      Cornelius, the earliest known ancestor in this line of Carmacks in America, apparently was of Scotch ancestry. He was living in Prince George's County, Maryland in the 1730's. He wrote his will 13 May 1756 in Prince George's County and 14 November 1749, it was probated in Frederick County, which had been formed from Prince George's County 10 December 1748.

      Cornelius Carmack was born around 1681 somewhere in Ireland. The first record of Cornelius in America is October 2, 1723. This is the testamentary proceeding from the Court in Cecil County, Maryland. In October of 1723 he used the name Carmack. In November of 1723, he used the name "Maccarmick" and in August of 1725, he used the name McCarmick. From Cecil County, Maryland he later moved to Fredrick County, Maryland where he died. His will was sworn in 1749 and at that time all of his children are officially mentioned as Carmacks. Regardless of the name that was used in the old Country, it is obvious that Carmack was the name that he decided would be best for his family in America. This decision to adopt this variation of the name by Cornelius, makes the name Carmack unique only to his descendants and it seems to insure that anyone with this name in america is a direct descendant of him.
