The Benjamin Prescott Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution held a dinner meeting recently at the White Inn in Fredonia with 18 members present and 2 guests.

Barbara Pietro, registrar, reports the group has four new members. Sandra Haskin, Shannon McRae, and Marilyn Desnerck were inducted by ceremony by Myra Johnston, regent, and Deborah Cenni, chaplin. Darcel McLane will be inducted later as she is out of state at this time.

Bonnie Larkin compiled a book on the Sinclair family that founded Sinclairville. She has been in contact with a Sinclair descendant in Washington state and together they accumulated the information. She is donating a copy to the Sinclairville Library and one to the Barker Library. The book can join other records at the Barker Library.

Plans are proceeding for our Veterans Day Celebration and Christmas Baby Shower.

The next regular meeting will be on Oct. 2 at The Patterson Library Westfield at 1 p.m.

Those who are over 18 years of age and had an ancestor who fought or gave aid to the soldiers that fought and won the American Revolutionary War are eligible to join. For more information, call Barbara Pietro at 716-392-1166 or email jbpietro@gmail.com.
