Sixteenth son of Robert and Rebekah McCord, the family consisting of 18 children. His father moved from Georgia to Tennessee, thence to Illinois in 1816, two years before that territory became a state. Robert McCord, with others of his church, the Presbyterian, formed a settlement at Reno, Illinois, and there raised this remarkable family of 18 children, all of whome became members of the church. It was at Bethel, Bond County, ILlinois, in a church of which his father was one of the first and leading members that Gideon Blackburn McCord and Martha Caroline Alexander were united in marriage on April 27, 1837.

In 1846 he and his wife left the home of his youth in Ill. and moved to the southwestern part of Wisconsin to Platterville, Grant County. After living there 12 years, in 1858 they moved to College Springs, Iowa, where they remained until moving to Kansas and settling in Riley County in 1870.

He was born in 1815, died in 1894, aged 79. His surviving children were: JM McCord of College Springs, Iowa; Mrs MN Peebles of Downs, KS. PH McCord of Riley, KS. and George R McCord of Long Creek, Oregon. (See story of McCords in Healdsburg, Calif) They were the parents of William McCord who married Emma Carver.
