I have found at ancestry that there was a William McCormick who served in Captain Richard Taylor's 1st Virginia Regiment commanded by Col JamesHendricks, Esq. William McCormick is enlisted from April 1778 and received $6 2/3. He is also on Richard Taylor's company roll in September 1777. This would not be my McCormick since he had passed away. Could be a relative of his though.

My William McCormick # 130 died in 1775. His will was signed 31 July 1775. The will mentions his wife Agnes and his children John, David, William, Lucy, Jesse and Nancy. Since he makes no specific bequests to any of his children and since he names his wife along with William Adams as his sole executors, it may be that his children were quite young at least under legal age at the time of his death.

His will was executed 23 October 1775.

William Adams is listed as one the executors. " I William McCormick late of Buckingham now of Bedford County; and the Virginia tithables for Buckingham County, Virginia

Source Bedford Co Will book #1 p 239.

Further research needs to be done here to get a copy of the will by either finding a copy on the Internet or I will have it get a copy if I can visit Virginia.

More time will be spent on finding information on this family. Thanks for stopping by.. your friend in family research... Grace
