Betty McKenzie Lane
The Duncan McLaurin Papers have been held at Duke University since around 1960. I have yet to find a family connection with the name of the person I was told gifted them to the University. My discovery of these letters is at once serendipitous and really quite banal. It began with the facilitator of a genealogy class at McCracken County Library in Paducah, KY reminding us that doing a search on Google Books might put us in contact with digitized family histories. One evening I put Duncan McKenzie’s name into the search. One source in particular caught my eye, Political Culture and Secession in Mississippi by Christopher J. Olsen in which the author tells of a Duncan McKenzie who settled in Covington County MS and wrote home to North Carolina claiming to have found productive land which would suit some of his family members there. Still, I was skeptical that this could be my Duncan McKenzie. After a week or so had passed, I looked at the book again for a footnote sourcing the information. After all, if there was a letter written by this man, perhaps I could see it too. The source cited, of course, is the Duncan McLaurin Papers at Duke University, which I found handily online. When I noticed that one of Duncan’s listed sisters was Barbara McKenzie, I set up a time to visit the reading room.
