Vermont was home to Col. Ethan Allan, who attempted to make
a separate treaty with Canada in the revolutionary war 
times.  My grandmother applied for membership into the Daughters
of the American Revolution on being descended from 
Col. Allan.  She was told that Col. Allan was considered 
an ally of George Washington but was not in Washington's command,
therefore the descendants of Allan and the rest of Vermont's
Green Mountain Boys were not eligible for DAR membership.
