I just finished working on the first draft of the documentation for my sister in law's application for the DAR and in the process was edified and my mind directed toward the social events of my family that have shaped its  character through the centuries. As a tribute, here are the thirty Patriots (15 Smith/15 Foster) in our Smith and Foster lines: John Anthony Ignatius Brashears Charles Broughton Michael Carpenter John Cecil Job Curtis Henry Hart John Marshall William Mattingly Samuel McCune Jacob Mooney Lewis Richards Stephen Roby Randolph Slack Thomas Stafford Enoch Stone John Stone Butler Stonestreet John Summers Bennett Thompson Stith Thompson Richard Tunstall William Tunstall Wynant Van Der Poel James Wait Thomas Weakley William Whitledge Mandley Winstead Samuel Winstead William Wyatt Interestingly, our direct Smith and Foster ancestors were born too early or late for actively engaging in the conflict.
