Hellos!

Over the course of my family tree search, I found a total of four soldiers of the Revolution. So far.

I was wondering if people could add them to the whole project. Here they are:

Joseph Fisher, II

Amos Sargent

Benjamin Smart

Richard Tandy

They seem to have profiles on the DAR site. I was wondering if people could add them all to the list. I wonder if I have more....

Here's proof of their service:

Joseph Fisher:

Amos Sargent:

Can't find the other two on DAR records. But, they have records on Family Search and in this book:

Private User, if you find a DAR record for a person, place the link in the "about" and they can then be added to the DAR project.
If they do not have a DAR record, then they are not eligible for the DAR project but can be placed in the American Revolution project. You could also check SAR records and see if they are eligible to be placed in the SAR project.
I sent you an invitation to join the American Revolution and Daughters of American Revolution projects.
I placed links on Joseph and Amos to their DAR records and placed them in the DAR project.
I did not locate Benjamin and Richard in the DAR records so I did not add them to the DAR project. They were placed in the American Revolution Project.

Chris Ferraiolo, if that Amos Sargent is a direct lineal ancestor of yours and if the information entered here on Geni is all accurate regarding his ancestry and my Sargent ancestry we are cousins. Geni shows Amos as the descendant of a Rev. William Sargent, who appears to be a first cousin of immigrant William Sargent, Sr. who is a founder/first settler or other early resident of Ipswich, Salisbury, Newbury, Amesbury and Hampton.

Amos is a direct ancestor, yes. The info is accurate as it's from censuses, a book and the DAR website.

Well then, it's nice to meet another cousin. I was only wondering because I know that on these user-submitted sites there have been a lot of mistakes made by people repeating the mistakes (or even worse, in some cases outright falsified genealogies) of others and I am also skeptical of most any of the connections shown on these sites to pre-immigration generations.

Yeah. You can't trust a lot of things online. I found one tree that had my great great grandmother on there. But, it was missing her marriage to her first husband. I e-mailed the lady who owned the site to correct the mistake. Never got a reply back. It wasn't on any of the ancestry sites or anything. It was on a place called http://sargentrivia.com/

They got the names right but are musing a few people. Dunno about trusting sites like that. And it doesn't help that FamilySearch trees can be wrong, too. Best thing to do is look at censuses and other documents. I have a bunch on Amos on his page on Wikitree:

We must not forget Mara Grace. She was a Sargent/Sargeant and the "Molly Picher" of Bunker Hill. As Abigail once told John, "Don't forget the Ladies!"

Mara was the daughter of Cpt. James Sargent and sister of Ebenezer Sargent I. He married Hulda Sargent who was sister of Amos Sargent and daughter of Jabez of 1720.

Mara Grace was recognized by the DAR as a Patriot.

That link is a 404. =/

That link was a "copy of text" rather than "copy link"; stripping of the last '/' gave a list of directories, which led to this as the probable intended link:

If Joyce Tice could be induced to place such info into the appropriate Geni profiles, then Curators could "lock in" the info (basic fact fields, the About, and relationships of a family surround a profile can all be separately locked).

Convince her to join. Tell her we have free cookies. =D

Thanks for the correction, Dan...yes, I did loose the / somewhere...maybe in the cookies. (Are any chocolate : ? )
