marine, militiaman, or minute man, in the armed forces of the Continental Congress, or of any one of the several Colonies
or States, or as a signer of the Declaration of Independence; or as a member of a Committee of Safety or Correspondence;

of ancestors, with dates of birth and death, if known.

surrender his certificate upon failure to pay his membership fee, unless 'his membership shall cease by reason of death
irs or actual disability, to be determined by the Society of which he is a member.
