The founding era of many of America’s prestige hereditary societies stirred the patriotic passions of men and women in all professions, including government at the highest levels. Even presidents wanted to stake claim to their lineal ties to the Pilgrims who settled America and the Patriots who fought for its independence.
The New York Times reported in its November 30, 1920 edition that the Order of the Pilgrims was created by the General Court of the National Society Sons and Daughters of the Pilgrims and former President William H. Taft and President-elect Warren G. Harding were elected to its membership. The Newport Mercury (Newport, Rhode Island) reported in its January 3, 1920 edtion that former President William H. Taft was elected Deputy Governor General of the National Society Sons and Daughters of the Pilgrims. In the November 22, 1923 edition of The New York Times, it was reported President Calvin Coolidge, Wiiliam H. Taft, and Woodrow Wilson were elected Honorary Governors General.
The National Society Sons and Daughters of the Pilgrims is honored that these former presidents celebrated their Pilgrim ties to our nation with their leadership and support to our National Society.
