  Letter from Alney McLean to cousin Samuel Stockard This letter had been transcribed and posted on the Tennkin.com site and was saved in 2009 and supplied to me by Kenneth Rickett in October 2018. This site no longer seems to be extant. This letter provides many valuable insights on the McLean and Davidson families but it has several provable errors. None the less, it is a useful testimony to the early history of these families.

  
  

• Notes

  Dr. Ephraim Bevard was the author of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence which was so enthusiatically ratified by the Convention assembled at Charlotte in May 1775. The Convention then and there (assembled) appointed what they called a Committee of Safety, a kind of Legislature, which held regular monthly meetings at Salisburg in Rowan County. Ephraim McLean was a member of that committee. At the meeting of the committee, October 1775, it was ordered that three additional brigades should be raised. Thomas POlk was appointed Colonel, Charles McLean, Major of one of those brigades.
