The Michaels family has many ancestors who fought in the Revolutionary War. The following 21 ancestors have been recognized by the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) and have entries in the DAR Ancestor database. Other ancestors may have served in the Revolution, but they’re not listed here due to insufficient documentation for DAR, which has strict standards for inclusion in it’s database.
- Jonathan Eastman (New Hampshire, DAR: A035749); via Paul’s mom
- Cornelius Alexander Roberts (Virginia, Montgomery County Militia, DAR: A096908); via Emily’s dad
- Thomas Lindsey Jr. (South Carolina, DAR: A070634); via Emily’s dad
- Thomas Lindsey Sr. (South Carolina, DAR: A070633); via Emily’s dad
- Samuel Lusk (North Carolina, DAR: A072464); via Emily’s dad
- Lemuel Bishop (Vermont, 6th Vermont Regiment, DAR: A212967); via Emily’s dad
- Henry Iddings (Pennsylvania, DAR: A210443); via Emily’s dad
- James Richardson (Virginia, DAR: A095481); via Emily’s dad
- Cornelius Dowd II (Massachusetts, DAR: A033985); via Emily’s dad
- Samuel McGaughey (North Carolina, DAR: A076895); via Emily’s dad

- John Wood** (Vermont, DAR: A128022); via Emily’s dad
- Samuel Nute (New Hampshire, DAR: A085215); via Emily’s mom
- Samuel Wentworth (Massachusetts, DAR: A123017); via Emily’s mom
- Moses Thurston Sr. (New Hampshire, DAR: A115183); via Emily’s mom
- Charles Huntoon Sr. (New Hampshire, DAR: A060835); via Emily’s mom
- Daniel Marrow Sr. (Massachusetts, DAR: A074090); via Emily’s mom
- John Chandler (Massachusetts, DAR: A020615); via Emily’s mom
- Phinehas Thompson (Massachusetts, DAR: A114492); via Emily’s mom
- William Kempton (Massachusetts, DAR: A064534); via Emily’s mom
Note that our family has not proven lineage to any of these ancestors with documentation that would meet DAR’s strict standards, and thus no one in the family is a DAR member – yet. I’m currently working on an application to prove lineage to Cornelius Alexander Roberts. This site will be updated once the application is approved by DAR.
Colonies that our Patriot ancestors represented in the Revolutionary War were:
| State | Count |
| Massachusetts | 6 |
| New Hampshire | 4 |
| North Carolina | 2 |
| Pennsylvania | 1 |
| South Carolina | 2 |
| Virginia | 4 |
| Vermont | 2 |
**Of interest, John Wood fought in the Battle of Bennington, which is depicted in this post’s featured image.
