chapter.
Sarah Maples Chapter was organized October
9, 1984, with twenty-five organizing members from several small towns and
additions in the area of Cedar Creek Lake. The organizing regent was Eula
Robinson, and the chapter name was chosen to honor the Patriot Ancestor of
seven organizing members. Sarah Maples rendered aid to the Army of the
American Revolution in North Carolina by feeding the troops (amt. 2 pounds and
12 shillings - Vol. V, page 56, Folio l, Archive & History
#1930). She was born in Richmond Co., Virginia in 1746, the daughter of
Avery Dye, Jr. She married Thomas Maples (also a Patriot) before 1772,
when she and her husband signed a deed. She died in 1790.
Membership in the NSDAR is open to women eighteen years of age
and older who can prove lineal, blood descent from an ancestor who aided in
achieving American independence. Documentation must be provided for each
statement of birth, marriage, and death between the prospective member and the
revolutionary ancestor.
