General Notes: Husband - Thomas McCormick


He emigrated to America in 1735, in company with his brother, Hugh McCormick, and ten years later procured land in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Soon after he settled, with his family, in Cumberland County.
His father-in-law, Adam Carruth, and brother-in-law, Walter Carruth, also located in Lancaster County.

About the year 1734, Thomas McCormick, with his brother Hugh, emigrated to America and settled in Pennsylvania, locating in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Thomas removing to Cumberland County in 1745. They were of Scotch-Irish descent and Presbyterians; were religious, strict in attendance at church, in the observance of family worship, and in asking God's blessing at table. Their children were taught the Catechism, and the Bible was read at school. They also committed to memory many of the Psalms.
