To my knowledge, no relation. However that side of the family has
never been researched very much (at least by any one I know). For
whatever reason, family history always was concentrated on dad's
mother's side. They lived in the same area for over 200 years until
WWII caused virtually all of them to be displaced to build a
military base.<br>
<br>
Regarding my preference for IH, its mainly just old stuff--no real
preference on newer machines. Dad worked for 23 years for the local
IH dealer. Also being knee deep in tobacco country, IH tractors
were everywhere as that is what 99% of the farms used up until the
early/mid 80's.<br>
<br>
If you are ever in the area, go see the Cyrus McCormick historical
site. Its one of those state historic sites that hardly anyone knows
exists. Its self guided tour of 2-3 buildings, lots of models IH
built for a Worlds Fair on display.<br>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">AT list member John Hall has several times voiced a strong preference for antique tractors of the International Harvester brand. We know that CaseIH is a current brand of CNH Industrial, FKA Fiat Industrial. We know that McCormick tractors are a brand of Argo, which also makes Landini tractors.
The inventor of the reaper was Cyrus Hall McCormick, a Virginian. Virginia is adjacent to North Carolina. John Hall tells us he is a North Carolinian. Are they related.
