There was a James McCormick b. 1754 in Cumberland Co., Pa. son of Samuel McCormick and married to Elizabeth Gregory. James came to Nicholas Co., Ky. (then Bourbon Co.) in 1790 and settled on Hinkston Cr. His son Walter b. 1793 married Eleanor Rannels and son Ralph b. 1797 md. Nancy Rannels 1830 in Bourbon Co. Both Walter and Ralph migrated to Morgon Co., Illinois. Based on the Shane Papers it appears that Eleanor and Nancy were daughters of a William Rannels who came to Bourbon Co. in 1803 from Washington Co., Pa.--previously from Frederick Co., Va. Also, in the Shane Papers there is shown a David A. Rannels (apparently a brother of David) who had a daughter named Sarah who apparantly md. a Wm. B. Posey and lived in Jacksonville, Illinois. No direct connections but hopefully it will provide some clues.
