Ellen Renshaw House Chapter No. 2624 was organized in April of 2000, with 23 charter members. Our charter was approved by the Registrar General effective August 5, 2000.

             The United Daughters of the Confederacy is the outgrowth of many local memorial, monument and Confederate Home Associations and auxiliaries to Camps of Confederate Veterans which were organized after the War Between the States. It is the oldest patriotic organization in our country because of its connection with two statewide organizations, which came into existence as early as 1890, namely, the Daughters of the Confederacy (DOC) in Missouri, and the Ladies Auxiliary of the Confederate Soldiers Home in Tennessee. The National Association of the Daughters of the Confederacy was organized in Nashville, Tennessee, on September 10, 1894, by Mrs. Caroline M. Goodlett of Nashville, and Mrs. Anna D. Raines of Georgia, to honor the heroes who served in the Confederate Army, Navy or Civil Service. At the organization’s second meeting in 1895, the name was changed to the United Daughters of the Confederacy, and the national headquarters was located in Richmond, Virginia.
