The Brewers, Williams, and the Buckminsters are the family names. My grandparents were from Webster City, Iowa originally. My grandmother was Agnes Eleanor Williams born in 1876. She had my dad when she was 45 years old. I am 72.

I am a member of the Son’s of the American Revolution #230948. I am trying to prove to the NSSAR, through a supplemental application, that I am a direct descendant of James Dalrymple (various last name spellings) who fought in Colonel Jonathan Brewer’s regiment during the Battle of Bunker Hill and afterwards.
