The Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War (DUVCW) has been working on the publication of a volume of writeups & photos of all their ancestors who joined the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) after the War. (The GAR was the forerunner of modern groups like the VFW and was instrumental in establishing pension and medical care benefits as the right of veterans and survivors.) The DUVCW announced at its annual convention last week in Grand Rapids, MI, that the publication would now be a website: DUVCWGAR.org.
Mayflower descendant Peleg Ford Clapp is there, and there are probably others. Peleg served in both the infantry and artillery and achieved the rank of second lieutenant. NEHGS online vital records show he was born in Scituate, MA in 1835 and was a Gen 8 Doty and Warren descendant, as follows: Harriet (Ford/Foord) Clapp, Dr. Peleg Ford, Nathaniel, Alice (Warren) Ford, James Warren, Nathaniel, Richard Warren of the Mayflower; Harriet (Ford/Foord) Clapp, Dr. Peleg Ford, Nathaniel, Alice (Warren) Ford, Sarah (Doty) Warren, Edward Doty, Edward Doty of the Mayflower.
If you would like to see pictures and data contributed so far by the 4,000 DUVCW members, go to DUVCWGAR.org. You can search the database by name or place. This is brand new, so the DUVCW welcomes your feedback as well.
