This Cullen was born about 1844. William is a brother to our ancestor, Stephen. Stephen also had a son named Cullen, and my great grandfather, grandson of Stephen, son of George Washington Downing, is also named Cullen. They sure used the same names, again and again, generation after generation! Sure keeps us confused trying to find our ancestors!
