Biographical history
The McCorkill family is of Irish origin. It was John McCorkill Sr, who first immigrated to Quebec together with his brother James in 1818. John McCorkill Sr, born around 1783 in Ireland, was the eldest son of John McCorkill and Nancy Black. He was married to Mary Graham, who was born circa 1796 in Scotland, and died on October 1, 1859 in Farnham, Quebec. John McCorkill Sr died October 2, 1844, also in Farnham, Quebec. His brother James was born around 1795, and died on April 10, 1865 in Farnham. He was married to Martha Hutchison (ca. 1794, Ireland – January 8, 1864, Farnham, Quebec).
