Our Chapter is named for Colonel Francis Vigo who gave financial aid to Colonel George Rogers Clark in his campaign against Fort Sackville.
The chapter has marked the graves of 24 Revolutionary War patriots in Knox County. To see all of the names for those patriots and soldiers buried in Knox County, click here."
In 1909 a Marker was placed at Greenlawn Cemetery, Vincennes, commemorating Francis Vigo who aided the cause of liberty in the capture of Fort Sackville, February 25, 1779.
In 1917, the chapter purchased "Grouseland", the home of William Henry Harrison built in 1804. It is designated as a Registered National Landmark.
On each Memorial Day the chapter members decorate the grave of Francis Vigo.

The chapter maintains a list of the patriot ancestors of our members. There are well over 1000 names listed.
