"In keeping with the educational goals and objectives set out by the National Society, this web site is designed to perpetuate the memory of those who, by their services or sacrifices during the war of the American Revolution, achieved the independence of the American people."
Nathan Gann was a frontiersman from the territory of eastern Tennessee. Many of our countries leaders were located in the same area at the same time in history. For more about Lt. Nathan Gann see his story. Click here for the History of the Chapter.

This is NOT a group of snobbish individuals talking about their distinguished ancestors. For the most part our Revolutionary War ancestors were hard working farmers who took up arms to fight for our independence. The objects of the society are declared to be patriotic, historical and educational, and we seek to perpetuate the memory of our Revolutionary War ancestors.
