   Henry Walton Chapter NSDAR

Madison, Georgia  

Welcome!
Located in the Town General Sherman refused to burn, picturesque Madison is about 80 miles east of Atlanta, and 25 miles south of Athens, in Georgia's Lake Country.

Our colorful past, historic homes, and community spirit give Madison its small town charm -- but it is our location near world-class golfing, sailing and fishing on Lake Oconee, and our close proximity to Atlanta, as well as the University of Georgia, that makes us one of Georgia's best kept secrets!

DAR Centennial Chapter - founded March 2, 1910!        

Our Roots...On October 11, 1909, Mrs. Caroline Hardee Godfrey, State Regent of the Georgia Society of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, met with thirteen ladies at the home of Mrs. Susan Reid Walton Manley to discuss organizing a DAR Chapter in Madison.  Several months later, on March 2, 1910, the Madison Chapter was officially organized, and elected the following officers: Mrs. Sue Reid Walton Manley, Regent; Mrs. Kittie Fitzpatrick, Vice Regent; Mrs. Lula Atkinson, Recording Secretary; Mrs. Mary Walton Trammell Newton, Corresponding Secretary; Mrs. Lula Holland, Treasurer; Miss Bessie Walton, Registrar; and Mrs. Anna Trammell, Historian.

Henry Walton, the Patriot Ancestor of several Charter Members, was selected as the name for the new Chapter.  Born 1753,  Brunswick County, Virginia, he was qualified as a Captain in the Brunswick Militia in 1777.  Captain Walton also served as Deputy Sheriff of Brunswick County during the Revolution.

Our Mission...The mission of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution is to promote (1) historic preservation, (2) education, and (3) patriotism.
