From George A. Ide’s memoir: “ . . . Ezra Ide born February 6th, 1736, died September 7, 1785. His first wife, Sarah Allen and second wife Sarah Loving. He was a commissioned officer in the Revolutionary War. The son Abel was by the first wife.”
George A. Ide was elected member of the Iowa Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, December 11, 1916. Chapter #604, National Number 29179. Source: George A. Ide’s memoir. We can presume that it is the direct connection to Ezra which led to George’s membership.
