Chapter History
The history of Henry Clay Chapter, NSDAR, began on June 7, 1958, at the home of Organizing Chapter Regent Mabel Thompson Buck, in Arlington, Virginia. There were twelve charter members. Because Mabel Buck greatly admired Henry Clay, who was born during the American Revolutionary War on April 12, 1777, in Hanover County, Virginia, as a remarkable achiever, she proposed his name in the expectation that the chapter would accomplish much.
