Daughters Seek Naval Cadet For John Paul Jones Kin
A DC chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution aims to educate and later place a collateral descendant, Duvall, in the Naval Academy. They learned in Paris of a grandniece of John Paul Jones living in poverty and raised funds to help, but the beneficiary died before use. The group then plans to educate and seek a presidential appointment for the boy's entry at Annapolis, though it remains an uncertain path.
