McCormick in Northumberland Co. Land - Grantee & Grantor

There is not an entry for Robert McCormick before 1832. But in this time period, a deed would not have to be recorded until the property was sold outside of the family. Notice the time difference between the "Date of Deed" and the "Date of Record;" in the case of Seth McCormick, Grantee, it was recorded 24 years after the date of the deed. Another possibility is that they didn't always list everyone in the index, just the first couple of names. I will try to get to the library this week and copy all of the early McCormick deeds.
