According to Doug Purcell, a Graham family member and researcher, there is a manuscript on the Graham family by J. McNeill Johnson of Aberdeen, N.C. It is referred to on page 242 of "Correspondence and Documents of Highland Families of North Carolina" compiled by Lt. Col. Victor Clark in 1987. The letter mentions the manuscript is dated 1937. In the 1950's and 1960's a lady named Ruth Graham Blue Barnes was researching her Graham ancestors. In 1961 she printed out a summary of her research on this family. A note on page one of the manuscript reads as follows: "There is a manuscript written by J. McNeil Johnson of Aberdee, N.C., some years ago and is in possession of Mrs. Virginia Graham Smith, Laurel Hill, N.C. (died. Her daughter, Mrs. Ed Yarbrough-Mary Graham Smith Yarbrough - is now in possession. She is ill and will not allow it to be examined [1959 RBS]". Doug continues: The manuscript was also in the hands of a lady named Virgie Graham of Montrose, N.C., a cousin of William A McLeod (see pages 232, 242 and 243 of "Correspondence and Documents" for this reference. This would be a valuable document to find regarding our Graham family research. I was wondering if any information concerning the manuscript or the family history may be in the papers of Frank Porter Graham at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. He was a member of this Graham family. (Alexander Graham and Christian Munn) Any help or suggestions to locate this manuscript would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
