Our Chapter

This chapter, located in Dublin, Georgia, was named for Lt. Col. John Laurens, for whom Laurens County was also named. Lt. Col. Laurens was a Revolutionary War hero who served in various engagements from Brandywine to Yorktown.

In 1915, Mrs. John Asa Peacock was appointed Organizing Regent of the John Laurens Chapter. The chapter was dissolved in 1957. In 1969, the present chapter was organized by Mrs. Virginia Joiner Lawrence.

Inspired by the 200th anniversary of the Constitution of the United States and in observance of the 180th anniversary of the founding of Laurens County, a second volume of History of Laurens County, Georgia, 1941–1987 was published in 1989, with Mrs. Harriett Jones Claxton as editor. (The first volume had been published by the earlier chapter.) This chapter also serves Johnson County.
