Commemorative Biographical Record of Essex Co., p. 308-313:
Arthur Montgomery McCormick, postmaster and merchant on Pelee Island, is entitled to be classed among the prominent residents of that island for more than one reason. He is the only living child of the late William McCormick, the founder of the family on the Island, and he has done more than lead a life worthy of a descendant of so honorable a family. He has been active in the public as well as the business life of the island, and has been a useful citizen, progressive and enterprising in every respect.

It is not known just when Alexander McCormick came into Canada. ...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...
William McCormick ... had elevating environments in the society of the Loyalists, who had settled in the neighbourhood, and on Jan. 29, 1809, married a member of one of these families, Mary Cornwall. They settled on the old homestead farm...
Mr. and Mrs. McCormick were the parents of thirteen children, two of whom died young, the other eleven with his aged mother and maiden sister, Betsy, moving to Pelee Island with him.

John, born May 26, 1813, died Feb. 25, 1856; his wife had died two years before, thus leaving five children to be cared for by the grandmother. David, born July 27, 1815, died June 6, 1888; he was a captain, and as he never married, made the old homestead his quarters when not sailing. William, born April 3, 1817, died Nov. 1, 1887. Robert, born March 7, 1819, died Feb. 2, 1823. Thomas C., born Feb. 11, 1821, died June 12, 1886; he never married and lived on the old homestead with his mother and two sisters.
