The Texas chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution
came to be named for this Pennsylvania patriot because four of his descendants
were charter members when it was organized March 6, 1906. The Chapter builds
its programs around the objectives of the National Society, which are historical,
educational and patriotic. On December 8, 1909 the chapter received it’s
charter. The William Findley Chapter, NSDAR was the 13th chapter to organize
in the State of Texas.
