General information
National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution is a non-profit, non-political volunteer women's service organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and securing America's future through better education for children.
Our Chapter derives its name from Mary Carroll Caton, eldest daughter of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, one of the four Maryland signers of the Declaration of Independence, and spouse of Richard Caton, a young merchant from Lancashire, England, whom she married in 1787.
The Mary Carroll Caton Chapter, organized in 1939, celebrates its 70th year in 2009. In the early years, the Chapter contributed numerous volunteer hours by supporting various phases of war work, making Red Cross bandages, collecting books and magazines for servicemen, making and sending Buddy Bags to service hospitals, selling or buying stamps and providing assistance to the Ellis Island Project with immigrants.
