William Graham was another signer of this Declaration. He was Irish by birth, but no way connected with the distinguished family of the same name mentioned in Lincoln county sketches. In the spring of 1776, he raised a regiment in Lincoln county, then Tryon, and marched to Fort McFadden, in that portion now, Rutherford county, against the*

blockhead." Moultrie's Revolution in
North and South Carolina.
Schoffoldite Tories, and again he
marched to Charleston. His command was at the battle of King's Mountain under
Colonel Dixon. He died within the bounds of the Hopewell Congregation, a wealthy
member of that church (see letter of Wm. S. Harris). Another authority, Dr. C.
L. Hunter, states he died in Rutherford county, very wealthy, and at a good old
age. One of his sons lived in Augusta, Georgia, where he was a merchant of great
wealth.
Henry Downs was from the Providence settlement, and John Ford from the Clear Creek county.
John Flenniken was also a member of this body. He was, by birth, an Irishman, and came first to Pennsylvania and finally settled in North Carolina on the Catawba river, below Beattie's Ford, where some of the name still reside.
Robert and James Harris were both born at Harrisburg, Pa.
