I have a couple of William McCormick's in my lines and my McCormicks are scattered through Ross, Vinton and Jackson Counties so maybe we have some connections. Do you have more information about your William?

I have an 1840 census where he has his wife , a son and the son's wife and their 3 children. I have the 1850 census with only him and 2 grandsons. Would like to see if anyone has info on this family and what happened during the decade between 1840 and 1850.
