Cornelius was born the son of either Christopher or John Carmack [unverified] and unknown mother in [some sources say Scotland, others Maryland].
He married Guein [Gwin] Corem in 1701 in Maryland, and had two children in Cecil/Kent County, and the balance of them in what would become Frederick County. The family plantation was near present day Libertytown. When Cornelius and Guin settled their land, they were on the edge of white civilization, with only Indian and animal trails--no towns, only settlements and pioneers.
HISTORICAL NOTE:
Frederick County was created in 1748 from portions of Prince George County.

"The most active members of the Upper Linganore settlement were the families of Cornelius Carmack (1681-1748) and his son William Carmack (1716-1776). They had come from Cecil County to the Linganore area after 1733, for on July 2, 1733 William and his wife Jane baptized their daughter Sarah in Cecil County. Once in the Monocacy [river] area, the family settled where Libertytown stands today. On November 27, 1742, thirty years before the town first laid out, both father and son purchased land there on a parcel known as ‘Duke's Woods' Cornelius Carmack acquired 52 ¼ acres and William Carmack 50 acres, each for a price of 15 pounds, 15 shillings."

Cornelius' Will:
"In the name of God Amen this thirteenth day of May Anno Domino one thousand seven hundred forty six, I, Cornelius Carmack of Monocacy in Prince Georges County and Providence of Maryland, planter; being sick in body but of good memory thanks be to Almighty God and calling to remembrance, the uncertainty of the life, and all flesh must Yield unto death when it shall please God to call, do make, constitute, ordain and declare this to be my last will and testament in manner and form following, revolking, disnulling, and disclaiming all and every will and wills heretofore by me made and this to be taken only for my last will and testament and none other.
And first I give and commit my soul into the hands of Almighty God my Savior and Redeemer and my body to be decently buried at the discretion of my Executor here after named.
And now for the settling of my improved Estate, goods, credits and chattles as it hath pleased God my Savior and Redeemer to bestow upon me do devise, give, and dispose of the same in manner and form, that is to say first I will that all my debts, duties, and credits as I owe right or concur to any person or persons whatsoever shall be paid after my decease by my trusting and well beloved son William Carmack of the place aforesaid, whom I constitute as my sole executor of my last will and testament.
Item: I will bequeath to my beloved wife Gwin Carmack, the sum of five shillings currency besides what the Law allows her.
Item: I will and bequeath unto my son John, a bed, two sheets, two pillows, two blankets and covers over and above his share.
Item: I give and bequeath to my daughter Mary Corem one shilling sterling currency.
Item: I give and bequeath to my daughter Elizabeth Evans one shilling sterling currency.
I will that my Executor equally divide the rest of my effects equally between my four children, namely, William Carmack, Mary Richards, John Carmack, Catherine Richards, and in testimony here of I have set my hand and seal the day and year above written."
Cornelius Carmack (seal)
Tests as present: John justice, John Gregg, Stephen Richards.
Will was probated Nov. 14, 1749 in Frederick Maryland."
BURIAL NOTE: In the time Cornelius passed most people were being buried in family plots on their own property, many such plots plowed under and lost. I am guessing this is the situation with Cornelius, his wife, and some of their children.
RELATIONAL NOTE: My direct ancestor was Edward Richards whose original land became Hampstead MD. Three of his sons, Matthew, Daniel, and Stephen married three of Cornelius' daughters. Benjamin was the older brother of the three Richards sons mentioned above from whom I descended. I feel an affinity with the Carmack family for that reason.
