John Bowie Chapter |
Welcome to the Major John Bowie Chapter!
Our chapter was organized on October 24, 1987, with Barbara Lewis Choiniere as our Organizing Regent. We are located in the city of Abbeville, the county seat of Abbeville County, South Carolina.
Qualifications to join the Daughters of the American Revolution can be obtained from the NSDAR Membership site. Prospective members are welcome and we would like to receive Email from you.
Pictured at the top of the page is the DAR Insignia. The golden wheel represents a spinning wheel, the platinum or white gold distaff carry the colors of the society (blue and white) and the stars represent the original thirteen colonies.
"Our emblem is a golden wheel, banded with deepest blue. Each shining spoke tipped with a star, the distaff shining through; The only jewel in the world that money cannot buy without such proof of ancestry as no one can deny."
The hub: Each loyal daughter's heart.
Each spoke: A thought of those from whom we part.
The tie: A noble life well rounded out.
Each star: A deed of kindness as we; go about.
Each flaxen thread: A cord of love to bind us closer day by day.
The distaff: The rod of love to guide us all the way.
The DAR insignia is the property of, and is copyrighted by, The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Web hyperlinks to non-DAR sites are not the responsibility of the NSDAR, the state organizations, or individual DAR chapters.
