Wondering if anyone has any info on James M. McCormick who died 1759 in Fauquier Co., Va. Some claim him to be the James McCormick born 1721 as son of Hugh McCormick of Ireland and Cumberland Co., Pa. It is also claimed that James married Susanna Duff about 1740 and that the widow Susanna later married Benjamin Jennings (1779) and Daniel Marr (1786). It seems questionable that James md. Susanna Duff because the Fauquier Co. 1779 marriage record shows Benjamin Jennings married to Susanna Duff (not McCormick). Supposedly, James had a son named John who was born 1745 in Prince William Co., married Elizabeth Morgan and died 1817 in Fauquier Co. I do find James McCormick as a witness in a court case involving Benjamin Morgan 1753 in Prince William Co. Many have tried to find the James McCormick of Cumberland Co., Pa. who supposedly migrated to the Valley of Virginia. The James McCormick of Prince William/Fauquier Co. sure seems like a good possibility. Any thoughts or information about this situation would be welcomed. I am trying to determine if my William McCormick (born c1755 in Va. (?), migrated to Pa. in 1780's, on to central Ky. about 1790 where he was killed by Indians shortly thereafter) could have been part of James' family. William supposedly was married to Maria Cary Eggleston. Art Miller, Louisville

Art, I am copying what is found in book by Dee Ann Buck, Abstracts of Fauquier County, VA Wills, Inventories & Accounts 1800-1865. Evidently, the name "HUGH" is still around early 1800's. Maybe you could get some leads to work back from some of this?

Dear Art, Just an observation: from your message, it appears that Susanna Duff married two men (1740 and 1799) 69 years apart? Perhaps there were two Susanna Duffs? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Art Miller" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, June 30, 2008 9:13 AM Subject: [VAFAUQUI] James McCormick > Wondering if anyone has any info on James M.
