I have recently found information on my g.g.grandfather, Daniel Parker McCormick. (Thanks Jeff if your listening) Additional info. on his ancestors has been abundant! :) As of now the furthest back we can go is to a Owen McCormick (MacCormick) who was born abt. 1544, he married a women Matilda born 1548 in Antrim co. Ireland. Their son Hugh McCormick b. 1570 Antrim co. Ire. married 1608 Elizabeth O'Conner b. 1587 Antrim co. Ire. He died in 1635 same location. Their son, Thomas McCormick b.June 08 1610, married Matilda Patterson b.1623 Coleraine,Derry co.,Ire. Thomas took part in the Great Rebellion of 1641 according to the book of Forfeitures. His name is inscribed in the stained glass in the Londonderry Cathedral. If anyone has more information that they could share, I would greatly appreciate it. I live in Muscatine, Iowa, USA. Since discovering my new ancestors, I love to read more about Ireland. It looks like most my relatives were from the Ulster Prov. Londonderry. I hope to hear from anyone.
