I'm Sarah Peterson and I am currently vice president of the Joel Lane Society (CAR) and have been a member for five years. My patriotic ancestor is Daniel Fitch; born on January 6th, 1762 He enlisted in the army on May 30, During the year 1777, he wintered with George Washington at valley forge. Fought at the climatic battle of Yorktown. Died on November 3, 1855

My ancestry goes back 14 generations Daniel Fitch goes back 7 generations. I have been an active member of Girl Scouts for five years. This project is a Girl Scout Gold award project and will be transcribed into a brochure. The brochure will also be made available as a PDF on one of the American Revolution websites. The goal of this project is to get my community interested in local history in our area that hasn’t been well known. * My mentor for this Gold Award Project is Ann Utter.
