In 1914, sixteen patriotic young women of Concord, North Carolina, met at Mary Lore Flowe’s home and organized the Cabarrus Black Boys Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The name Cabarrus Black Boys honors nine patriots who became famous for a daring deed during the brewing troubles that led to the American Revolution. In March of 1914, the Concord Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution was incorporated under the name Cabarrus Black Boys Chapter NSDAR.

Who can join the DAR?
Their chapter is an active service organization. They support the DAR ideals of promoting historic preservation, education, and patriotism through a variety of activities. Any woman, age eighteen and over, who can prove she is a direct descendant of a patriot of the American Revolution is eligible for membership. Their members can help you locate the necessary proof if you think you qualify but don’t yet have the documentation. You can go to the National Society DAR membership page for more information. By attending a meeting, you will meet members who have the experience to help you achieve your goal of becoming a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR).

You are invited and welcome to attend any Cabarrus Black Boys Chapter NSDAR meeting or event to meet the Daughters. If you would like to participate in a chapter meeting or event, or to learn more, please email the chapter.
