(1) Biographical story of Mary (Polly) Arbuckle Nelson, daughter of Revolutionary War-era soldier William Arbuckle. (2) Story about a DAR ceremony at Mary Nelson's grave, honoring the notion that she was the only daughter of a Revolutionary War veteran buried in Madison County. (Whether William Arbuckly actually was a "Revolutionary War" veteran in dispute, though he definitely served as a Private at the 1774 Battle of Point Pleasant, which was, in a meaningful sense, a precursor to the American Revolution) The two articles have essentially the same geneological information and make essentially the same historical errors. https:/​/​www​.newspapers​.com/​search/​results/​?city=Anderson&county=Madison&date=1953-06-08®ion=us-in DAR Recognition of Mary Arbuckle Nelson "DAR To Honor Grave of Soldier's Daughter", From the Anderson, Indiana Herald, June 8, 1953.
