Excerpt from The Alleged Early, Declaration of Independence by Mecklenburg, County, North Carolina, on May Early Declaration Is Spurious The purpose of this monograph is to show that all the evidence, new and old, which is cited in sup port of the genuineness and authenticity of the Mecklenburg Declaration, should be understood as relating to a series of resolves of similar import, which were adopted in Mecklenburg County May 31, 1775, and that the several versions of the sup posititious paper of May 20, 1775, trace their origin to rough notes written from memory in 1800 by John mcknitt Alexander, who believed those re solves to be a declaration of independence and at tempted to set forth their substance. In preparing the work I have gone to original sources of infor mation wherever it has been possible. Hitherto inaccessible manuscripts are adduced to demon strate the origin of the famous resolutions of May 20, 1775, and the successive stages of their construction.
