WILLIAM J. McCORD Letter
copied from Old Family Bible. Wm.
J. McCord's Genealogy. McCord Family in the United States, so far as
known by the writer. David
McCord, my great, grandfather, was killed by the Indians in Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania; also his wife. The Indians took three of his children prisoners,
viz., my grandfather James and two of his sisters, I think Margaret and Jane.
They carried them to Detroit and across the great waters to Plymouth and then
exchanged and returned home. The sisters got home without crossing the sea,
not known how. Another married in Pennsylvania a man by the name of Anderson.
I know of but 3 brothers to my great, grandfather. William, the oldest was
killed by the Indians at McCord Fort, Penna., John who settled in
Mechlenburg County, North Carolina, Benjamin, perhaps settled in Kentucky. It
is supposed they all came from Ireland, seven brothers, their names not known
from Scotland to Ireland, hence called Scotch-Irish. My grandfather had
perhaps 3 brothers, William, who settled in Kentucky; John in North Carolina;
and David, I think who settled not known where: my grandfather and three sons,
David, James and Ambrose, and 3 daughters, Jane, Elizabeth and Mary. James,
