Guilford Chapter Colonial Dames XVII Century
The National Society Colonial Dames XVII Century is an organization of women, eighteen years of age or over, who are lineal descendants of an ancestor who lived and served prior to 1701 in one of the Original Colonies in the geographical area of the present United State of America. The organization was established on July 15, 1915 and is dedicated to preserving the memory of those that settled here in the 17th Century.
The Guilford Chapter was organized September 13, 1979 in Rockford, IL. Most of our members are from the Northern Illinois area, currently Belvidere, Freeport, Galena, Geneva, Loves Park, Rockford and Roscoe. The Guilford Chapter is a small but friendly group, and always welcome new members.
