    At the Culpeper Minutmen Chapter meeting on January 28th, 14 Supplemental Certificates were awarded to CMM compatriots.  Lon Lacey and Larry Alexander each received one, Tom and Aaron Hamill each received two, and Bill and Doug Schwetke each received four.  Larry Alexander's was noteworthy as it was for a woman, Judith Jefferson Farrar, who paid the supply tax of 1783 - check the tax list on the Virginia SAR Website for your ancestors!  Doug and Bill also received certificates for a Forgotten Patriot for their supplemental on on Lt John Divers.  Doug and Bill Schwetke's supplemental for Benjamin Beeson attracted the attention of two other compatriots.  Don Hollar noticed that he is also descended from Benjamin Beeson, and Tom Hamill and his son Aaron are descended from Benjamin's father, Richard.  Tom discovered that he is an 8th cousin of Doug and Bill - we're still working on the exact relationship with Don Hollar.  Richard Beeson is also a patriot, so these five compatriots now have a goal of simultaneously submitting four supplementals from four different, distantly related, CMM compatriots on Richard Beeson this year.  Earlier this year, in helping with a supplemental application, the Schwetkes discovered that they are 9th cousins of past Virginia SAR President Jim Bayne.
