Joseph Kerner Chapter, NSDAR This is the official page for the Joseph Kerner Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The meeting was led by organizing regent Maude Kerner Ring.

Our members are of all ages and we are united by our love for country and community. Our meetings are held the third Saturday of each month from September through May at 2:00pm. Our chapter was established in November 1936, with 18 charter members and three associate members. The chapter is named for Joseph Kerner, a young man born in the Black Forest region of Germany who came to America to sell watches. He was an early settler, landowner, and businessman in what was originally Dobson’s Crossroads. His increasing holdings and influence prompted the name to be changed to Kerner’s Crossroads and eventually to Kernersville.

Members of the Joseph Kerner Chapter presented a program at the Pennybyrn retirement community exploring the powerful words that have shaped our nation’s history.

The program featured historical letters and speeches spanning from the Revolutionary War through the ratification of the 19th Amendment. From the inspiring words of a President to the heartfelt letter of a World War I soldier writing about war in the trenches, each selection offered a unique glimpse into the courage, sacrifice, and determination of those who helped define the American story.

As we commemorate the 250th anniversary of America’s founding, we are proud to continue this educational series, sharing the voices of the past while promoting the DAR mission of historic preservation, education, and patriotism.

The Joseph Kerner Chapter placed this monument in 1941 to honor the death of young Revolutionary War bugler James Gillies. It was one of the chapter’s first major projects.
