Ken, I'm not a McCormick descendant, but I was helping a friend to compile a genealogy. Notes from a James Heffron ( this was when I was on Prodigy in '92) reads: "Dr. John had a sister Jennett who married David Rankin in County Antrim, near the town of Ballintoy, Rapahoe Parish ca 1718-19...James indicates his notes comes from a descendant of Jennet, but she (?) will not say where she got the information. Jennett and David came to then Orange Co., VA, with Dr. John and settled nearby. Dr. John was to admn on David's estate. Both died same year and James was the adm. on both estates. .....Do you know James Heffron? He was sending the note to Sue Ridenour, Cindy, myself, Jo, Evelyn. I have other notes on the Rankin/McCormick lines. Do you have anything on the Rankin line?
