The Letters of Kate Duncan Smith
and John Harrington, 1891-1894

I have inherited original letters that were written by Kate Duncan Smith, after which the KDS DAR School in Alabama is named. I also have the original response to those letters which was written by John Harrington in North Carolina. The letters date from 1894-1907, mostly in 1894 and 1895.

The correspondence has been transcribed with precision and as it was written in its original form. The transcribed material includes seventy-eight pages of original hand written correspondence written and signed by Mrs. Kate Duncan Smith to Mr. John Harrington and his son, State Senator Thomas W. Harrington.
Also transcribed were eighty-two legal pages of hand written and eloquently phrased material, by John Harrington in response to Mrs. Smith's inquiries. These documents contain valuable genealogical data on other central North Carolina families as well as the Harrington lineage. This is a complete transcription of John Harrington's response to Mrs. Smith, including the wonderful stories.
Some of the surnames in the book are Johnson, Johnston, Hill, Whitmel, Watts, Dalrymple, Harrington, McIver, Smith, and Stephen.Without the documentation of John Harrington I would not have been able to prove my lineage for the DAR.
The book is beautifully bound. The cost is $18 plus $2.00 postage and handling. Send a money order/check to:
