Welcome to the website of Brunswick Town Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, (NSDAR or DAR). If you are seeking a DAR chapter in southeastern North Carolina, we hope that the information on this website will prove helpful.

Brunswick Town Chapter is located in Southport, North Carolina, just south of Old Brunswick Town.
Southport was founded in 1792, and is located on the Intracoastal Waterway, at the mouth of the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean. From pirate ships of yesterday to recreational and fishing vessels of today, the city has been known for its quiet, beautiful vistas, vacations prospects, tours, and fishing. There are many historical homes, restaurants, gift shops, antique stores, piers, old graveyards, area lighthouses, islands, an old fort, and marinas. A coastal paradise!
Membership
Any woman is eligible for membership who is no less than eighteen years of age and can prove lineal, blood line descent from an ancestor who aided in achieving American independence. She must provide documentation for each statement of birth, marriage, and death.
Admission to membership in the NSDAR is either by invitation through a chapter in your state society (or unit overseas). No chapter may discriminate against an applicant on the basis of race or creed.
Membership in the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution is a unique opportunity to honor your lineage and heritage as a descendant of a patriot of the American Revolution. Our registrar and Lineage Research Committee will help you locate and document your patriot’s service in order to prepare your application. Patriots, both men and women, are eligible if they provided one of the three categories of service:
- Military Service — Service in the Continental Army or Navy, Marines, state or local militias and privateers.
- Civil Service — Those who conducted the business of new federal, state, county and town governments and displayed loyalty to the cause.
- Patriotic Service — Those whose actions demonstrated unfailing loyalty to the cause as a prisoner of war, doctor or nurse, minister, signer of an Oath of Allegiance, member of a committee, furnishing supplies or many other actions.
