In the states by 1840 (according to the 1900 census) McDermott resided with his widowed mother Margaret and siblings (mostly
tailors and milliners) at 2113 Chestnut Street in Center City (Ward 9) by 1860. The family later resided within Ward 9 at
1233 Chestnut Street, where McDermott remained until 1891. He then relocated to 126 South Eleventh Street, where he lived
until 1893. By the end of the 1890s he had held several different jobs, including salesman, letter carrier, and compositor
and lived at 1705 Christian Street (Ward 30) with his older brother Michael (b. ca. 1834). McDermott returned to lithography
in the early to mid 1900s, but was unlisted in city directories after 1907.
