in your paper for a
few lines from a Brazos County boy. I have intended
133
writing to the Eagle before this, but the first week we
arrived here from Calvert, we were kept busy all the
time getting our quarters in shape to settle down to
camp life. We thought our officers were very hard on us
as we were working almost all the time while some of the
other companies would be lazily lounging around under
trees while not at drill, but we were amply repaid for
all our hard work when Lieutenant Colonel HARDY highly
complimented the neatness of our quarters.
I will not attempt at this time to give any description
of our camp life, but will do so in my next if you print
this one.
Almost all of our officers are very kind and considerate
of the boys and I believe they are the ones who will go
to the top in military matters. Our captain is S. W.
PARISH of Calvert, a very nice gentlemen, and one of the
best captains in the regiment. He is also the nominee
of the democratic party for representative in Robertson
County, and if Co. L had the power to cast the vote for
the county, his election would be unanimous.
Horace FARQUHAR of Wellborn, called at Co. L's quarters
this morning and the boys were awful glad to see him.
He was on his way home from Eagle Lake.
The Brazos County boys in Co. L. are F. A. LOWRY, - --
BUSHWAR, Bryan; Corporal Tolson, Wellborn; R. B. REASON,
College Station. They are all getting along well and
send their kindest regards to the home folks.
R. B. REASON, Co. L, 4th Texas Regiment, U.S.
Volunteer Infantry
P.S. - -When the Brazos County people come to Houston, we
want them to be sure and call at Co. L's camp. Bryan
Daily Eagle July 28, 1898, p. 2.
Camp Tom Ball, Houston, Texas, July 28, 1898 -- Editor
Eagle -- I will try and write you another letter, as you
was so kind as to print my last for which I thank you,
as I know the Eagle readers are pleased to hear from the
4th regiment occasionally, and in this I will, to the
best of my ability, give a brief account of camp life
here at Camp Tom Ball. In the morning at 6:45, the
bugle is sounded for reville, and then we have to get
up, dress and prepare for the next bugle call, which is
15 minutes later. After this is completed we are
marched to the mess shed where we partake of a soldier's
i
134
breakfast consisting of bacon, Irish potatoes, bread and
coffee.
At 7 ®30 we have battalion drill, commanded by Major
BUELL, who is from Abiline. Our battalion is the third
and is composed of companies I, K, L and M. Company L
has been selected as color bearer for our battalion and
it is needless to say we feel highly honored.
The biggest thing we have had yet is regimental parade,
the first of which occurred on last Saturday. The
regiment lined up in double ranks to make a line over
half a mile long. The dress parade is very trying on
the boys but we have stood it well so far, and when we
get our suits and guns we'll like it, I believe.
Col. EDMUNDS, commanding the 4th Texas is an elegant
gentleman, and fine military man and no one has any fear
but that he will bring that regiment to the front rank.
Houston is a very nice place and has treated the
soldiers very nice in the way of providing pure water
and other conveniences, something Austin did not do for
the other Texas regiments.
On Wednesday evening at a little past 7 o'clock, and
just after a regimental parade, a large U.S. flag was
raised in front of the regimental headquarters. The
soldiers were line up around the flag pole. Several
hundred spectators were present from Houston. While the
band played the "Red, White and Blue" the flag was
raised and everybody cheered. Several speeches were
made, but we soldiers did not hear much of it, as the
crowd was so dense, and were not close enough. The
soldiers were then marched to their quarters and our
regimental band played "Dixie." Mr. Editor, did you
ever hear at a reunion of ex-Confederates the old rebel
yell ? Well, that is nothing compared with the yell the
boys raises here when the band plays "Dixie."
Mr. Malcolm CARNES, editor of the Eagle called at Co.
L's quarters last Sunday and we were sorry we did not
see him. Prof. PITTUCK also called this week.
Corporal B. L. APPLEBY, Co. L, at one time was a citizen
of Bryan and run a paper called the Independent. He
says he would be pleased to see the Bryan people when
they call at camp.
The boys in all the companies are nearly all busted, and
135
lots of them have to go without tobacco. It is hard,
too.
Well, Mr. Editor, if you publish this I will write again
next week. Many thanks for the paper you send me. With
best wishes for all the people at home, I am yours
anxious to go to Cuba.

U.S. Camp, Miami, Florida, July 28, 1898. The Bryan
Eagle, Bryan, Texas. Dear Sirs: I have not written to
you all in some time on account of scarcity of news.
The boys are very much done up on account of not being
included in the Porto Rican expedition. We are about
fully equipped and are ready to go to the front when
called in.
The sickness in camp here is terrible, there being about
800 or 900 sick, about 50 or 75 cases of typhoid fever
included in the list. The sick report is increasing
daily. There was 265 on the sick list this morning from
the 1st Texas alone.
You will notice in some of the papers where Miami is
reported so healthy but it is all a mistake and I think
there will be a change made soon.
The drill grounds have been condemned by the physicians.
They are about 2 miles from camp and we have to march
through sand from one to three inches and after reaching
there you find nothing but a low swampy place to drill
on and in wet weather it is impossible to drill at all
for it is about two feet in water.
Well I will close; will let you hear from me again soon.
Very respt., Will DERDEN. Co. E, 1st Texas U.S.
Volunteers. Bryan Morning Eagle Aug. 2, 1898, p.
2.
The many friends of Will DERDEN, who is a volunteer in
the First Texas at Jacksonville, Fla., will regret to
learn that he suffered a sun stroke while marching a few
days since and was unconcious for some time. The last
report received by his father, Capt. S. M. DERDEN, was
the encouraging news that he was better and improving.

Bryan Morning Eagle Aug. 16, 1898, p. 3.
There are about thirty thousand troops stationed here
now and we have very pretty camping grounds. We are
camped on the banks of the St. John's river, and I
believe the 1st Texas have the best grounds of all.
I suppose you noticed in the Post or the News an account
of one of our boys being killed by lightning just before
leaving Miami. Three other boys of our company were
knocked down but were not hurt.
The boys are all scared up. They are afraid that we
will be sent to Cuba as an army of occupation and none
of us want to go unless it is to fight.
News is scarce and will close. Will write again soon.
Respectfully, Will DErDEN. Company E, 1st Texas
Vol. Bryan Morning Eagle Aug. 19, 1898, p. 3.
Mrs. Geo. W. HIGGS is in receipt of a letter under date
of August 4, from her brother, W. H. CAMPBELL a Bryan
boy, now a member of Company F°, Hood's immune regiment.
The letter says:
Dear Sister: Well, I am in Cuba, and you can bet it is
a dirty place. There are all kinds of sights here. We
left New Orleans July 28th, and got here August 2nd. We
had a good time on the transport. One Spanish warship
chased us but we left her away behind. I was sick on
the boat, but am getting better every day.
We got in one fight here and three of our men were
killed, but everything is quiet here now and peace is
declared. Our regiment has charge of Santiago de Cuba,
and we are just the same as police here. I took thirty
men yesterday and went up town and closed up the
saloons, poured the whiskey into the streets and put the
barkeepers in jail. The authorities don't allow the
sale of any kind of liquors. The city is under martial
law.
137
The country here is nothing but mountains. All the
houses are built of rock. We can get all kinds of
fruits here, but the doctors won't let us eat any fruit.
W They boil all the water before they let us drink it.
The place where Shafter's men fought Toral's so hard is
about five miles from town. Dead soldiers feet may be
seen sticking out of the ground where they buried them,
because they did not have time to bury them any deeper.
There are about 200 cases of yellow fever here, but not
many of them die.
Your brother, W. H. CAMPBELL. Bryan Morning Eagle

Camp Tom Ball, Houston, Texas, August 26, 1898. Editor
Eagle, Dear Sir: I have not written you in a long time,
so thought I would send you a few more notes. Since my
last letter to you the war has come to a termination and
all of our chances of ever facing the hated Spaniards in
battle have faded and gone as the mists before the
morning sun, and with the passing away of this fond
ambition a great many of the boys have lost much of the
military zeal they possessed on leaving home to fight
for our country. We still have a lingering hope that we
may yet see either Porto Rico or the Phillipine Islands,
notwithstanding it has already appeared in the papers
that the Fourth Texas would be mustered out of service.
A great many of the boys are very anxious to go home,
but I am willing to stay as long as the government needs
my service as a soldier, whether to fight the Spaniards
or do garrison duty.
The past week has been an interesting one in Camp Tom
Ball. The first thing to happen that pleased the
soldier boys more than anything that could have possibly
occurered was the coming of the paymaster to the camp.
Goodness, hour glad we were to see him. We had been here
about six weeks when he came, and I don't know how it
was with the other boys, but think they were all in my
condition -- flat broke.
The next event was our march to the auditorium and our
entertainment by the ladies. The march was a long and
hot one -- about six miles -- but we made it alright,
and the Houston ladies treated us so nice that we were
all proud that we were soldier boys. We felt that "it
was nice to be a soldier, and with the soldiers stand."
138
A great deal of stir has been going on among the boys
about signing petitions to be discharged but our company
has had nothing to do with them. I hear it said some of
the boys have been carried before the court martial for
circulating the petitions but they were dismissed.
A great many visitors come to the camp, but I can't keep
track of them.
Yesterday after the evening parade the boys of Company
L, took Capt. PARISH by surprise and presented him with
a fine sword, costing about $100. Lieut. Col. HARDY
made the presentation speech, and he is ordinarily a
fine talker, but on this occasion outdid himself in his
eloquence. Captain PARISH made a short talk to the
boys, and told them how much he appreciated their
kindness.
Many thanks for the copies of the Eagle. I get all the
news out of them.

Mrs. Geo. W. HIGGS is in receipt of another letter from
her brother, W. H. CAMPBELL, at Santiago de Cuba in
which he says:
I am now in good health and doing well. I feel better
than I ever did and think this place agrees with me. I
think after the war I will stay here. I guess we will
stay here two years anyhow as our troops have charge of
the town.
I have fifty men with me now guarding the bank in which
there is a large amount of money deposited from which
the soldiers are being paid off. I will get off in
twenty -four hours. There are about 30,000 American
troops here and you bet we have got the city.
Regarding yellow fever, there are about fifteen or
twenty deaths per day here, but I am not afraid of it.
Everything bought here is very high, for example, eggs
are $2.00 per dozen, but things will be cheaper in a
month or two.

SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION
This organization is overshadowed by its counterpart, the D.A.R., but
it is a curious fact that the latter is the junior of the two. I have the
date October 11, 1590 for the formation of The D.A.R., whereas the S.A.R.
was formed the previous ,rear.
A number of state societies honoring male descendants of the American
Revolution were formed earlier and ultimately resulted in a- national socie-
ty, but your author has been unable to determine for certain which of these
takes priority. However, I do have positive information on the California
society, which is written up in the Winter, 1990 (Vol LX:XXIV, No. 3) issue
of the SAR MAGAZINE.
The prologue to the formation of the California and other state socie-
ties is found in plans laid in Washington, DC for the Centennial celebration
of the achieving of American Independence on July 4, 1776. On Parch 3, 1871
then President Ulysses Simpson Grant signed the first bill for this celebr.j-
tion. Next, James G. Blaine, Speaker of the House, on December 29, 1872 ap-
pointed the Committee on Arrangements, which included a certain Aaron Sar-
gent of Nevada City, California.
What part Pr. Sargent played in the subsequent formation of the Calif-
ornia society is not stated, but on October 22, 1875 in the offices of Dr.
James L. Cogswell at 230 Kearny Street in San Francisco, a meeting was held
and a new organization was formed, named "National Society of Sons of Revo-
lutionary Sires ". Officers were elected, including Dr. Cogswell as National
President. So a national society was intended from the very first. But the
better part of a year was required to establish a constitution, by- lams, etc.
and the formal inception of the California organization is taken to be July
4, 1876, with General Albert P. Winn as its first president.
Either following the lead of the California society, or acting indepen-
dently, other societies were formed in other states, and by early 1889 there
were at least eighteen state societies. So, when the New Jersey society put
out a call on April 10 for a meeting to be held at the Fraunces Tavern* in
New 'York City on April 30, 1989, delegates from 13 of the existing state so-
cieties were in attendance. The formation of the present -day National Soci-
ety, Sons of the American Revolution, dates from this two -day meeting. This
Society was incorporated in Connecticut on January 17, 1890, and on June 9,
1906 it was incorporated as a National Society by act of the U.S. Congress.
The first S.A.R. Congress was held at the Galt House in Louisville, KY
on April 30, 1890, representing a membership of 2500 men in 28 state socie-
ties. The Society now comprises more than 20,000 members in 50 state soci-
eties plus a number in foreign countries.
A summary of earlier histories with an updating to recent times may be
found in "History of the Society of the Sons of the American Revolution ",
published in 1962 by John St. Paul, Jr., then Historian - General.
*In 1783 in this tavern's "Long Room" George Washington said farewell to his
brother officers of the Revolutionary Army.

cluded Mary Kathryn BRIGGS, Louise BROWNLEE, Eleanor NANCE, Nancy TIMER and
