McCORMICK. ...
(I) Alexander McCormick ...
To Alexander McCormick and his wife were born children as follows: (1) William, who lived for many years in this township, and later on Pelee Island, was a man widely known, and during the war of 1812 was a member of Parliament, continuing to serve as such for eleven years. (2) Nancy married a Mr. Stockwell, and lived on Lot 71, Colchester South. (3) Elizabeth died unmarried. (4) John is mentioned below. (5) Matthew lived in Colchester South, and has grandsons there now; his wife, Deborah (Wright) McCormick, died April 20, 1874, aged 71 years, one month and eleven days. (6) Alexander made his home near Oxley, where he had 400 acres of land; he married Mary Lidwell.
(II) John McCormick was born in October, 1790, on a 600-acre tract on the site of the present city of Toledo, Ohio. He was a child when the family came to the County of Essex...

...
In his wanderings and trading expeditions, Alexander McCormick often came across white people who took to the Indian life - traders and trappers, or captives - and among a band of Chippewas visiting the Maumee country he discovered a white woman who had, judging from appearances, been with the tribe for some time...taking an opportunity to speak to her found that her name was Elizabeth Turner, and that she had been captured in March, 1780, at Pittsburg, about three years previously...she consented to become his wife...
After the marriage of Alexander McCormick to Elizabeth Turner they soon began to make preparation to return to the Indian Settlement in the Maumee country from which he had lately come; ...
On May 30th, 1784, a child was born to them, whom they named William. ...
...
Mr. and Mrs. McCormick had eight chidren altogether, William, Alexander, Matthew, John, Elizabeth (Betsy) (who never married), Mary (Mrs. John Ferris), Nancy (Mrs. Stockwell) and Sarah (Mrs. Price). It is not known just when Alexander McCormick came into Canada. The date is placed variously at 1787, 1788, or the early nineties... the British government ... was encouraging Loyalists to come into Canada, by offering 200 acres of land to each family that wished to settle. McCormick selected a 200-acre tract in what is now known as Colchester township, County of Essex, near the shores of Lake Erie... and he reached a grand old age. His wife, who was much younger than he, having been but eighteen at the time of her capture, survived him many years, her death occurring in 1839, when she was seventy-seven years old... Her sons all married and settled in the country, and some of them attained old age and raised large families, the name being still well known and respected in the old neighborhood.

Commemorative Biographical Record of Essex Co., p. 498:
Samuel Malott, a prominent citizen of Gosfield township, County of Essex, belongs to one of the historic and interesting families of that locality...
...
On Nov. 2, 1862, Mr. Malott married Amanda McCormick, daughter of Matthew McCormick, of Colchester South...
Matthew McCormick, father of Mrs. Malott, was born May 12, 1797, on the old home place in Colchester, where he was reared with few chances for improvement, being but six years old when the death of his father obliged him to assume responsibilities far beyond his years. He continued to live on the home place until some years after his marriage, and when it came into his possession he traded it for what he considered a more desirable one on the lake. This he occupied until 1843, when he bought Lot 15, Concession 2, consisting of 200 acres of wild land. Erecting a log house Mr. McCormick occupied it until 1860, when he built a brick house, in which he lived until his death. He had cleared up a large property. A man of kindly instincts, generous and warm-hearted, he had many friends. Like his father before him, he was a worthy member of the English Church.
Mr. McCormick married Deborah Wright, who was born in Colchester, only child of Henry and Deborah(Hitchcock) Wright, and to them were born these children: Sarah, deceased wife of Henry Wigle, of Ruthven; Mary Ann, deceased wife of Samuel Thrasher; Robert, who died in Waltz, Michigan; Thomas Alexander, who removed to Calgary, Alberta Territory, where he acquired 480 acres of land, and died in 1894; Elmira, deceased, who married T. C. Munger; Hannah, who married Matthew Adams, of Colchester South; Theron, who owns the east half of the old homestead; Amanda, wife of Mr. Malott; Louisa Jane, deceased, who married Cyrus Wigle, of Ruthven; and George, who owns the west half of the old homestead.
