Papers of Stephen McCormick, Auburn, Virginia, inventor of a cast-iron plow, consisting of one account book, 1827-1838, recording plows sold and repaired, farm produce, and labor costs; two daybooks, 1832-1833 and 1838, for a general store, one probably operated by his son-in-law's father, J. W. Catlett, in which many entries appear for Stephen McCormick and his family; a patent, October 22, 1828, signed by John Quincy Adams; and specifications for improvements in McCormick's plow. (Any relationship with Cyrus Hall McCormick's own family line would have been very distant.) English
