| SOCIETY OF THE SONS OF THE REVOLUTION IN THE STATE OF TENNESSEE |
| A Brief History Following the organization of the Society of the Sons of the Revolution in New York on February 22, 1876, similar Societies were formed in several of the States, and finally a national organization was perfected on April 19, 1890, under the name of The General Society of the Sons of the Revolution, with headquarters in New York City. The General Society embraces the various State organizations, and the objects, government, work and requirements for all the Societies are the same. The Society is now well established in the various States.
