Elsewhere (aunt Alma's material) it says he was born in Scotland, and migrated after the failed Jacobite uprising, the Battle of Culloden, 1745.

Alma's material also says Alexander McCorckle "given a grant of land on Stone's River, Rutherford Co. Tennessee, 7/10/1784, for services in the Revolutionary War."

I've attached a report on the family of Rev R.B. McCorkle. His father, William McCorkle, was the son of Alexander McCorkle and Agnes {Nancy} Montgomery. Alex and Agnes are buried in the Thyatira Church Cemetery, near Amity Hill, Rowan County, NC. The same cemetery where Robert and Margaret Barclay King are buried. It is my belief that Alex's parents were Samuel McCorkle and Elizabeth Alexander. My data on the McCorkle line stops there, but they were likely part of the Ulster Scot immigration that occurred in the early 1700's. jmrichmond@hotmail.com

Age 78 years MtUllaHistorian (49588412) contributed he following: When Alexander McCorkle had mourned for more than a year, he remarried in May, 1791. His second wife was Rebecca Brandon; the Brandons were long-time members of the Thyatira congregation. Rebecca had also been previously married and had probably lost her husband recently.

The ten children born to Alexander and Agnes McCorkle were: Elizabeth, Mattee, Agnes Nancy, Samuel, John, William, Alexander (Junior), Joseph, Robert, and James.
