William McCormick (2) was born in Colchester South, April 3, 1817. He was one of the young men who gave the warning to the troops when the island was attacked in 1838. He married Miss Esther Buchanan, born in the same locality in 1822, and her people were farmers, who were living on Pelee Island at the time of their death. The children born to William and Esther McCormick were: Frances, the wife of Henry Nichols, of Pelee Island; Eugene W.; William J., of Pelee; Mary E., the wife of Hamilton Cornwall, also of Pelee Island; Alice E., wife of George Jasperson, of Kingsville. William McCormick was a Conservative politically, and both he and his wife were members of the Church of England. His death occurred in 1869, and hers eighteen years later.
Eugene W. McCormick was born April 15, 1849, before his father's family removed from Colchester South, but he was reared on Pelee Island...
