    1. Re: [MDCECIL] Iron companies in New Castle Co.
    2. Darlene McFalls
    3. Karen, In the book, "Backroading through Cecil County, Maryland", there is a sketch of the McCullough Iron Mill. It was on site in Rowlandsville, Md., in 1795, and bought by McCullough Iron Co., in 1859. They made sheet iron. It was destroyed by fire . In the local "Herald" paper, there is a section, "100 years ago", I have also seen it mentioned there. I have also noticed it in the old newspapers at Elkton Historical Society. I hope this helps. darlene ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, June 13, 2003 9:43 AM Subject: [MDCECIL] Iron companies in New Castle Co. > Can anyone tell me if Jethro Mccullough or the McCullough Iron Company is > mentioned in Scharf's History of Delaware? > > Some notes in the Historical Society of Cecil County state that Jethro > McCullough lived and worked with his father (weaver, Enoch McCullough, lived in > White Clay Creek about 4 miles north of Newark) until he was seventeen when his > father died (1827). > > After the death of his father, he began to work in "millwright trade."

    1. [MDCECIL] Iron companies in New Castle Co.
    2. Can anyone tell me if Jethro Mccullough or the McCullough Iron Company is mentioned in Scharf's History of Delaware? Some notes in the Historical Society of Cecil County state that Jethro McCullough lived and worked with his father (weaver, Enoch McCullough, lived in White Clay Creek about 4 miles north of Newark) until he was seventeen when his father died (1827). After the death of his father, he began to work in "millwright trade." In 1842, he was reported to have become a partner with the MARSHALL BROTHERS who owned a small iron mill near Stanton, and reportedly stayed with that company until 1847 when he purchased an iron forge in nearby North East, Cecil Co., MD. In 1853, the note reports he bought Westhamwell Mills near Elkton and additional property near North East on which he built Shannon Mill. The same year, the report claims, he introduce galvanized steel to the U.S. In 1865 he formed the McCullough Iron Company. It was a major employer and contributor to the iron industry until the 1890s. The (undocumented) note reports finally that the company was in business until 1898. I have read that McCullough bought the properties that were the Principio Mills prior to the Revolutionary War. Again, I have found no documentation of this claim either. The McCullough Iron Company was definitely incorporated in MD in 1865 -- I've read the MD legislative record where the incorporation was effected. The company was reported to have been incorporated in DE as well, but I have not yet located any records to support that claim. The company went into receivership in 1892 according to a calendar published by the Historical Society of Cecil County (http://cchistory.org/almjanmar.htm). Judging by entries in many years of the Wilmington City Directory, the McCullough Iron Company had a significant presence in New Castle Co. for about 30 years as an employer. Their ads in the directories list offices in Philadelphia and Wilmington as well as in North East, MD. Can anyone suggest where I might begin to look for histories or documents that could provide me with a more reliable history of this company and its relationships to other iron companies in the region than the undocumented notes I found in a folder at the Historical Society of Cecil Co.? I have no reason to doubt the information since I can see from the Wilmington City Directories that the company existed and was a notable employer in the city -- and I also found one of his partner's obits (Delaplaine McDaniel) and a newspaper article about the settling his estate which showed McDaniel to be a multi-millionaire iron mogul in 1885 when he died showing the company was profitable! However, I would like to locate better evidence! Any suggestions would be greatly welcomed!

    1. [MDCECIL] Norris family - early marriages to McCullough family?
    2. Dear Jeann(ette?), I saw your helpful note to a fellow lister to help them think about ways to track their Quaker families. I am side-tracked by your reference to your Norris family. I have McCulloughs I have traced back, so far, to my g-g-g-g-grandparents (Enoch and Elizabeth McCullough) for whom I have no dates. My g-g-g-grandfather (Oliver McCullough) was born in PA in 1798 so Enoch was in the U.S. by then. A very brief family history written by one of my great aunts (Ellena P. McCullough) -- a history with many facts that have been supported by documentation and a few really big errors -- states that the first McCullough to come to the U.S. (or the U.S.-to-be) was named Norris McCullough. So far, I have found no such person. However, Oliver's oldest son by his first marriage did name his youngest son Norris. My great-aunt did not know about this half-cousin since one of her errors makes it clear she did not know who Oliver was. Therefore, she could not have been influenced in her assertion about an ancestor named Norris by the known existence of a cousin named Norris. Over time I have become frustrated trying to move back further in my family tree than Enoch and have speculated on the possibilities. As you might have guessed already, it has occurred to me that one of my McCulloughs could have married a Norris and named a child Norris McCullough. Perhaps this happened in the U.S., in Scotland (where our family history note says the McCulloughs came from), or even in Ireland (which the spelling of the family name suggests the family stopped for at least a generation or two before heading overseas). If there was a late 1700 (or earlier) marriage in the U.S. (Enoch's grandfather, perhaps?) that produced a child named Norris McCullough, perhaps your Norris family history might provide some clues. The McCulloughs I have located back to the birth of Enoch's son Oliver puts them in Chester Co., PA; Cecil Co., MD; and New Castle Co., DE. While finding the family in three counties might suggest they moved quite long distances, this MAY not be the case since the known places that this family lived between 1798 through the next hundred years were very close together: North East, MD; Colora, MD (where the Nottingham Presbyterian Church is located); Newark, DE (where Enoch was a weaver at least from 1810 until 1827); New London, PA (which is just about where the three counties almost converge just west of Newark). After the 1850s, Wilmington, DE, was added to the known family locations -- though they certainly may have had family members there earlier. Also, though they may have been Presbyterians earlier in the family history, by the 1850s, most seem to have been Methodists. Several McCulloughs married into Quaker or formerly Quaker families, including Cloud, Walton, Pyle, Carter, and Mercer families. The original family history note and oral history of the family seems to place the first McCulloughs in eastern PA on "a large farm," possibly in Lancaster Co. or Bucks Co., but that "clue" is really quite tenuous. Given the known locations of later family, Chester Co. (which included Delaware Co.) should not be eliminated from the possible home location! We really have no idea what part of PA the McCulloughs lived in prior to Enoch's appearance in Newark, DE. Does any of this ring any bells for you? (even a little tinkle?) Could you possibly come up with any speculations for what members of our families might have intersected to produce the child named Norris McCullough? Or ideas for where they might have lived? Any clues will be gratefully embraced! Karen Carter Minneapolis, MN

    1. Re: [MDCECIL] Re: "Records of West Nottingham Church-Academy, Ministers, and ...
    2. My MAJOR(S) line apparently came from Ireland, probably with the McLEAN and PAISLEY families about 1736-37 and settled northwest of Philadelphia either along or near the Schuykill River area and the area which became Cecil Co. The book "Tennessee Bible Records and Marriage Bonds" notes that Margaret McLean was connected to the William Paisley family, originally from Ulster, Ireland. William came to America about 1736-37, landing at Philadelphia, and his first wife was Eleanor McLean, sister to Margaret McLean. Later, Margaret McLean married Thomas Majors, probably in or near Cecil County, MD, (then Pennsylvania?) and the family moved (I believe with the Nottingham group) to what later became Guilford Co., NC. Thomas Majors is buried in the Alamance Cemetery in Greensboro, NC, and records indicate that he was born 1707 and died 1789. Margaret (McLean) Majors is listed in the same cemetery as born 1715 and died 1779. Margaret (McLean) Majors and Thomas Majors had a daughter, Margaret. She married her cousin, Robert Paisley, son of William Paisley, while the family was still in Pennsylvania/Maryland. A Will for Thomas Major (husband of Margaret McLean) notes that he leaves "to my beloved grandson Thomas Peasley, the sum of ten pounds.....and to my grand daughter Elenor Johnson Peasley, the sum of twenty pounds." It also states "I constitute and appoint my two sons by law (sons in law) Robert Peasley and George Stuart to be Executors....and appoint Col. John Peasley and Marshall McLane (McLean?) to put or cause to be put the above bequeathed money out to aforesaid...before the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety." From this will information, I surmise that Thomas Major(s) and Margaret (McLean) Majors had a daughter Margaret (married to Robert Peasley) and another daughter (married to George Stuart), but his will doesn't mention any sons. Because of other records, I believe my Thomas Majors could also be a son of this Thomas and Margaret (McLean) Majors. My Thomas Majors owned land in Guilford Co., granted to him (perhaps as part of the Nottingham group?), which he later sold after moving to Montgomery and Wythe Co., VA. The land record dated 10 Oct 1787 states "Thomas Majers of Montgomery Co., Virginia, to John Hignut of Guilford Co., North Carolina. Land on South Buffalo, adj Edward Ryan, containing 400 acres, being the tract that Majers obtained from the State of North Carolina. Signed: Thomas Majers, Ann Majers. Wit. Robert Majers, William Sillaven (Sullivan?)." My Thomas Majors married a woman named Anne (maiden name unknown to me), and they had a son Robert (named after Thomas' brother-in-law Robert Paisley?) and a second son named Samuel Majors. Robert married a woman named Milly (maiden name unknown to me), and my Thomas and these two sons appear in tax records starting in 1782 in Captain Love's militia list of residents of Montgomery Co. I'm open to any suggestions to validate this or to any help in finding records in Cecil Co., MD, for marriages, etc. of the MAJOR(S) or PEASLEY (PAISLEY) and McLEAN family members. Kind regards, Mona Sarratt Knight

    1. [MDCECIL] Re: "Records of West Nottingham Church-Academy, Ministers, and Alumni, 1748-1762
    2. Hi Mona, I am happy to see I am not the only one working the impossible problem. I am trying to locate the parents of my ancestor John Kelly, b.c.1765, probably in the Cecil Co.,Md area. John was living in Guilford Co.,NC in 1782 in the area of Moon's Creek a branch of Reedy Fork Creek. There were many of the members of Buffalo Presbyterian Church living in this area. As you know the "Nottingham Company", of Chester Co.,Pa. purchased the Nottingham Lots in Guilford Co.,NC to establish Presbyterianism in NC. Somewhere in my research I determined the original purchasers of the Nottingham Lots in Guilford Co.,NC. I will look for my Notes. Do you have the book on the "Buffalo Presbyterian Church"? I remember Paisleys as members of the Church. To answer your question relative to Records of the "West Nottingham Church", in Colora, Maryland, I found that The LDS has microfilmed a 7 page document which lists the Ministers since 1724, along with the more prosperous Alumni. I did not see any of the Surnames you mentioned in my notes from the film. The film number is 0908962, Item 2. A book I also found very helpful is,"A History of Cecil Co.,Md., and the Early Settlers around the head of Chesepeake Bay with Sketches of Families of Cecil Co.", by George Johnston, pub. 1881, Reprint 1967. This book is Item 11, on MF1321387. On p.155 it notes that "many Scotch-Irish became residents of the original Nottingham Grant (to the Quakers), the Ewings, Moores, Evanses, Pattons, Maxwells and many others whose descendants are now members of the West Nottingham Pres. Church". I would be interested in knowing where and when your Majors and Paisleys settled in Anson and Rowan Co.,NC.
