Alexander [McCormick] found a position in business with a merchant in Philadelphia, and remained in the Eastern States for several years. But his restless and roving disposition soon reasserted itself, and presumably, between 1768 and 1770, he joined a company of traders going into the western wilderness across the Allegheny mountains...The next known of him he had passed over the Ohio river, and on into the vast unexplored region north to the Great Lakes and the Detroit river, known as the western district or the Northwest Territory. It was inhabited by tribes of the Wyandotte, Shawnee, Cherokee, Delaware and other Indians, and Mr. McCormick was living with a band on Wyandottes, but whether as a captive or trader is not known...The Indians were pleased with him, formally adopting him into the tribe as brother with appropriate ceremony, and the chief gave him his sister, a comely young squaw, for a wife, the young couple marrying by the Indian ceremony...By his Indian wife McCormick had a son, of whom he always took great care, and who came to Canada with him, when, years later, he settled down to civilized life. It is said the mother died a few years after the son's birth.
