A Private Membership Society

Patriot Daughters

We are the daughters of American patriots, women who descend in a direct line from those who built and defended this country, from the Revolution to this day.

The Society

We honor the line, and we keep it

Patriot Daughters is a private society of women bound by blood to the American story. We are not a charity and not a committee. We are a sisterhood that meets to remember our dead, to protect the record of who they were, to teach our children where they came from, and to keep the company of women who carry the same inheritance.

Fellowship

What we keep

Membership

Who may join

Membership is open to any biological woman who descends in a direct line from an American patriot, from the founding generation to the present day. Each member is brought in by a member who already belongs, and welcomed by her chapter. This is a private society. Membership is by invitation and by approval, and it is held for life.

To begin, speak with the member who sent you, or send the Society an inquiry.
