The National Society United States Daughters of 1812 was organized on January 8, 1892. The purposes of the Society are to promote patriotism, to preserve and increase knowledge of the history of the American people, by preserving documents and relics, marking historic spots, recording familiy histories and traditions, celebrating patriotic anniversaries, teaching and emphasizing the heroic deeds of the civil, military and naval life of those who molded this government between the close of the American Revolution and the close of the War of 1812, from 1784 to 1815, inclusive, and to maintain, at National Headquarters in Washington, D.C. a museum and library of memorabilia of the period.

Women eighteen years of age and over are eligible for membership, providing that they can satisfactoily document their lineal descent from an ancestor who rendered military, naval or civil service between the close of the American Revolutionary War and the close of the War of 1812.

Com. William Wetmore Chapter was organized November 7, 2009 in Stow, Ohio. Our first project was to place a War of 1812 marker on the grave of William Wetmore in Stow Cemetery. This was done on July 31, 2010.

We have since done other markings and photographed the graves of the veterans of 1812 buried in Summit County and worked to get flag holders for each veterans' grave. We accomplished our goal to get headstones for each man who had an unmarked grave. Thanks to the VA and a grant from the County of Summit, this was finished in 2014. We have also done memorial ceremonies around the area for these veterans.
