William was born the son of Cornelius Carmack and Guein Corem in Cecil/Kent County Maryland.

He married Mary Jane McDaniel ca1732 in what would become Frederick County Maryland in 1748, where his parents had removed. The elder Carmack settled a large plantation near what became the village of Libertytown.

"On 20 May 1739 Arnold Livers had the property 'Lubberland' surveyed, near where the village of Johnsville now stands and had assigned its 99 acres to William Carmack."

HISTORICAL NOTE:
Frederick County was created in 1748 from portions of Prince George's 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 area, the family settled where Libertytown stands today. On November 27, 1742, thirty years before the town was 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."

"William Carmack (1716-1776), the other neighbor who helped prepare the inventory [of Joseph Sparks], was a son of Cornelius Carmack who had died in 1748, just a year before Joseph Sparks's death. This family had come to Frederick County from Cecil County, Maryland, prior to 1742. William Carmack's wife's name was Jane. They were living where the town of Liberty now stands when he helped prepare the inventory of Joseph Sparks's property in 1749."
