Charles "Cormac" Annis was born in the town of Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, Ulster Province, Ireland in the year 1638. Charles is often referred to in the early records of Essex county, Massachusetts as "Curmac", "Curmack" or "Cormac". The latter is correct, as that name is the Irish, or more properly, Celtic translation of Charles.
Charles "Cormac" Annis married Sarah Chase on May 15, 1666 in Newbury, Massachusetts. They had eight known children: Joseph, Sarah, Abraham, Aquila, Isaac, Priscilla, Hannah, and Anne.
It has been established with certainty that Cormac was considered an Irishman by his fellow citizens of Newbury, Massachusetts. He was not a "freeman" when he arrived at Newbury, and although the record of whom he was indentured to has not been discovered, we do know that in 1678 he took the Oath of Allegiance. On April 18, 1678 Cormac was made a Freeman, with all the duties and privileges that came with that station.

Old things behind me now
I follow the westward sinking sun
It seems to rise for me
Behind me, Ireland, laws I cannot stand,
Land I cannot own, religion I will not follow
Behind me is the eternal darkness
I own a darker future ahead
I reach for the light
I seek adventure,prosperity
and FREEDOM
