Davie Poplar Chapter, NSDAR

Chapter Information

The name of “Davie Poplar” was adopted in honor of General William Richardson Davie and the large tulip poplar tree on the campus of the University of North Carolina under which General Davie and his committee decreed that “on this spot shall rise the State University.”

The Davie Poplar Chapter, NSDAR, was organized on December 29, 1928. Our chapter is an “offspring” of the General Davie Chapter in Durham, North Carolina.

 

Membership Information

Membership is dependent on one’s ability to provide documentation of birth, marriage, and death of Patriots and their descendants. Any woman 18 years or older, regardless of race, religion, or ethnic background, who can prove lineal descent from a Patriot of the American Revolution is eligible for membership.

A Patriot is anyone who supported the cause for American independence through military, civil, or patriotic service, which must have occurred during the period between 1775 and 1783. For a list of acceptable service see the Accepted American Revolutionary War Service page for more information.
