James
Burnett McCord was the first son of Robert McCord and his second wife
Rebecca Johnson; he was born in Jackson County, Georgia 13 August 1806.
Source material on him and his family is compiled below.
From the unpublished Autobiography
and Family Sketches by Truman O. Douglass and Maria G. Douglass, Grinnell,
Iowa, pp.36-39:
Writing about his uncle's
home in Limestone near Platteville (Grant County), Wisconsin, about 1850:
Uncle James B's house was the center of social attraction in the neighborhood.
His house was the largest in the community. The living room, in which
however there was always one bed, and sometimes two, was quite large;
and the kitchen and dining room combined was large; and there were three
bed rooms upstairs. The family, however, filled it when they were all
at home, for there were William and Joseph and Leeper and Theron and John
and Kimball and Morris and Eliza and Olive. Morris Pleasant Foster, the
seventh son, nicknamed "Dock", was about my age, though a little
older. He was something of a wag. It was Deacon McCord's custom to give
timely notice of a punishment. One day for some misdemeanor he said to
Morris, "Now Morris, prepare for a lickin'". When the designated
hour arrived Morris appeared, looking stuffy and queer. He had on a great
coat. The old gentleman (for that was the name the boys gave their father)
said to him, "Morris, take off your coat, sir". Morris demurred,
but the old gentleman was inexorable and then he said, "Now Morris,
take off your jacket, sir." This he did very reluctantly, but he
was obliged to do it, and lo, a sheepskin dropped out. "Morris, what
did you do that for?" "Father, you told me to prepare for a
lickin' and I have." The old Deacon never laughed, but he always
grinned, and the grin this morning was a little broader than usual, and
he said, "A boy that is so smart as that can go free." Morris
builded better than he knew. Uncle James, though he affected rough ways
with speech and behavior, was at heart a gentleman; and he was on good
terms of fellowship with his boys, though he did not want them to know
it, and he was fond of young company. So there were many gatherings at
his house, at which young people from the village were often present.
Our games were sometimes boisterous, blind man's buff being the favorite.
And games of forfeit were popular. But later we developed into charades
and other plays in which the intellect was brought into service. Really
it was a fine bunch of young people at Limestone in the years of our residence
thE. For a time we had a literary society in our school house. Its meetings,
however, were mostly social functions; and spelling school in our neighborhood
or in some other, and these were mostly for social purposes. I do not
remember a single solid couple, or a single marriage of the young people
of Limestone during all the years of our residence there. The social
life of the adults took the form of neighborliness in borrowing
and lending, in frequent
calls, in sending to the neighbors choice portions from the kitchen or
pantry, in visits occupying a whole day, in quiltings, etc., and in caring
for the sick. A hired, trained nurse would have been counted an impertinence
in that neighborhood. A kinder and more neighborly community there could
scarcely be.
I have already referred
to the religious life of the community. Almost every house was a "house
of prayer". Nearly all the adults and many of the children belonged
to the church in Platteville. Our people, the McCords, the Patersons,
the Robinsons, the Armstrongs, the Fairchilds, the Dixons, the Mitchells,
and others were members at Platteville. We had weekly prayer meetings
in our school house and for some years held a Sunday School there Sunday
afternoons. Sabbath observance here was not quite so rigid as formerly.
Whistling on Sunday was discouraged, but not prohibited. We might roam
about the farm a little; father and mother would sometimes take a stroll
across the fields and comment on the growing crops. Almost every Sabbath
afternoon toward evening, some of the neighbors would drop in. Deacon
McCord was almost sure to make us a visit sometime Sunday afternoon, and
often the boys would come with their father and have a "sing".
The Deacon, like my mother, could sing almost anything that he had ever
heard and there was but one hymn in the church hymn book which was without
the music to which he could not adapt a tune. The boys learned to sing
by note and they had a tuning fork, at which the old Deacon turned up
his nose. He disdained such help in starting a tune, though I must report
that he was sometimes obliged to back up and start over again, pitching
his tune too low or too high, though usually he struck the key note at
the first trial. Those afternoon "sings" especially when Mary
Etta Mears came in with her rich alto, and Elias with his splendid bass
or his fiddle, and Clinton Mears with his clarinet, were memorable occasions
and the Sabbath was a delight. Sabbath morning, almost without exception,
found us -- a wagon load of us -- at the services in the village; and
on the way often we would fall in with other wagon loads of neighbors
going to church. In those days, often all the hitching posts about the
church building were occupied. So decided were the religious influences
of the community, coupled with those of the Platteville church, that in
the space of five years, five of us started out to prepare for the ministry.
David and Samuel Mitchell were of the number and Leeper and John McCord
and myself. The Mitchell boys went to Princeton and became Presbyterian
preachers; the McCord boys went to Beloit College and to Lane Seminary.
Jerry McCord's notes on
James Burnett: established on a farm at Limestone a mile and half northwest
of Platteville. In a little shop he manufactured woodenware of various
descriptions, Limestone Creek furnishing the water power.

From Clare McKenzie, "Congregational
Church, Toulon, Illinois, 1846-1921: Journal of the Illinois State
Historical Society. Springfield, Illinois: Vol.13, April 1920, pp.
504-36.
Rev. R. L. McCord was
elected pastor August 3, 1867. It is to his memory and that of his brother-in-law,
Judge W. W. Wright, of beloved memory in this Church, a nephew of the
first pastor, Rev. S. G. Wright, that the north window in the main audience
room is dedicated by the McCord and Wright families.
Rev. McCord was "a man
gentle, sympathetic, benignant, and gracious, surcharged with pastoral
feeling" of whom one of his parishioners said, "He earned his
salary by the way he met people on the street."
It was during his pastorate
that Rev. Willis C. Dewey, who became a member of this Church in 1863,
was examined and ordained here for the work of a foreign missionary and
sent to Turkey....
Rev. McCord, it was also,
who gave the right hand of fellowship to that most distinguished son of
this Church, Dr. Harry P. Dewey, of Minneapolis, whose name is named throughout
this country wherever Congregationalism is known.
After a long pastorate of
nearly eleven years, Rev. McCord presented his resignation to take effect
April 15, 1878, and Rev. J. C. Myers succeeded him.
November 29, 1879, the
Church observed its thirty-third anniversary with a reunion and supper.
On this occasion Rev. McCord was present and read an interesting historical
sketch of the Church and its work during his pastorate and reminiscences
were given by different members.
(A Rev. J. H. Dixon was
a minister in the church from July 1, 1886 to June 25, 1892 and his son
Rev. Will Dixon became a minister in other Congregational churches. It
would be interesting to know whether these Dixons are related to those
who moved to Grant County, Wisconsin from Bond County, Illinois.)
In recording missionaries
of the church: the family of former pastor, Rev. McCord, also has two
such representatives, Dr. James McCord, who spent much of his boyhood
here, for many years in the medical mission work in Africa, and Miss Mamie
McCord, who married a missionary, Mr. Larkin, and gave her life to this
field of service..
The following
biography of Robert L.(Leeper) McCord is taken from the History of
Calhoun County, Iowa published in 1902, pages 262-268 and said to
have a picture of Robert and his wife, probably on pages 263-266.
Robert L. McCord for many years devoted his life to the ministry, but
is now giving his energy to agricultural pursuits in Calhoun county, making
his home in Lake City. He was born in Bond County, Illinois, in what
was then the town of Bethel, but is now Reno, his birth occurring August
7, 1830. His father, James B. McCord, was born in Franklin county, Georgia,
August 15, 1806, and the ancestry of the family can be traced to the north
of Ireland, whence the great-grand-father (should be great-great-great-grandfather
TBH) of our subject came to the new world. Robert McCord, the grandfather,
was probably a native of Pennsylvania (should be Virginia TBH), where
different members of the family followed the hatting trade in the city
of Pittsburg. In early life, however, he went south passing through Virginia
into Georgia.
About
1820 he removed to Illinois, taking up his abode in Bond County, when
his son James was a youth of fourteen years. For his first wife the grandfather,
Robert McCord, married Hannah (Fanny TBH) Black, and after her death he
wedded Rebecca Johnston. The following children were of the first union:
Matilda, who became Mrs. Dixon; Mrs Fidelis Leeper; Mrs. Ellen Short;
Mrs. Nancy White; William and John, who remained in Columbia, Tennessee,
where the family resided for about eleven years before coming to Illinois;
Sarah, who became Mrs. Mears; Robert, who resided in Hillsboro, Illinois;
Mrs. Fanny Blizzard; and Mrs. Mary Mears. Of the second marriage nine
children were born, as follows: James B.; Lucinda; Mrs. Elizabeth Douglas;
Annademy, who married Rev. Robert Stewart, a prominent minister of southern
Illinois; Gideon Blackburn; Mrs. Jane Douglas; David T.; one who died
in infancy; and Louisa, who died aged twenty -- making nineteen children
in the family altogether. The father was a soldier in the Black Hawk
war and was actively identified with the early associations which shaped
the pioneer history of Illinois. Throughout his entire life he followed
farming, and was also a local minister of the Presbyterian church. He
died in 1841 in Bond county, Illinois, when eighty-one years of age.
His second wife passed away while in that locality about 1835.
James
B. McCord, the father of our subject, accompnied his parents to Tennessee
and thence to Illinois. He married Miss Margaret C. Robinson, who was
born in Lincoln county, North Carolina, August 22, 1805. In 1845 he removed
with his family from Bond county to Platteville, Wisconsin, where he resided
until 1866, when he went to Granville, where he was a cabinetmaker and
turner, and manufactured grain cradles. At the time of his removal to
Wisonsin he found there a wild pioneer region, and took an active part
in its development and progress. The marriage of Mr. and Mrs. James B.
McCord, which was celebrated in Edwardsville (Madison County), Illinois,
March 2, 1826, was blessed with nine children, namely William R., who
was born March 5, 1827, and resides in Chicago; Joseph B., who was born
September 26, 1828, and died May 5, 1873; Robert L., of this review; Theron
Baldwin, who was born August 18, 1832, and is now deceased; John D., who
was born October 4, 1834, and is a pastor of a Congregational church in
Chicago; Edwin D., who was born January 19, 1837, and is living in San
Francisco; Morris F., who was born June 29, 1841, and resides in La Prairie,
Illinois; Eliza Jane, who was born September 7, 1843, and is the wife
of Warren C. Smith of Colusa, California; and Mary Olive, who was born
in Wisconsin, January 14, 1849, and is principal of one of the Austin
schools of Chicago. The father of this family died in Granville, Illinois,
August 23, 1874, while the mother passed away in Wisconsin, April 27,
1865. Mr. James B. McCord married for his second wife Miss Martha Hopkins,
the marriage being celebrated October 15, 1867.
Robert
L. McCord spent the first fourteen years of his life in Illinois, where
he attended the common schools and through the summer months followed
farming. After the removal of the family to Wisconsin he became a student
in the academy at Platteville, where he spent two years. He was also
a student in Beloit College for a year and for three years in the Illinois
College at Jacksonville, Illinois, where he was graduated in 1856, with
the degree of Bachelor of Arts. On the expiration of that period he matriculated
in the Union Theological Seminary in New York City, and for two years
was a student in Lane Seminary at Walnut Hills, now Cincinnati, Ohio,
where he won the degree of Bachelor of Divinity in 1859, when he was licensed
to preach the gospel.
Mr. McCord
first located at Lincoln (Logan County), Illinois, where he was pastor
of a Congregational church for five years. After that he was pastor of
the Congregational church at Toulon (Stark County), Illinois, until 1878,
after which he spent four years in New Windsor, Illinois, and a similar
period in Lyonsville, Illinois. His next pastorate was in Sheffield,
Illinois where he remained for six years. In 1890 he came to Iowa and
labored with the churches at Lake View and at Silver Creek for two or
three years, as supply, but since that time he has retired from the ministry,
although his interest in the church and its progress and upbuilding has
never abated. On March 1, 1892, he took up his abode at Lake City, and
since that time he has given his attention to the improvement of his farm
lands. He has an entire section divided into two farm lots, near Lake
City.
Mr. McCord
was married September 3, 1867, at Granville, Illinois, the lady of his
choice being Helen De Armond Hopkins, a native of that town, where her
parents, Joel and Eleanor (Harrison) Hopkins, were early settlers. The
former was a native of Red Oak, Ohio, and his wife was born in Harrisburg,
Dauphin county, Pennsylvania. When sixteen years of age he accompanied
his parents on their removal to Granville, where his family located in
1834. He is still living on the old homestead, but his wife died in 1849.
Unto Mr. and Mrs. McCord have been born five children: Joel Hopkins,
who is cashier of the bank at Early, Sac county, Iowa; James B., who is
a medical missionary to the Zulu mission; Mary Eleanor, who became the
wife of Rev. R. B. Larkin, and went with him as missionary to Turkey for
two years, and died in Colorado, in February 1900; Robert Leigh, who is
an attorney in Sac City; and Archibald Wilson, who is assistant cashier
of the Salem Bank of South Dakota.
Mr. McCord
has voted with the Republican party, but he is a stanch Prohibitionist
in principle. His life has been earnest and the greater part of his time
and attention have been devoted to the holy calling which he made his
life work. His influence has ever been on the side of all movements calculated
to promote the welfare of his fellow men and to cultivate their moral
development.
