The Daughters of the American Colonists was founded on December 9, 1920 by Sarah Elizabeth Mitchell Guernsey at the Planters Hotel in St. Louis, Missouri and was federally chartered in 1984. [1] The founding members, along with Guernsey, were Ida M. Schaaf, Emma Wagoner Long, Lavinia Crow Reilly, Harriet Holbrook Norris, Margaret Blaine Campbell, Euphrates S. Pearson, Nola P. Hatch, Jennie Bowles Thomas, Emily Willet Davis, Stella Hereford Ball, Dora Eddleman Simmons, and Minnie Walker Wilcox. [1] The society's object is to research and preserve the history and deeds of American colonists and commemorate deeds of colonial interest. [2] The organization is headquartered at 2205 Massachusetts Avenue on Embassy Row in Washington, D.C.

There are various chapters of the Daughters of the American Colonists and over 196 historical markers have been erected by the society, including the Original Patentees Memorial at President's Park South which was erected in 1936. [3] [4] In 1940, the Arizona Society of the Daughters of the American Colonists was organized which in 1991 had chapters in three cities. [5]
