Are you talking about the Cyrus McCormick Farm in Raphine, VA?  Or
another one?

Subject: Re: [VA-HIST] Cyrus McCormick more than a tinkerer?

Hello all,

I am trying to follow an oral lead that pointed to Cyrus McCormick,
around 1833-34, in the Roanoke Valley area and designing and undertaking
an addition and renovation of a home. Has anybody gotten any information
(other than probably helping his own dad build their home in 1822, while
a
teenager) about Cyrus as a builder?

My tip came from an old lady who said a grandson of Cyrus visited her
home here in Roanoke around the mid 1940's and told her that his
grandfather Cyrus McCormick had renovated and added to it. There are a
few other things that click in place there so, I don't want to dismiss
it without proper research but it is hard to find Cyrus's whereabouts
right around that time.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
