The Order of Cloak and Dagger is a place where lineage meets legacy—where your family’s past becomes part of a larger narrative of bravery, secrecy, and the unsung heroes who shaped the American story.

Bush, John Clark Carlin, Julia Child, Allen Welch Dulles, Issac Fonda, Austin Row, Nathan Hale, Elizabeth Mary Beltzhoover Cox Norris,  Allan Pinkerton, Robert Snead, Joseph Squire, Benjamin Tallmadge, Elizabeth Van Lew, George Washington, Josiah Wolcott….and many, many more.
