[S202] Newspaper: Anderson (Indiana) Daily Bulletin CI Citation: Page: June 8, 1953, p1, DAR To Honor Grave of Soldier's Daughter June 13,1953 p2, Descendants of Revolutionary Daughter Attend DAR Ceremony Text:  (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.
