Hortense Joins DAR at 92 Years
PORTSMOUTH, OH — Hortense Y. Hairston celebrated her 92nd Birthday earlier this year.
She was later presented with a very unique 92nd birthday gift, official membership into the Daughters of the American Revolution, from her daughter, Jenny.
Jenny who is also a member of the DAR received her mom’s DAR National Number, which became official on August 5, 2015. Jenny was allowed to administer the DAR oath of Membership to her mom a couple of weeks later since she was under a doctors care and unable to travel to the chapter. How cool it that?
There are nine DAR members linked to the Patriot James Cornutt (1750) of which four are via the descendants of John Cornutt (1783). This Cornute line represents the most DAR members of any descendant of Patriot James Cornutt.
