Dear Kelly,
Yes, I do know a bit about the settlement as somehow I am connected to James Graham Sr.
through one of his sons. The people in the Settlement (Grahams, Cathays, Brandons) were
like a clan in themselves. First Scotland, then Prostatant N. Ireland, to Paxtang
Turnpike, Lancaster Ct.,PA (no good farm land left) and on to Rowan County, NC. (My
direct is a Samuel Graham b.c.1780-1790.)
Many records were distroyed during the Amer. Rev. but a tax sheet of 1759 survived in
part-ck that. Also look for a lot of the early settler buried in Thyatira Presbyterian
Church yard, Rowan County. Good info on their site.
Keep me posted!
