To all those posting on these families: I have been enjoying the notes you have posted. I descend from Edmund Herndon, son of Edmund Herndon who married Elizabeth Graham daughter of John Graham and Mary Bird. Most of my information on the Grahams and James Bird is from the book "A Tartan of Many Threads, The Grahams of Union Ridge" by Kara Lee Graham. Would love to hear if you have seen this book and agree with her research. It appears to be well documented and I intend to retrace her steps to see if I come to the same conclusions. I also have correspondence from years ago with Ruth Sheldon Herndon. Do you have any other sources that you would share with me.
