Va.; Preston Publishing Company, 1884. Pages 384-385 William Corrick, was born in 1800, in Randolph County, and died in 1882; son of John Corrick, of German descent, was married in 1825 to Daborah Martney, of Randolph County. Their children are: Washington, Jefferson M., Eunice, Daniel M., Martha Jane, John, Francis M., Jetson, Baxter, Elizabeth Ann, Mary Lucretia, Anzina, Eda, Adam, Dow, Joseph, David and Elias. His farm of 620 acres had 100 acres of improved land on it; he held several offices in the early history of the county. The battle of Corrick's Ford was named from him. The word is nearly always wrongly spelled. It should be Corrick not Carrick. His house was made a hospital for the sick and wounded. The kitchen was a prison for the captured Confederates. Everything on the farm that could be eaten was gone, except a few potatoes in a barrel in the garret, and one old goose. It was Corrick's account that three Union and twelve Confederates were killed. ------------------------------------------------------------------- (wife of William Corrick) Register of Deaths, Tucker County, WV (Pages 61-62, Line No. 7) FULL-NAME: Deborah Corrick BIRTH-PLACE: Randolph Co., W.Va.
