Mc Cormick Family
The McCormick family, of Chicago and Virginia is a famous American industrial, media, real estate, and political family of Scottish descent that attained prominence and fortune starting with the invention of the McCormick Reaper, the machine that revolutionized agriculture and became one of the most recognized brands in the world. The family later went into real estate and media and publishing. During much of the 19th and 20th centuries, they were one of the most powerful and controversial in the United States. As a group, they were perhaps one of the largest philanthropic entities of their time. They are descended from inventor Robert McCormick (1780–1846) and Mary Ann Hall of Steele's Tavern, Virginia.
