Census
1820 census of Montgomery Co., KY, p. 239, line 29, lists:
Will McCormick, 3 m < 10, 1 m 10-15, 1 m 16-18, 5 m 16-25 (i.e., 4 m 19-25), 1 m > 45, 1 f < 10, 1 f 16-25, 1 f 26-45.

1830 census of Montgomery Co., KY, p. 35, line 11, lists:
William McCormick, 1 m < 5, 2 m 5-9, 4 m 15-19, 3 m 20-29, 1 m 50-59, 1 f < 5, 1 f 5-9, 1 f 10-14, 1 f 30-39, 1 f 80-89.

1840 census of Morgan Co., KY, p. 312, line 7, lists:
Wm McCormick, 1 m < 5, 1 m 10-14, 1 m 15-19, 1 m 60-69, 1 f < 5, 1 f 15-19, 1 f 50-59.

(These census readings are the basis of my listing William's birthdate as 1771-1775. The 1820 reading implies a birthdate of 1775 or earlier; the 1830 and 1840 readings imply a birthdate in the range 1771-1780, the overlap is 1771-1775.)

He does not appear in the 1850 census of Morgan or surrounding counties. I do not know whether he died or moved, though.
Notes for Sally McClelland
Possibly a sister of Alexander McClelland whose two daughters Ruth and Jane married two sons (John and Samuel) of William McCormick and Sally McClelland.
