The McCorkle Family was one of the earliest families that settled in Lawrence County, Ohio, and Robert McCorkle was a Revolutionary War Veteran. Below are records I searched long before the ‘age of the internet’ by digging in old courthouse records and hunting for cemeteries with my kids. I would appreciate any corrections, additions, or suggestions in the comments below. – Written and researched by Martha J. (Kounse) Martin-Kounse
