Interesting. Thanks. The letters no longer exist, right? I recognize three names, thus correct spelling. 1. Matthew McCAULEY, large land donator for founding of UNC, was at Valley Forge, etc. His wf., probably the "Mrs.", below, was Martha (Johnston) dau. of Charles Johnston and g'dau. of old William Blackwood, Orange Co. grant 1752. (All are my ancestors through Eleanor/Ellen McCauley who m. Methodist Rev. Wilson Atwater.) 2. Burroughs ESTRIDGE, connects to the Julian S. Carr family. 3. A. D. MURPHEY was no doubt Archibald DeBow Murphy/Murphey of high NC regard in the field of education. Think I saw a state marker in Hillsborough last week.
