FARMINGTON — The Colonial Daughters Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution recently met at the home of John Gallagher on Holley Road in Fairbanks.

Attending the meeting were Melanie Farmer, regent; Nancy Flick, chaplain; Sylvia Adams, treasurer; Laura Donnellan, secretary; Belle Foss, corresponding secretary; Joanne Page, registrar; and members Theo Ross, Connie Hiltz, Jeanette Stevens, Marcia White, Dee Webber, Tamalie Paradis, Patricia Durham and Mary Wheeler.

The home is of special interest to the group, because it was built in 1794 by Thomas Wendell, a Revolutionary War patriot. It contains artifacts, collections and items of interest.

A potluck lunch was served at noon, followed by a business meeting and a brief history of Thomas Wendell and his family. As the guest speaker, Gallagher entertained the group with his memories and humor.

The group meets the fourth Tuesday of the month, and all meetings are open to the public. Women wishing to become members must be at least 18 and prove direct lineal bloodline descent from an ancestor who aided the fight for American independence. She must provide documentation for each statement of birth, marriage and death.
