This webpage aims to preserve the genealogy and correspondence (from 1829) of the following families, and of many more: immigrants Alexander McCorkle, 1722-1800, & wife "Nancy" Agnes Montgomery McCorkle; William Morrison (1704-1771) & wife Margaret (maiden name unknown), who were the paternal grandparents of Margaret Morrison McCorkle alias Mrs. Robert McCorkle, 1770-1848, buried McCorkle Cemetery east of Newbern, Dyer County, Tennessee; James Huie (fl. 1800) & son Benjamin Huie, 1798-1879, each known to have been in Cabarrus then Rowan-Iredell Counties, NC; and Revolutionary War veteran Jacob Thomas & wife Margaret Brevard (Thomas) of Rowan/Iredell County, NC. Many allied lines are considered. The above-mentioned families mostly came from Pennsylvania down the Great Wagon Road of the 18th century to Rowan County, North Carolina; then to Tennessee.

Alexander McCorkle Genealogy (1722-1800) Introduction to the people who engaged in the McCorkle Correspondence that begins with Mrs. Robert McCorkle, 1770-1846, born Margaret Morrison of Rowan County, NC. Margaret Morrison's paternal grandfather, William Morrison, 1704-1771, referred to himself as the first white "inhabitor" of the Third Creek area, now Loray community near Statesville, Iredell County, North Carolina. The grandfather Wm. Morrison, 1704-1771, attended parleys with the Indians and was active (with his son and/or brother Andrew Morrison) at Fort Dobbs during the era of the French & Indian Wars. Fort Dobbs lies just outside Statesville, Iredell County, North Carolina. Robert McCorkle's 1st wife, Elizabeth Blythe (McCorkle) died (I think near Walnut Hill Presbyterian Church nearby Lexington, Kentucky, but I may be wrong about this place of death). Lizzie Blythe McCorkle expired some time after giving birth to "Aleck" Alexander McCorkle, who died in infancy, & to daughter Elizabeth McCorkle (who later became Mrs. Thomas Anderson of Lebanon, Wilson Co., Tenn.); whereupon Robert McCorkle returned to Rowan-Iredell County and claimed the hand of Margaret Morrison (1770-1848), whose Morrison land in what is now Iredell County adjoined some of the McCorkle lands. Margaret Morrison McCorkle after marriage in Rowan County, NC, to Robert McCorkle (as Robert McCorkle's 2nd wife) removed to Rutherford County, Tennessee, where they lived at Bradley's Creek and Stone's River--and, it is thought, where some of Margaret's Morrison family members also lived at least temporarily, including her sisters Miss Rebecca Morrison and Mrs. Mary Morrison Morrison (who married her own Morrison 1st cousin); then finally Margaret Morrison McCorkle and her blind husband Robert McCorkle removed, with their living, grown children, to Dyer County, Tennessee, near the Gibson County Line and Yorkville.
The above hyperlink attempts to explain who Alexander McCorkle & wife "Nancy" Agnes Montgomery (McCorkle) were: Scots-Irish immigrants from Northern Ireland to, first, Pennsylvania, down the Great Wagon Road to Virginia, then to the Piedmont of North Carolina (Rowan County, a part of which was carved off in 1788 as Iredell County). This chapter explains as much as the author knows about the antecedents of Alexander and Agnes Montgomery McCorkle; then proceeds to examine genealogy of their children. The writer's (Marsha Cope Huie's) direct ancestor happens to be their son ROBERT McCorkle (born mid-1760s and died in the spring of 1828); but all of Robert's siblings are listed and, it is hoped, their children as well.

Nota Bene. I think I erroneously placed the death date as 1872 for "Jimps" James Scott (born 1810). He appears in the 1880 census so probably died circa 1882, but I'm no longer sure about any date of his death. I erroneously thought the little, almost-gone stone (shown above, listing somebody's date of birth as 1810) that I found in the old Yorkville Cumberland Presbyterian Cemetery showed the date of death of "our" James "Jimps" Scott. I must have been wrong. But at least I did get a marker erected to honor these people.
