Excerpt from The Life and Works of Robert McCormick Including His Invention of the Reaper Robert Mccormick was descended from that sturdy stock of Ulster men who came over from Scotland and peopled the north of Ireland in the reign of James I. Of Scotland, and by their industry and thrift they turned that wilderness into the most prosperous de pendency of the British Crown. They made themselves thereby so much felt by the English in manufacturing and other industries, that they caused the government to levy heavy and repressive taxes on them for the protection of the Englishmen across the channel. The result of this was that great numbers of those people emigrated to America, and a very large per cent of them, after landing in Phila delphia, betook themselves to the frontier, and many of them settled west of the Susquehanna River, before the Indians ceded the land to the Penns in 1736.
