NSDCIS: History and Officers

about THE nsdcis

The idea of the National Society was proffered by Sumner Hunnewell to Janet Walker and Robin Towns at the inaugural dinner of the Order of the Monarchs of Rheims held on the evening of April 14, 2018, at the Army-Navy Club in Washington, D. C. It was thought that this was a unrepresented population in the hereditary society community.

Many of our ancestors arrived in the New World with very few possessions and the burden of having to serve for years in an unknown country. However, their servitude could be rewarded with a combination of money, livestock, or land: certainly with the hope of a better life than what they were leaving in the Old World.

We hope that we not only preserve our ancestors' record of servitude but also appreciate their hardships as they faced an uncertain future.

Our charitable giving

Our National Society is an IRS 501(3)(c) charitable organization.

Over the last year, our Society has supported the efforts of the Pemberton Hall Foundation in Salisbury, Maryland. Pemberton Hall was built by Isaac and Anne Handy. Isaac was the son of once indentured servant, Samual Handy, who became a ship owner and possessed over 2000 acres of land.

The NSDCIS has also donated to Wreaths Across America.
