Historical Note
The National Society, United States Daughters of 1812, was organized January 8, 1892. To become eligible for membership, a prospective member was required to trace her genealogy directly to an ancestor who had served in the United States military or civil service between 1784 and 1815. Chief among the Society's purposes was the dissemination of knowledge of American history. Concrete ways in which this objective was pursued were "preserving documents and relics, marking historic spots, recording family histories and traditions, … [and] urging…Congress to compile and publish authentic records of men in civil, military and naval service from 1784 to 1815 (Hartford Courant, July 19, 1936.)
The Connecticut Society of U.S. Daughters of 1812 was organized March 2, 1906, by Mrs. Charles H. Pinney, who became its first president. The Connecticut branch participated actively in the national society becoming particularly prominent when a Hartford woman, Mrs. Clarence F.R. Jenne, became the national president in 1918.
