Excerpt:
During the course of researching the Cabell family, I became curious about a relative on my pedigree chart named Charles Ellet, Jr. But the curiosity rose to full bloom when a childhood friend, Joan Poland, from my native home of Alexandria, Virginia mailed me clues about him in a book. Joan has been a DAR member all of her adult life, and she wanted me to read about one of DAR’s organizing members, Mary Virginia Ellet Cabell.
"Turn to page 45," Joan wrote. "This lady must be related to you." The book was A Century of Service: The Story of the DAR.
