May 14, 2026, at Moby Dick Restaurant, Colquitt, Georgia. May is our time at the Peter Early Chapter to memorialize our Daughters who have left us. Virginia Collins Willis (Mrs. Vincent) of Colomokee Community, Blakely, Georgia was admitted to DAR on April 16, 1980. She served as Regent from 1984-1986 and then again from 2009-2010, among other offices. Her patriot was Daniel McArthur of North Carolina.
In celebration of our country’s 250th anniversary, Nancy Stone Brown has compiled a history of each our current members’ patriot ancestors. We thank the Early County News for publishing weekly these interesting personal histories for citizens in our area to remember those who fought for our freedom 2 1/2 centuries ago. ♥️🤍💙
