We are a new group just trying to find families. Many of
our members are from the families that homesteaded in the county. Many of the
gals were instrumental in writing the county/town histories. Most of the
libraries in the county have copies of the histories.
Projects
of the Society and Individual Members
- Walking and locating all
the county cemeteries.
- We maintain a book of
pedigree charts of our members.
- Members who did the
county histories providing indexes for the books.

- In 2005 our group applied
for a grant to purchase a computer and workstation to house the information
we have gathered on the 49 known Kingsbury cemeteries. Funding for the

MARY CHILTON CHAPTER of the National Society Daughters of the America Revolution
