NOTES
















FURTHER NOTES




The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) publishes a Patriot Index, a list of persons whose honorable service in the cause of independence during the American Revolution renders their female descendants eligible for membership in the NSDAR. Several ancestors of Harry Browne appear in the Patriot Index, including:


    Nathan Babbitt (number 72)
    Snellem Babbitt (number 36)
    Elisha Bradford (number 34)
    Abiezer Edson (number 76)

While Mr. Browne is not eligible for membership in the NSDAR (by not being female), he is eligible for membership in the equivalent organization for men, the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution.
