Karen,
Thanks, this is an interesting site. The language used in the record I
found for Cornelius Micormack in 1661 St Mary's Co, MD indicates he was
indentured. He was 20 years old in this record. It's still unknown where
he came from or if he relates to the Cornelius Carmack that we all know
about, born about 1681. It's awfully coincidental that St Mary's County MD
shows someone with the same name who was there 20+ years before our
Cornelius. We do know that the migration from St Mary's County went into
eastern MD (Cecil County) which is where our Cornelius 1st shows up.

Immigrant Servants Database
Nathan W. Murphy, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Utah, accredited
genealogist, and employee of Price and Associates Genealogical Services
(project sponsor), is reconstructing a passenger arrival list of indentured
servants coming to colonial America. According to the website, "More than 75
percent of the colonists who settled south of New England financed their
voyages to the New World as indentured servants, convict servants, and
redemptioners. This project aims to identify all immigrants described by
these terms in American and European sources from 1607 through 1820." To
date, there are approximately 10,000 immigrant servants listed in the
database. That number continues to grow.
