We already knew that, but I found this paper with a family line on one side (David Gardner) and then this information on the back:
"This is the line in which Mrs. Ava Maxwell Bertch, Daughter of Milton Maxwell and Jerusha Swain joined the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution). Her number is 247014 and she was admitted through William Worth.
William worth was an old man living in Nantucket (Massachusetts) at the time of the Revolution, and he loaned money to the colonies to help them in their fight for Independence. So he is listed as a "Patriot" which entitles you to be a member of the DAR. You also have another line Zacheus Macy who was an old man living in Nantucket he loaned money and also held public office during the war.
Very interesting if I do say so myself!
