SUMMARY:Carroll 250 Speaker Series: Samuel Dewees and America’s Two Wars of Independence presented by James Engler, Sr.
DESCRIPTION:Few citizens of the early days of our republic recorded their experiences outside of pension applications; Samuel Dewees, a long-time resident of Carroll County, was an exception. During his lifetime, he published his autobiography of the events he witnessed, as a young drummer of the American Revolution, through running off to defend Baltimore as an older man in the War of 1812. In this presentation, we’ll explore some of the chief events of his lifetime that he claimed to have witnessed.\nPresenter James F. Engler, Sr. is a long-time resident of Carroll County, a transplanted Washingtonian. He is a member of the Westminster Chapter, Sons of the American Revolution, who joined in 2001 through his patriot ancestor, Joseph Ogle, who was raised in nearby Frederick County and served as a captain of Virginia State Militia in Ohio County, around modern-day West Virginia. He has served in a variety of roles in the SAR, including as president of both the Westminster Chapter and Maryland SAR, as well as Vice President General of SAR for the Mid-Atlantic District (Virginia, District of Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Delaware). Jim was instrumental in the planning and execution of the chapter’s patriot grave marking for Samuel Dewees, including doing the research on the patriot.\nThis program is part of the Carroll 250 Speaker Series celebrating the United States Semiquincentennial, the 250th anniversary of the 1776 United States Declaration of Independence.\nNOTE: Seating is limited for this event and registration is required.
