Sons of the American Revolution
This line has been very interesting due to the main fact that it is mostly descendedthrough the women of the family. After Moses Smith the line's surname changes 3 times from Smith toPatterson, to Wait, to Bullock where it reaches the next direct maledescendant. Two sons of sons follow and then the pattern picks up again with the Bullock name changing toLadd, then Sainz, then Garceau. Tracing through the female line in Colonial English culture is difficultas many times the women's last names were not recorded, instead replaced inrecords and tombstones with married names. A big thanks goes to Robert Rogers, registrar of the VTSSARfor his research and help in connecting this family.
