OUR CHAPTER HISTORY
The Green Mountain Chapter was organized on April 18, 1892 in Burlington, Vermont, only two years after the National Society was established. Green Mountain No. 1, as it was called, was the parent chapter of the state, as many of its twenty-two charter members became the founders of other chapters. One of Green Mountain Chapter's first actions was to contribute to a fund for a portrait of first lady Mrs. Benjamin Harrison to be placed in the White House.

Agnes Lesslie Peck (1843 - 1917)

On October 29, 1879, Agnes married Theodore Stafford Peck, of Burlington, Vermont. Her Revolutionary ancestor was Peter Ream, who served as Corporal in the Philadelphia City Troop, which, during the Revolution, acted as a bodyguard to General Washington.
