What evidence is there that Col. Daniel Brodhead was a founder of the Society of Cincinnati? My understanding is that he would not have qualified to be a member because he did not receive a grant for the requisite number of acres of land (2,667) for his service in the Revolutionary War. According to "Revolutionary War Bounty Land Grants" by Lloyd DeWitt Bockstruck, he received a total of 1,000 acres, 500 acres on 9 Feb 1786 and 500 acres on 9 Oct 1786. Despite not being a member of the Society of Cincinnati, could he have been a "founder?"

Both the Dictionary of American Biography and the American National Biography refer to this Daniel Brodhead's father as "Daniel Brodhead II," and the DAB calls the subject of this article "Daniel III." I wonder why Wikipedia thinks differently. Perhaps someone misread this reference, since it lists a "IV" by this guy's name, and a "III" by his father, but those are not suffixes but rather a numbering of generations in America. Are there any references that actually call the subject of this article "Daniel IV"? Kevin1776 (talk) 06:55, 18 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
