A fact that many people overlook about the Revolutionary War, is that there were many women who were instrumental in the outcome of that conflict. They have not been forgotten.
At the upcoming meeting of the Preston Trail chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution on the evening of Thursday, April 5, Marcy Carter-Lovick will give a presentation entitled, “Don’t Forget the Ladies – Women Patriots of the Revolutionary War.”
Marcy Carter-Lovick was recently elected as the next State Vice Regent of the Texas DAR and will be installed at Continental Congress in Washington D.C. June 2018. At the national level, she serves as the National Chair of the Volunteer Genealogists Committee for NSDAR. She is both a National Vice-Chair and a State Vice-Chair of the Chapter Development and Revitalization Commission, as well as a State Vice-Coordinator for the New Horizons leadership development program.
Marcy was named as the Texas State Volunteer Genealogist of the Year in 2014, and is a member of the America 250! Task Force. She is a member of 14 different lineage societies including Jamestown Society, Magna Charta Dames and Barons, the Guild of St. Margaret and the Society of Descendants of Lady Godiva.

Fishing on Texoma has slowed down this past week but looks like Spring is just about here and fishing will drastically improve in the coming days with the warmer temps. Water temp is 44 but with warmer weather and longer days we should heat up into the 50’s pretty soon. When this happens bait and fish will move up into shallower water on points, humps and flats.
