Dona Kimmons is in the Daughters of the American Revolution, under Elijah Cornwall, and DAR records also on Luke Williams, which include birth, death, marriage records. Her North and South Carolina and Virginia ancestors were member of Colonial Dames, Dames of Magna Carta, Americans of Royal Descent, and DAR.
