National Society Women Descendants of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company

 

The object of this Society shall be to aid in perpetuating and honoring the memory of the Military Company of Massachusetts, afterward known as the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts, who fought for the protection of the American Colonies and who died in establishing their independence.

 

The Honourable Artillery Company was incorporated in London, England, in 1537. Kings of England were included among its members from the time of its organization. Members who came to the New World formed a Company in Boston, Massachusetts, a century later in 1637.
