The Society for History, Research and Preservation, Inc. announces the formation of THE SOCIETY OF LOYALIST DESCENDANTS. This organization will bring together descendants of Loyalists in an effort to gain more knowledge of who the Loyalists were and to give recognition to their place in our history. A member must be a descendant of a Loyalist who actively engaged in military service on behalf of the British, a descendant of a supporter of the Roayl cause, or an advocate of the belief that the history of the Loyalists should be collected and preserved. For additional information and a membership application, send a SASE to Joe M. McLaurin, The Society of Loyalist Descendants, P. O. Box 848, Rockingham, NC 28379.
