General Notes: Husband - James McCormick

---

He, among other Scottish colonists, participated in the memorable defense of Londonderry when invested by James II, in 1689. The heroic defenders were reduced to the extremity of feeding upon the flesh of horses and of dogs, and finally to obtain nourishment from hides. In this desperate strait they were succored and the siege was abandoned.

On July 29, 1689, following the celebrated siege of the city of Londonderry, Ireland, there was presented to William III. and Mary his wife, an address bearing the signatures of the well-known gentlemen and citizens of that city.
Among these names occurs that of James McCormick, of whom is known little else, save that he was the progenitor of the family of that name, who somewhat later emigrated to America.
He had several children.
