General Notes: Husband - James McCormick


His father's death, in 1806, left his early education in the charge of his mother; she carefully directed his studies, that he was enabled at a very early age to enter Princeton College, from which he graduated with high honors, and then commenced reading for the bar. The year 1823 found him a member of the bar of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and 1825 a member of the bar of Dauphin County. Success crowned his every endeavor in public life. He was a member and President of the borough council of Harrisburg for some time, President of the Dauphin Deposit Bank, of the Harrisburg Bridge Company, and of the Harrisburg Cemetery. In his church connection he was for many years a trustee of the Pine Street Church. Although totally blind for ten years before his death, his powers of mind were such that he was able to successfully manage his large estate, comprising rolling and flour mills, furnaces and farms.
