This was the period in Roane County\u2019s history when Fort Southwest Point was a working fort. Roane County was formed in 1801. Preserving history is one of the main objectives of the DAR. Help us to preserve the history of Roane County and the history of those ancestors who founded Roane County. Persons successfully proving their heritage to an ancestor living in Roane County between the years of 1797-1811 will be presented a nice Certificate (suitable for framing) and have their name and their ancestor\u2019s name engraved on a brass marker to be displayed on a plaque at Fort Southwest Point.<\/p>\n<p>The name of the applicant plus the ancestor will be placed on a large board. The names will be in a brass metal plate that will be screwed to the board.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Project:&nbsp; Historic Bethel Cemetery, Kingston<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Historic Bethel Cemetery has recently [pre-2010] been cleaned up, stones repaired, and generally restored to good condition.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Project:&nbsp; Fort Southwest Point Re-Enactment<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nngg_shortcode_1_placeholder\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Officers in 2004:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Regent &#8211; <strong>Mary Clemmer Bell<\/strong><br \/>\n1st Vice Regent &#8211; <strong>Marcia Wyatt Pickel<\/strong><br \/>\nVice Regent &#8211; <strong>Joyce Tidwell<\/strong><br \/>\nChaplain &#8211; <strong>Martha Kinser Wyatt<\/strong><br \/>\nRecording Secretary &#8211; <strong>Glenna Sue Akers Collins<\/strong><br \/>\nCorresponding Secretary &#8211; <strong>Jane McPherson<\/strong>, <strong>Edith Baker<\/strong><br \/>\nTreasurer &#8211; <strong>June Hensley<\/strong><br \/>\nRegistrar &#8211; <strong>Mary Basler<\/strong><br \/>\nHistorian &#8211; <strong>Margaret D.
