REV.Billy "McCall" Graham
Sam Sloans Big Combined Family Tree gives William Franklin Graham as Rev Billy Graham's Father. William Graham and Maggie J. McCall were his grandparents and John Albert McCall and Mary Yandle were his g-grandparents . John Albert is likely a Mint Hill McCall and related ro Colonel James McCall, the patriot of Old 96 and Long Cane SC.. See more below

Cauliston is the home of first McCalls in Upper Vale of the Nith. The precise date or manner of this acquistion has not been ascertained; but we have seen it stated that their earliest possession of the Mccall Family by our Chieftain in the county of Dumfries, was the land of Colliston ,anciently Cauliston, in the parish of Dunscore(before 1370). As early as the middle of the fifteenth century the McCall(MacCawils or McCaulls) Family is mentioned in connection with the lands of Grennan or the "MacCaulis Messingers lands" of the ancient barony of Tybaris, near to Drumlanrig. Black finds Robert McCall (M'Kawele) at Carnsalloch near Dumfries in 1370-1380.

King Arthur "McCall"?
In Discover magazine in January 1999, a story of a stone found at Tintagel by Chris Morris of University of Glasgow, which had a latin inscription. Arthur" Artognou" father of a descendent of Coll (Caul)
It is almost certain that young Arthur met Druid Ronald MacCallius, while attending the school for Kings on Isle of Mann in 400's. Later Arthur would name his spear,Ronald. All Scottish,Welsh and Irish Kings had to attend this school til 1417. Those who didn't soon died mysteriously.
Camelot would last until a great weather change in 535 AD, which prevented crops for many years and caused many kingdoms to fail. (Many McCalls moved to Inverness to escape)Arthur is thought to be buried in Whithorn,Scotland

Colonel James McCall of Long Cane
The "Patriot", James McCall did all the fighting portrayed by Mel Gibson. His family came from Ireland and first settled in Pa. ,then moved to New River in 1746. In 1754 they moved to Carolina Piedmont, where James McCall married his cousin Elizabeth McCall and moved to Calhoun's Settlement on Long Cane. At the beginning of our Revolutionary War, a number of Long Cane residents were massacred. James McCall's Militia was created and they ultimately were instrumental in driving the British from Carolina. History books have not been kind to Colonel James McCall, because they never gave quarter. It was his mounted militia that attacked Tarleton's Dragoons flank at Cowpens and crushed the army and chased Tarleton Back to Charlotte and retreat to Yorktown. Col James would die of smallpox after this battle, likely from British biological warfare. Col James McCall's Militia still rides today at all the reenactments.

In the hills above Sanquhar is Auchentaggart Moor and a farm ,now owned by the Duke of Buccleuch, named Auchentaggart or "Priest Fields" McCalls have lived on this farm for hundreds of years and John and Janet Stewart McCall were there in 1700. Nearby or crannogs or lake dwellings and a druid circle on the hill of Knockenheir. On a ridge nearby there are a number of small tumuli, about the size of ordinary graves, which may be graves of ancient McCalls?
In the winter of 1872-73, a gold lunala was found be John Wilson, who was plowman for T.B. Stewart. When John Wilson was dying, the doctor,JJ Underwood, noticed the yellow metal "collar" on the mantle. The doctor obtained the collar and gave it to the Duke, who now has it displayed at the Royal Museum in Edinburgh. The collar is estimated to be 2000-2500 BC and from Ireland. Design appears to be Rhineland Beaker. Egyptian Pharoahs wore a similar collar. Was this a collar worn by ancient McCalls?
