Joseph Gorby Gen III is now a SAR approved Patriot
After many years of effort, I am happy to announce that on August 9, 2017 the Sons of the American Revolution approved the genealogy I submitted back in February, and on August 23, 2017 Joseph Gorby Gen III, husband of Hannah Stilley, was Registered as a Patriot of the American Revolution.
What does this mean? Simply that descendants of Joseph who can provide documentation that traces their lineage back to him are now eligible to join the SAR.
Prior to his, only descendants of Thomas Gorby Gen II (the uncle of Joseph) were eligible to join the SAR.
