The Battle of Moores Creek Bridge- February 27, 1776

The Battle of Moores Creek Bridge, fought between North Carolina Patriot and Loyalist militia forces, demonstrates the bitter internal divisions that marked the American Revolution. The Loyalist, mostly Scottish Highlanders wielding broadswords, charged across a partially dismantled Moores Creek Bridge, nearly a thousand North Carolina Patriots waited quietly with cannons and muskets poised to fire. Expecting to find only a small Patriot force, the Loyalist advanced across the bridge. Shots rang out and 30 to 70 Loyalist lay wounded or dead, including Lt. Col. Donald McLeod, who led the charge. Stunned, outgunned, and leaderless, some of the Loyalist surrendered, while others retreated in confusion.

Moores Creek is the site of the first Patriot victory in the American Revolution and the site of the last Scottish Highland broadsword charge. The victory ended British authority in the colony and stalled a full-scale British invasion of the South for nearly four years. The resulting Halifax Resolves of April 12, 1776, instructed North Carolina’s delegates to the Continental Congress to vote for independence; it was the first American colony to take such action in writing.

The Battle of Moores Creek Bridge – February 27, 1776

The Battle of Moores Creek Bridge, fought between North Carolina Patriot and Loyalist militia forces, demonstrates the bitter internal divisions that marked the American Revolution. The Loyalists, mostly Scottish Highlanders wielding broadswords, charged across a partially dismantled Moores Creek Bridge, nearly a thousand North Carolina Patriots waited quietly with cannons and muskets poised to fire. Expecting to find only a small Patriot force, the Loyalist advanced across the bridge. Shots rang out and 30 to 70 Loyalists lay wounded or dead, including Lt. Col. Donald McLeod, who led the charge. Stunned, outgunned, and leaderless, some of the Loyalists surrendered, while others retreated in confusion.

Moores Creek is the site of the first Patriot victory in the American Revolution and the site of the last Scottish Highland broadsword charge. The victory ended British authority in the colony and stalled a full-scale British invasion of the South for nearly four years. The resulting Halifax Resolves of April 12, 1776, instructed North Carolina’s delegates to the Continental Congress to vote for independence; it was the first American colony to take such action.

At the December 6, 2020 meeting of the Board of Trustees, the Trustees approved a recommendation of the Executive Committee to hold a Special Congress for the purpose of considering proposed amendments to Articles V and VIII of the Constitution as proposed by the Bylaws, Rules and Resolutions Committee and the Executive Committee. Notice of the amendments to be considered was mailed from Headquarters on January 6, 2021, as required by Article VIII of the Constitution. The primary purpose of the amendments is to permit attendance at future Congresses by alternative means if authorized by a 2/3 vote of the Board of Trustees. This would enable the SAR to hold its annual Congress during a pandemic or other national emergency in the future.

The Special Congress will be held on Saturday, March 13, 2021, at 10 a.m., in the metropolitan Washington, DC area, with the precise location to be determined by the Special Congress Chairman and notice of the precise location to be given to all Trustees, State Presidents and State Secretaries no later than Saturday, February 13, 2021.

Delegates must be a member in good standing as of the date of the Special Congress as certified by the state society secretary.

The Trustees have set the registration fee at $100. Only delegates may register and attend. Members who are not delegates, spouses, or other guests may not attend any part of the Special Congress.

The agenda for the Special Congress, as approved by the Board of Trustees, is as follows:

9. New Business
a. Proposed Amendments to Article V of the Constitution
b. Proposed Amendments to Article VIII of the Constitution
c. No Further Business Shall Be Considered by the Special Congress
10. SAR Recessional
11. Adjournment

The President General has appointed Michael J. Elston of Virginia as the Special Congress Chairman and E.B. Coggins Jr. of Virginia as the Special Congress Credentials Committee Chairman.

Registration for this Special Congress will close at 5:00 pm (EST) on February 7, 2021 due to planning requirements during this global pandemic situation.

Please Note: Only Delegates holding valid credentials from a State Society or the National Society and who were members in good standing on December 31, 2020, will be permitted to attend this Special Congress in person. The Special Congress will be available for viewing to all members via the Internet (details will be announced at a later date). Delegates who are entitled to credentials from the National Society are strongly encouraged to obtain credentials from their State Society because only delegates with State Society credentials count toward the quorum requirement. Bylaw No. 30. Depending on the coronavirus restrictions in place at the time of the Special Congress, members with National Society credentials may not be allowed in the main meeting room except for the limited purpose of debate or to vote.

* Pursuant to the December 5, 2020 decision of the Board of Trustees, the precise venue of the Special Congress will be announced no later than February 13, 2021. The Special Congress Chairman is authorized to change the time and/or venue (but not the date) of the Special Congress to another time and/or venue in the metropolitan Washington, DC area if pandemic restrictions would prohibit holding the Special Congress at the original time and/or venue, provided that notice is given by all practicable means to all registered delegates.

† Due to the planning requirements for holding a meeting during the global pandemic, late registration forms will not be accepted, unless necessary to ensure that a quorum will be present for the Special Congress.

The 238th Anniversary

Recognizing the

Last Naval Battle of the Revolutionary War

Greeting from the Sons, Daughter and Children of the American Revolution. We invited you to participated in this year’s ceremony to commemorate the 236th Anniversary of the last Naval battle of the Revolutionary War.

On March 10, 1783 two Continental Navy ships the Duc De Lauzun and the Alliance were in route from Havana Cuba to Philadelphia with 72,000 Spanish coins along the east coast of Florida when three British warships the Sybil, the Alarm and the Tobago spotted the Continental ships.  With the Duc De Lauzun being loaded with the precious cargo, Captain John Green could not out run the British. The Sybil caught up to the Duc De Lauzun and exchanged gunfire. Meanwhile Captain John Barry maneuvered the Alliance between the Duc De Lauzun and British warship Sybil. Once the Alliance was alongside the Sybil and just yards away, he ordered his crew to fire upon the Sybil. Being outgunned, the Sybil changed course and followed the other British ships Alarm and Tobago.

The 245th Anniversary

of the Bermuda Gunpowder Plot

May 13th-18th 2020


In the summer of 1775, the American Colonies are in revolt and the British have responded to the growing crisis in the colonies with a blockade of American ports. The blockade hurt Bermuda as the islands already had a shortage of food, putting the islanders at risk of starvation. Bermudians were divided and while most of the island’s population remained loyal the English Crown, there were many who sympathized with the Continental Congress and its fight for independence.

Galvez Day

Commemorating the longest siege of the American Revolution, the 1781 Battle of Pensacola

The Siege and Victory at Pensacola is recognized as a major battle in support of the United States' struggle for independence from Great Britain. While no American units were involved, the victory completed a series of victories by Spanish units under the command of General Bernardo de Galvez which eliminated British military control of the lower Mississippi Rivers and Gulf Coast. That loss of control was a significant factor in Great Britain ceding the land between the Mississippi River and the Appalachian Mountains to the United States and the colonies of East and West Florida to Spain as part of the 1783 Peace Treaty.

2019 Atlantic Middle States Association Conference

August 9-11, 2019

Dear Compatriots and Guests:


On behalf of the Delaware Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, your hosts for the 2019 Atlantic Middle States Association Conference, I cordially welcome you to Delaware. We are delighted and honored to have the President General and most of the national officers with us. The Delaware Society hopes it has taken advantage of every opportunity to enable you to enjoy the conference and "The First State." While you are with us in Delaware, we invite you to take a moment to explore Delaware's rich history, pristine beaches, and of course our tax-free shopping.

As you will see from the agenda included in your registration package, the Delaware Society, in conjunction with Vice Presidents General Sutton and Goebel, has planned an exciting and informative program.

The Hilton Christiana/Wilmington is conveniently located to a number of other attractions in Delaware and southeastern Pennsylvania, including the Brandywine River Museum (Wyeth family and American artwork), Longwood Gardens (Pierre S. DuPont's home and gardens), The Hagley Museum (E.I. DuPont's gunpowder works), Nemours Mansion & Gardens (A.I. DuPont's home), Winterthur Museum, the Delaware Art Museum and Fort Delaware (a Civil War era fort constructed in the middle of the Delaware River).

In addition to the Brandywine Battlefield, for those interested, Elkton, Cooch's Bridge, Paoli, Philadelphia, Germantown, Valley Forge, and many other sites connected to the British Philadelphia Campaign of 1777-1778, are within easy reach. The colonial city of New Castle, first capital of Delaware and "The Williamsburg of the North" is only twenty minutes away. The nearby city of Wilmington - founded as a Swedish colony in 1638 - contains sites commemorating the first Swedish settlement (Fort Christina State Park on E. 7th Street, including a replica of the ship Kalmar Nyckel) and French assistance during the American Revolution (the Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route and the Wilmington Opera House).

We truly hope that you enjoy your time in Delaware and experience everything this Small Wonder has to offer.

Patriotically,

Harry B. Roberts, III

The 2019 SAR Annual Conference on the American Revolution
Women Waging War in the American Revolution

June 14-16, 2019

Mary Silliman wrote in 1776 that she had “acted the heroine as well as my dear Husband [General Gold Selleck Silliman, Connecticut militia] the hero.” Not all women (or men) acted heroically in the war, but they did act, not just react, and their agency informs this conference. How did women fight the Revolution – fight for it, fight against it, and fight in it? This conference intends to examine women warriors, followers, and activists from many perspectives – American and British, Patriot and Loyalist, free and enslaved. This conference will examine the words, actions, and influence of women in the War for American Independence.

Women Waging War in the American Revolution will be chaired by Holly A. Mayer, Associate Professor of History at Duquesne University and the 2019 SAR Distinguished Scholar

The Battle of Moores Creek Bridge- February 27, 1776

The Battle of Moores Creek Bridge, fought between North Carolina Patriot and Loyalist militia forces, demonstrates the bitter internal divisions that marked the American Revolution. The Loyalist, mostly Scottish Highlanders wielding broadswords, charged across a partially dismantled Moores Creek Bridge, nearly a thousand North Carolina Patriots waited quietly with cannons and muskets poised to fire. Expecting to find only a small Patriot force, the Loyalist advanced across the bridge. Shots rang out and 30 to 70 Loyalist lay wounded or dead, including Lt. Col. Donald McLeod, who led the charge. Stunned, outgunned, and leaderless, some of the Loyalist surrendered, while others retreated in confusion.

Moores Creek is the site of the first Patriot victory in the American Revolution and the site of the last Scottish Highland broadsword charge. The victory ended British authority in the colony and stalled a full-scale British invasion of the South for nearly four years. The resulting Halifax Resolves of April 12, 1776, instructed North Carolina’s delegates the Continental Congress to vote for independence; it was the first American colony to take such action.

237th Anniversary of the Battle of Cowan's Ford

**SAR NATIONAL EVENT!**


The Mecklenburg chapter and the North Carolina SAR invite you to attend the 237th Anniversary of the historic Battle of Cowan's Ford held at Hopewell Presbyterian Church in Huntersville, NC. Our traditional "biscuit and coffee" breakfast begins at 9:00am with the actual ceremony beginning at 10:00am inside the church. Following a brief indoors ceremony, we move outside at the new SAR historical marker to honor the Patriots buried at Hopewell Presbyterian, including Gen. William Lee Davidson, who was killed at the battle.

**New This Year!** 


You will drop off your wreaths outside with the Boy Scouts at the cemetery. Then you will park and walk inside the Gymnasium (look for signs) to register your wreath, drink hot coffee and eat biscuits. 




Our speaker this year is Steve Lundeen, Sr. Instructor and Shoot Boss, with Project Appleseed. Project Appleseed is a non-partisan group of men and women (known as the Revolutionary War Veterans Association) who are committed to upholding the values and principles of America’s founding fathers. Steve will deliver an emotional and engaging message to all attendees!

The 2017 SAR Annual Conference on the American Revolution

The Adams Family
and the American Revolution

June 9-11, 2017

2017 marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of John Quincy Adams.


John Adams famously wrote “I must study Politicks and War that my sons may have liberty to study Mathematicks and Philosophy. My sons ought to study Mathematicks and Philosophy … in order to give their Children a right to study Painting, Poetry, Musick.” The comment seems to describe the story of the family in the generations from John to Henry Adams. Yet the Adamses, whatever else they did, were political men and women. In 1821, an aging John Adams wrote his grandson George Washington Adams, an aspiring poet, that he must study politics, for “without some knowledge of it you will be always in confusion, blown about by every wind.” Politics were central to the story of the Adams family from the start, and at the foundation of the family’s politics was the American Revolution, a revolution that would create an American republic. With that in mind, the 2017 SAR Annual Conference proposes to explore the Adams family’s understanding of the nature, meaning, and significance of the American Revolution over the generations from John and Abigail to Henry and Brooks Adams. It will focus on the way their understanding of the American Revolution shaped their writings and their works from the Writs of Assistance Case in 1761 to Henry Adams’ death in the early 20th Century.

Major Reading Blount Grave Marking Ceremony

A Grave Marking Ceremony will be held in Pitt County, NC, on October 22nd at 11 AM at the Bellefont Plantation, 275 Robersonville Road, Washington, NC

An RSVP is available at www.ncssargeorgewashington.org/GGWC/Major_Reading_Blount_grave_marking.pdf

Major Reading Blount (22 Feb 1757 – 12 Oct 1807) was an officer in the Continental Army. After news came of Lexington and Concord in 1776, the North Carolina assembly met in Hillsborough and divided the state into military districts. Reading Blount, who was then nineteen and had as his only previous military experience drilling with the local militia, was commissioned a captain in the Third North Carolina Regiment on 16 Apr. 1776. Captain Blount became a major on 12 May 1778. In June of that year he was transferred to the Fifth North Carolina Continental Line. On 1 Jan. 1781, he was again transferred, this time to the First Continental Line. He served for nearly seven years. At the Battle of Guilford Court House on 15 Mar. 1781, Blount was cited for bravery. Again at the Battle of Eutaw Springs, on 8 Sept. 1781, was recognized by General Nathanael Greene for bravery beyond the call of duty.

It is my pleasure to invite you to the Fall Leadership Conference/Trustees Meeting which will be held at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky on September 29 – October 1, 2016

The Trustees meet on Saturday morning where reports will be presented by national officers and committee chairmen.  Please note that Debbie Smalley must have your written report no later than September 12, 2016. The report form can be found on the SAR website.   Dinner banquets are scheduled for Friday and Saturday evenings for your social pleasure.

We know that you will want to be with us to celebrate this historic event, but space will be limited.  Also, remember that this will be Labor Day Weekend and Havelock is only a half-hour from North Carolina’s Crystal Coast, so motel rooms will also be in short supply — so reserve your seats and motel rooms early!
