Judith Ann Joy Surber, 39th Virginia DAR State Regent, was one of these descendants and it was her supplemental DAR application that enabled him to become a recognized DAR patriot.
His name is added to the Pathway of the Patriots as a parting gift to Mrs. Surber from the Virginia Daughters at the end of her administration. This surprise, given to her in March 2019, came just weeks before her untimely death in April 2019. All Virginia Daughters mourn her loss while remembering her service along with that of her ancestor Albartus Bartholomew Joy.
