About Us
The Marietta Chapter formed in October 2005, with the assistance of the District and State Officers, Ewing Chapter SAR (Meigs and Athens County, Ohio); Captain James Neil Chapter SAR (Parkersburg, West Virginia); Marietta Chapter DAR (Marietta, Ohio); Nabby Lee Ames Chapter DAR (Athens, Ohio); and the tremendous help from our first President, Roy Fluharty. Fluharty is Past President of the Richard Montgomery Chapter SAR (Dayton, Ohio).The AMERICAN LEGION POST 64, Marietta, Ohio, is to be commended for allowing us to use the Legion Hall as our meeting place.
As a veteran and historian, Compatriot Kenneth Riley saw the lack of action by the men of Washington County to honor their abundant Revolutionary War ancestry as something that needed remedied. Compatriot Riley therefore is to be commended for initiating contacts with the SAR and DAR to help organize and charter this new chapter in Ohio’s Pioneer City.
