The Nolachuckey Chapter, NSDAR, was formally organized on February 22, 1921, at the home of Mrs. T. S. Rankin, under the leadership of Carrie McGaughey Clemens, Organizing Regent, and sixteen other organizing members. Twenty-seven additional ladies became charter members, totaling a membership of forty-five Daughters<\/a> in the chapter’s inaugural year.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

One charter member was Martha Barkley Patterson, granddaughter-in-law of President Andrew Johnson. In the initial years of the chapter, guided by Mrs. Patterson and her daughter, Mrs. Margaret Patterson Bartlett, Nolachuckey Daughters worked to preserve President Andrew Johnson’s Tailor Shop and encouraged the government to create the Andrew Johnson National Historic Site. Today the site includes President Andrew Johnson’s Early Home, Tailor Shop, Homestead, and National Cemetery. Early chapter work also included the placement of several historic markers around Greene County.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In 1929, the chapter began contributing to a scholarship fund at what was then Tusculum College. The scholarship is still awarded to this day. In 1994, Nolachuckey Daughter Mary Hurley Wells willed $66,000 to ensure the continuation of this and other scholarships. The Mary Hurley Wells Scholarship<\/a> is awarded yearly to students pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree. The Carrie McGaughey Clemens Scholarship<\/a> is awarded yearly to a young woman attending Tusculum University.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Historic preservation continued to be a central focus of the chapter in the 1950s. Nolachuckey Daughters began raising money to restore and maintain Greeneville’s oldest cemetery, Old Harmony. The chapter held a fashion show for one of these fundraising ventures. In the following decades, the chapter has restored Old Harmony, mapped it, built and maintained a brick wall around it, and placed several markers to honor the Patriots buried there. The chapter continues this preservation work today.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The 1970s marked the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Nolachuckey Chapter, NSDAR. During the same decade, Nolachuckey Daughter Goldene Fillers Burgner researched and marked twenty-four graves of American Revolutionary War servicemen. She, along with other Daughters, began a tradition of research, documentation, and writing that continues. Several Nolachuckey Daughters have undertaken research and authored books about the history of the area and its people.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
