    The wife of Alexander [McCorkle], ancestor of the MacCorkles of Rockbridge, was Mary Steele. The children of the pair were James, John, William and Nancy, and perhaps also a Samuel, since there was a tithable by this name in Rockbridge in 1778. James married Margaret McCollom. John married Rebecca, a daughter of John McNutt and aunt to Governor Alexander G. McNutt of Mississippi. William, who lived on Elliott's Hill and died in 1818, is described as a recluse of eccentric disposition. His first wife, the mother of his children, was a McCluer [s/b "McKee"]. The second, whom he married in 1802, was Ann, a daughter of Captain Audley Paul and widow of the grandfather of Bishop William Taylor.

    The children of James were six. William, born 1762 [likely s/b "1775"], died 1847, was married to Nancy Welch in 1799. Patrick married Margaret Weeks, 1804. John went to Ohio. Elizabeth married Samuel Hamilton, 1811. The others of the family were James and Alexander, the latter of whom lived in Collierstown.
