I'm off to the courthouse tomorrow for a few land records and wills. There is one will that I've been wanting a copy of for a few years. It's an old one dated 1830. Problem is that it is on microfilm and can't be read on the courthouse microfilm reader. Would this will (actually, it's an administration) be at the Maryland State Archives as well? Thanks so much! Melissa

Hello Melissa, I have NARA's Form 85 in front of me. NATIONAL ARCHIVES ORDER FOR COPIES OF FEDERAL PENSION OR BOUNTY LAND WARRANT APPLICATIONS Full Pension Application File ($37) Pension application files generally are the most useful to those doing genealogical research and contain the most complete information regarding a soldier's career. Pension application files, based on Federal service before WWI usually include an official statement of the veteran's military service, as well as information of a personal nature. This does not include Confederate states until 1959. If your veteran's service was was during the Revolutionary War, bounty-land warrant applications have been consolidated with pension application papers. Pension Documents Packet ($14.75) The pension documents packet will contain, to the extent that these documents are present in the file, 8 documents that contain genealogical information about the pension applicant. Not all of these documents will be found in every file. The package will include any of the following items that are in the file: (1) declaration of pension, (2) declaration of widow's pension, (3 ) Adjutant General statements of service, (4) questionaires completed by the applicants (numbered forms), (5) "Pension Dropped" cards, (6) marriage certificates, (7) death certificates, (8) discharge certificates. http://www.archives.gov/research_room/obtain_copies/veterans_service_records.html#nara http://www.archives.gov/research_room/obtain_copies/military_and_genealogy_order_forms.html#bymail That's it in a nutshell. If you give then a CC#, they will mail the records immediately. If you request to be billed and pay by check, they will hold the records for 45 days. I just sent in my 1st order about 3 weeks ago, (they say it may take up to 120 days for full pension files), and I am getting antsy. Since they all take an average of 60 to 90 days, I didn't want to resubmitt another request, doubling the time, so I went for the Full Pension on the records of my WWI grandfather Best of Luck, Debra Rookard CCM Native and GenExchange County Coordinator, City of Williamsburg http://www.genexchange.org/county.cfm?State=va&County=williamsburg

The pension document packet they select what they feel is important. The full packet contains everything that was in the file.

I'm retired military and all of my files were included in one packet. My guess is it is the same thing under different names.

How interesting to read what you wrote about finding Delaplaine McDaniel's tombstone! Actually, I do not know if there was an intermarriage of the McCullough and McDaniel families. I "bumped" into McDaniel and became aware of him and his relationship to our McCullough family in a manner not unlike your awareness of him! I was searching for McCullough and associated family members' death notices in the Cecil Whig when I found the death notice for Elizabeth McCullough (formerly Tull), wife of Jethro McCullough. Delaplaine McDaniel's notice was there on the same day, and in the notice was a statement that he was the president of the McCullough Iron Co. at the time of his death. Though neither Elizabeth McCullough nor Delaplaine McDaniel lived in Cecil County at the time of their deaths -- and neither had died in Cecil County, they both had had significant influence on the community because of the Iron Company. I don't think McDaniel had ever lived there. The McCulloughs had lived there for many years, most of their children were born and raised there, and they were buried in the North East M.E. Cemetery (now the North East United Methodist Cemetery), North East, Cecil County, MD. I am going to copy some transcriptions I have made of newspaper articles that involve the McCullough Iron Co., McDaniel's death and will probate announcements from the paper, and I may have at least one year from the Wilmington City Directories showing his residence in Wilmington. I believe he was living in Philly when he died. (The newspaper article when I dig it out will tell us for certain.) Because there are so many years between brothers Jethro J. (possibly Johnson) McCullough and Oliver McCullough, I have suspected that there were other children whose existences I have overlooked. There were at least three McCullough families in the Wilmington area. (1) Mine. (2) The family of Bernard McCullough, a tavern owner, is certainly not part of my family since they arrived too late and had parents living in Ireland (as per marriage licenses I found). (3) The family of Peter McCullough, a leather prep and shoe maker, appears to have been in the area as long as my McCulloughs; thus, they may have some collateral connection to my McCulloughs -- or they may not be related at all. There are also McCulloughs living in the same communities as my McCulloughs in Cecil County. My McCulloughs and another group (who may be related?) clearly know each other, but I see little indication from the newspapers that they are related to each other. My McCulloughs tended to be from the Republican political party (held community and state level political offices on occasion), manufacturers in the iron business, and farmers; most were Methodist, though two or three of Jethro's children appear to have married Presbyterians as I find them in Presbyterian graveyards. The other McCullough clan tended to be lawyers and career politicians with the Democratic party -- holding offices at state and federal levels. There is a short McCullough history written by Haines McCullough (one of the Cecil Co. McCulloughs from the other group), however, which reports that one of his ancestors (father?? can't remember at the moment) said that all of the McCulloughs in the community were related to each other. He could not remember how. The Democratic Party McCulloughs were clearly in Cecil Co., MD, when I find my McCulloughs traveling to that county to live -- as near as I can tell, sometime in the late 1840s or early 1850s. I do have one hint of connection that needs further exploration and may confirm or deny family connections between the two Cecil County McCullough groups. One of the other McCullough family members (who have connections to a Haines family) was recently buried in my g-g-g-g-uncle Jethro's family plot at the Methodist cemetery in North East, Cecil Co., MD. The cemetery caretaker with whom I spoke on the telephone but who had died prior to my arranged trip to visit him told me that her family stated that she was part of our family and since there was an empty plot -- they buried her in it. Since my conversation with the now deceased caretaker (over a year), the church has apparently had difficulty getting someone hired to take care of the cemetery, so I still have been unable to find someone who will show me the records they received that convinced them that the Margaret Haines McCullough they buried in our family's plot was kin. If I find that information, I will let you know. If there is any indication of marriages between the McDaniel and McCullough clans I will make certain that we BOTH get to play in the genealogy pool! ______________________________ Would you tell me where the cemetery in which you found McDaniel's tombstone is located? What did the tombstone have on it? And the tombstone next to it -- maybe his sister or daughter, what was inscribed on it? The McDaniel who was Jethro's partner was apparently well-known and definitely very rich. It is possible that an unrelated McDaniel was named after him. On the other hand, given proximity, the right dates, etc., there is a good chance that you have found a connection between the tombstones and a real person whose history should be somewhat easy to track because of his corporate success. And that could make it easy for you to do the backwards kind of genealogy which most experts dis-recommend, that is moving from older generations of a family and trying to match them to your younger, known generations of a family. Nevertheless, sometimes, the backwards approach can work if you are careful not to make assumptions you cannot prove! ____________________ Following are some minor notes I have garnered about McDaniel and the McCullough Iron Co. Obit: The Cecil Whig, Elkton, Cecil Co., MD Transcribed and contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by Cyndie Eckman Saturday, January 24, 1885 North East Items. Mr. Delaplaine McDaniel, late President of the McCullough Iron Co., of this place, and McDaniel & Harvey Co., of Philadelphia, died at his residence in Philadelphia last Wednesday morning. _____ Article about his probate: The Cecil Whig, Elkton: Cecil Co., MD Transcribed and contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by Cyndie Eckman Saturday, March 21, 1885 Delaplaine McDaniel's Will. The will of the late Delaplaine McDaniel was admitted to probate (unreadable) the Orphans' Court last Tuesday. The estate of the deceased, of which the will dis??? is estimated at from one to two millions of dollars. His last will and testament was (unreadable) on the 18th of December, 1881. The ba???? the estate is in stock of the McCullough iron company and the McDaniel & Harvey iron company, of both of which he was president at the time of his death. This was left in trust to the Fidelity Insurance Trust and Safe Deposit Company of Philadelphia, to be used as the will directs. A large portion of the estate goes to his widow, Sarah Anne McDaniel. she is to be paid $15,000 annually during her natural life. The Shady Beach farm, in the Fifth district, which is one of the best improved farms in Cecil county, is also bequeathed to her. The bulk of the rest of the property is to go to his children, Jos. L. McDaniel, Anna Lucy McDaniel and Mary Emma Whitaker, in equal portions. Samuel Delaplaine McDaniel, his grandson, (son of his son of the same name) is bequeathed $50,000, of the income from which $1,200 is to be used yearly for his education and maintenance. The rest of the bequests is to be paid at stated intervals after reaching his majority. To his nephew, Harry C. Clayton, $300 a year is willed until $5,000 has been paid him. To Drew Theological Seminary he bequeaths $10,000, the interest to be used in educating two young men for the ministry. He bequeaths $5,000 to Dickinson college, at Carlisle, Pa., the interest to be used in yearly prizes; $100 to go to each of the two leading men in the freshman class and $100 to the leading man in the sophomore class. He appoints the following executors: Sarah Ann McDaniel, Thomas Baumgardner, Joseph L. McDaniel, Robert N. Simpers, Anna L. McDaniel and Mary E. Whittaker. Articles from the Cecil Whig that mentioned the McCullough Iron Co. (and sometimes Delaplaine McDaniel) follow. Most of these were collected by Cyndie Eckman and e-mailed to me. _____ Cecil Whig Saturday, March 24, 1883 DEATH'S DOINGS . . . . HITCHCOCK. Mrs. Abram Hitchcock died on Friday evening of last week, at her home, at the McCullough Company's Works, near North East, after a brief illness. Deceased was a lady, very highly esteemed in that community, where she had resided for a number of years. Her remains were interred at the North East Cemetery, on Sunday last. _____ Cecil Whig Saturday, February 16, 1884 DIED . . . . - Mr. George McKinsey, driver of one of the McCullough Iron Company's teams, between West Amwell mills and this town, died at his home at the mills on Saturday last, after a brief illness of pneumonia. Mr. McKinsey was a native of this county. His mother resides in this town and his brother John manages a farm belonging to Delaplaine McDaniel near North East. He leaves a widow and four young children. Deceased was a large muscular man, unusually vigorous and healthy, yet this disease laid him low in the short space of six days. He was taken sick on Sunday and died on the following Saturday. He was an upright and honest man, and had many warm friends among his numerous acquaintances. His remains were interred in the Elkton Cemetery on Monday afternoon. Rev. Mr. Sheppard of the M. E. Church officiating. The funeral was very largely attended. _____ Cecil Whig Saturday, July 19, 1884 Death of William Scotten. William Scotten for many years manager of the McCullough companies iron works at North East in this county, died on Tuesday last at the residence of his son- in-law Israel Dean at North East in the 69th year of his age. He was born on November 18, 1815, in Lancaster Co., Pa. Mr. Scotten had been a sufferer for a long time, from a complication of diseases. He has resided at Louisville, Chester county, Pennsylvania for a few years past, and a short time ago, it was thought that a change of scene would be a benefit to him, and notwithstanding the fact of his extreme weak condition, he was removed to the home of Mr. Dean at North East. Contrary to expectation the ride instead of prostrating him seemed to do him good, and he rallied to such an extent afterwards that hopes of his recovery were entertained, but they were not to be realized as he soon afterwards grew worse and has never since been able to bear up under the return journey home. Mr. Scotten was well known throughout Cecil as an earnest advocate of the cause of temperance, and it was through his efforts that the first local prohibition law for the town of North East was passed. He was an active and consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal church, a man of sterling worth, firm in defence of the right and ever active in good deeds. He had amassed quite a fortune of which he gave liberally to the church, both to that of North East and Cherry Hill. He was married a few years ago the second time, to a Louisville lady and since then has made that town his home. His funeral took place yesterday. Leaving the house of Mr. Dean at North East about 10.30 a. m., and the service was held in Cherry Hill M. E. church at two p.m. The remains were deposited in the cemetery attached to the church by the side of his first wife. _____ Cecil Whig Saturday, March 27, 1886 The works of the McCullough Iron Company, at North East were shut down on Monday evening on account of inability to secure a supply of coal owing to strikes at the mines. The closing of the works at North East necessitated the stopage of the rolling mills of the company at Westamwell which are supplied by the North East works. _____ Cecil Whig Saturday, April 3, 1886 The works of the McCullough Iron Company at North East, which were shut down last week, owing to inability to secure a supply of coal, resumed operations on Monday morning. _____ Cecil Whig Saturday, June 5, 1886 Howard Burke, aged 23 years, who recently accidentally shot and killed himself with a pistol at Upland, Pa., was a son of Henry Burke, an employee of the McCullough Iron Co., at North East. _____ Cecil Whig Saturday, August 21, 1886 North East Siftings. North East, Md., August 20th, 1886 THE STRIKE The "strike" still continues at the rolling mill. Tuesday afternoon the company "paid off," all were discharged. Each envelope contained the following words written on the outside, "Your services are no longer required, McCullough Iron Co." They have been offered the advance demanded in bar and sheet mills, but will not yield until the raise be made "all along the line." _____ Cecil Whig Saturday, August 28, 1886 North East Siftings. THE STRIKE NOT ENDED YET The report in two mid week county papers that the strike at the McCullough Iron Company's works had been declared off and that the hands had returned to work on Tuesday, we are sorry to be compelled to deny. The manner in which the report became current was as follows: The company agreed some days ago to take the men back at the rates demanded excepting in case of the forgemen whose wages were refused to advance. The men were rather tardy about accepting the terms but did so at last. Preparations were made for starting of the mills on Tuesday. The managers of the company put a stop to this, however, by sending orders on Monday afternoon not to resume operations. _____ Cecil Whig Saturday, September 11, 1886 The Strike at North East. At a meeting of the local Knights of Labor organization in North East on Saturday night last it was agreed to accept the terms offered by the McCullough Iron Company to the strikers a few days after they went out. These were that all the employees should have the increase of from 8 to 10 per cent demanded excepting the forgemen who are about 50 in number. The works had been closed for about a month at a great loss to both employees and employers. The close of the strike was hailed with great satisfaction by the 180 employees and the other citizens of the town. Half of the workmen went on duty on Monday morning last and it was expected that the works would be in full operations in a few days. On Wednesday afternoon, however, about 5 o'clock, those of the men who were at work quit and left the mills. The men were dissatisfied because they were not all given work immediately. and claim that the leaders of the Knights of Labor were discriminated against. The knights of Labor held a special meeting on Wednesday night at which it is said to have been decided by a unanimous vote to continue the strike. _____ Cecil Whig Saturday, November 27, 1886 The Strike Ended. It gives us great pleasure to publish the fact that the long strike at the McCullough Iron Company's works at North East has at last been declared off. President Harvey and other officials of the company visited North East on Tuesday last, and after a short conference with a committee of the striking operatives a settlement of the trouble was made. The company agreed to give Wilmington wages and to employ all the old hands that apply for work regardless of their being Knights of Labor. The works will be started on Monday next. Many of the workmen have obtained employment at other iron works, but it is thought that many of them will return to North East to work. The strike had been in operation seventeen weeks. _____ Cecil Whig Saturday, April 9, 1887 Mr. Joseph P. Culleny, who had for a number of years been employed in the McCullough Iron Company's Mills, at Westamwell, died on Friday last from pneumonia. Mr. Culleny had been ill but a few days, having been at work on Monday. He was forty-four years old, and leaves two children, a daughter and son. The former is about fifteen and the latter about ten years old. His wife died several years since when he resided in this town. He was the son of Mr. James Culleny of Westamwell, and had been for years a consistant member of the Elkton M. E. church. His funeral took place on Monday afternoon, and the interment was at the Elkton cemetery. _____ The Cecil Whig, Elkton: Cecil Co., MD Transcribed and contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by Cyndie Eckman Saturday, September 8, 1888 DIED. WEIDNER. – Died at his home near North East in this county on August 22d, 1888, Reuben A. Weidner IN MEMORIAM. Mr. Weidner at the time of his death was employed as manager of the McCullough Iron Company's farms in Elk Neck. He was a man very highly esteemed, and leaves a widow and five children-three girls and two boys. Annie married A. D. Levan a liveryman of Reading, Pa., Ella married C. B. Cleaver a dealer in cattle of Pleasantville, Pa., and another daughter Amanda is the wife of C. H. Holt a farmer of Elk Neck. Edward B. Weidner is a cigar manufacturer in Reading, Pa., and Wm., A., who assumes control of the farms named above. He was confined to his bed one week, but was somewhat indisposed for three weeks. Dr. P. H. Housekeeper of North East did all he could for the afflicted man, but it availed nothing. Deceased was a native of Berks county, Pa., came to Cecil in 1867 and settled in Elk Neck where he lived until March 25th ult., when he took charge of the Company's farms. He was in his 57th year. His remains were conveyed by railroad to Pleasantville, Pa., where he rests in the Lutheran reformed cemetery. The funeral took place August 25th ans was largely attended. _____ I cannot find my notes from the Wilmington City Directory at the moment. I do know, however, that McDaniel was listed in the directory at least one year. _____ I do hope that some of this information is helpful to you. I would like you to keep in touch if you find that you are connected to any of the McCullough lines in the continguous DE/MD/PA region. (And if anyone else out there is doing research on any of these folks and would like to join in the attempt to isolate the various McCullough family groups -- or connect them if that is possible! -- please get in touch with me!)

Donna-- Please pardon the intrusion. I notice that you referenced "The Inhabitants of Cecil County" by Henry PEDEN in your E mail. I am researching the Rene JULIEN/JULIAN and Mary Margaret BULLOCK families from Bohemia Manor in Cecil County, MD., c. 1700 to 1740. Their son, Isaac was born 30 NOV 1716 in Annapolis, Cecil Co., MD, and his birth was supposedly documented in St Ann's Parish. He died 08 JUL 1778 in Randolph Co., NC. Moving further along, Stephen JULIEN and Steven JULIEN were noted in PEDEN's book as members of the Foot Company under the command of Capt. Peter Bayard in 1740, pp 52, 53. They are brother and nephew of Isaac. Do you have any additional information on the JULIEN/ BULLOCK families which could be shared? Thank you.

I am seeking information on a child born to CLARA GUSBERG in Connecticut sometime in the few years immediately prior to 1919 when CLARA gave birth to a son on Sept. 19. His birth certificate says 2nd child of this mother, both living. Clara married SAMUEL EDWARD COLE in Aug. 17, 1917 in Hartford, CT. but in 1918 lived at 48 No.Chapel St., in Newark, DE. By the 1920 census Clara was living with her infant son in Simsbury, CT. with the Psaty family and apparently separated from Mr. Cole. The CT. Dept. of Vital Records refuses to provide any info on this half-sibling of mine and all others in the family who might have been able to are deceased. Clara was born in Newark, N.J. in 1896 and lived at various times in Delaware and Rhode Island. If anyone can provide information on this birth please e-mail me personally. Thank you. [email protected]

Searching for a photo of my mother's first husband: SAMUEL EDWARD COLE (or Edward Samuel) Cole. He was born in Cherry Hill (Cecil CO.), Maryland in 1865. He married CLARA GUSBERG in Aug. 17, 1917 in Hartford, CT. In June 1918 they were living at 48 No. Chapel St., in Newark, Delaware. In Sept, 1919 they had a child born in Hartford, CT. but by 1920 they apparently were separated as Clara was living with her infant son in Simsbury, CT. The Coles were paper mill workers and Mr. Cole was well known in Delaware, W. Chester, and Coatesville, Pa. He was an officer in the Knights of Pythias, the Freemasons and a volunteer fireman in Newark, DE. Mr. Cole died in 1940 while living with his sister Ida (Mrs. Wm. Morrison) at 28 Choate, St., in Newark, DE. He is buried in the family plot in Cherry Hill, MD. in the Methodist Church Cemetery. His parents were: James & Mary Elizabeth (nee Drennen) Cole. Clara Cole-McCue died in Newark, N.J. in 1944 Reply to: [email protected] May 16, 2003

Dear Mary Alice, I'm trying to write up my branch of the Reynolds family, before sending all my notes to my niece in Michigan. I was rereadingthis letter of you and you mention a friend, Eugenia Cloud, who descends from Jesse. One of my BIG problems is John Ginna who married Hannah Reynolds, d/o Jacob, s/o Henry Jr. etc. This Jesse married a Mary Guinea and I have reason to suspect that she is the sister or aunt of my John Ginna. Could you ask your friend if she has any information on this family?

Hi, If you contact Cecil County Historical Society(look at their web site) ask for any information on Christinann Bristow. You may tell them that one person had a copy of "The Bristow Family, Cecil County Maryland chart which is believed to have come from the family file. They may have more information on your line than just the chart. Otherwise I would offer to sent you a copy of this chart, but I only have a chart. NO DOCUMENTATION. I have not tried to find any proof of this family, however it may give you and others a place to start. In the mean time this chart has a date of August 1974 and is by Mr. Andrew Bristow of Bel Air, Maryland. He gives ChristinAnn Bristow as the daughter of John and Susanna Hurkill Bristow(m 14 Jul 1792) and sister to; John, Lewis(who married Elizabeth Bostick[I have found a date for this marriage of 25 Oct 1825]); William Bristow who married 1st Charlotte Armstrong, 2nd Ann Groves,3rd Martha Arrants; Sampson; Richard who married Ann Robinson (date I found 31 Dec 1817)(which has my step-line); Araminta who married Willaim Robinson; Makiha who married James Arrants. The chart goes on to give the children for Richard and Ann Robinson Bristow, William and Charlotte Armstrong Bristow, William and Martha Arrants and Lewis and Elizabeth Bostick Bristow. Hope you find the documentation for your line.

Your Andrew Jackson McCullough (b. Feb. 25, 1830; d. ?) who married Elizabeth Bristow (b. ?; d. ?) on March 3, 1852, Cecil Co., MD, was one of twelve children; he had seven full-blooded siblings (parents: Oliver McCullough and Elizabeth -- maiden name may have been Leader) and four half siblings by Oliver's first wife who I have not yet ferreted out. His four older half-siblings were: Catherin Ann McCullough, b. 1822 Enoch Lewis McCullough, b. 1823, married Rebecca Foster Lavinia McCullough, b. 1825 Susan Ann McCullough, b. 1827 Then came Andrew Jackson McCullough (seems to have been called Jackson) His seven younger full siblings were: Elizabeth McCullough, b. 1832, married John Buckley Jethro J. McCullough, b. 1834, married Sarah Naile William H. McCullough, b. 1836, married Ann Ellena Cloud (my g-g-grandparents) Hannah Mary McCullough, b. 1838, married George Wilson ?Ann McCullough, but maybe Ann was nickname for Hannah, b. 1837-38 Oliver J. McCullough, b. 1842 Winfield Scott McCullough, b. 1846, married Nancy Adair McDowell Andrew Jackson and Elizabeth (Bristow) McCullough had at least three children: They are buried in a plot owned by J.J. McCullough (Jethro J. McCullough, Andrew's uncle). The children are: (1) Andrew J. McCullough, d. Dec. 3, 18__; age 38 years, 10 months. (Can't read year on tombstone.) (2) Eugenia McCullough, b. Mar. 1859; d. June 11, 1859. (3) Rudolph McCullough, b. Mar. 1859; d. Oct. 31, 1860. Want to exchange additional information?

Karen, I have not seen the spelling of Still used with this family. I have seen Steel as well as Steele though. Helen Smith

HI, I have a Bistow Family Chart for the Cecil County Historical Society's family file. It has Richard Bristow who married Ann Robinson (31 Dec 1817 my note)having a daughter Elizabeth who married Andrew jackson McCullough. But it stops there. Elizabeth was the younger sister to my step-great great grand dad who was born 1827 in Cecil County, MD. I give you the years that I know so you(or any lister) can see if your line would have fit into this line.

Cathy: I can't be much help but sometimes any snippet is worthwhile ... so, I can identify Howell KIRK I believe. Howell was b 4 Dec 1797 and was the son of William and Elizabeth Howell KIRK. He married 10 Jun 1822 Lydia HARRIS whose parents I do not know. The only child I know for Howell and Lydia is Theodore b 30 Jan 1826. Howell is listed to me as my '4th cousin 4 times removed' through my KIRK lineage...not exactly 'kissing cousins!' ...Candy :) > [Original Message] > From: Cathy Berger <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Date: 5/1/2003 11:34:53 AM > Subject: [MDCECIL] McCullough > > Juliann and Lydia McCullough were named as nieces in the will of Hannah > Ginna, probated in Cecil Co in 1838.
