Promoting Historic Preservation, Education and Patriotism

While we embrace, promote and support all objects of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR or DAR) mission, we maintain with our limited time, as our primary focus of importance to us, our hearts and efforts belong to service to our veterans and active military through community projects and remembrance ceremonies. We support the flag and the Constitution of the United Stated of America in our hearts, our minds and our deeds; we believe strongly in education on the tenants of Americanism; we are respectful of history and the preservation of America's landmarks, cemeteries and historical places that tell the American story. Genealogy is at our core because everyone needs to know where they come from, to remember their roots, which promotes interest and awareness of the importance of the Revolutionary War.

The chapter is named for Polly Gillet Hull who was born in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1765. In 1783, Polly married Warren Hull, a patriot of the Revolutionary War. The pair moved to what was at that time the town of Clarence (now Lancaster), New York, around 1805. Polly was the mother to twelve children and assisted her husband in constructing the family home. She died in 1834 and lies in repose in the family burying ground.
