Dear Donna, Would you mind checking out your resources to see if there were McCulloughs in Cecil County that early? I have documented McCulloughs as of the 1850s (e.g., Jethro, Oliver; their sons and daughters). There is another line of McCulloughs found in Cecil County at that same time (e.g., Haines). They seem to have been there longer than the McCulloughs I can document. However, Haines McCullough wrote a brief family history stating that his father told him that all of the McCulloughs in Cecil County were related -- and since Jethro McCullough was the owner of the McCullough Iron Company, a MAJOR employer and very rich man, Haines would have known about the Jethro and Oliver lines. So, I am wondering if Jethro and Oliver were returning to Cecil County and their McCullough family when they moved to North East from Delaware. Their father was a weaver who lived 5 miles north of Newark on the White Clay Creek -- not so far from North East, Elkton, Colora, and other locations where Jethro's sons and Oliver's older children are found over the years, nor far from Wilmington where Jethro and his wife Elizabeth both died, and where most of Oliver's younger children ended up living. In addition, Oliver's census records list him as being born in PA, and his second marriage is listed as taking place in PA in or near New London. Again, a location very close to Newark, DE, and to North East, MD, where he and his wife Elizbabeth lived until their deaths. (Yes, they both married Elizabeths and their mother was an Elizabeth!) Maybe your references could suggest just how far back I may find myself traveling to find the beginnings of McCulloughs in Cecil County. Of course, if the list is just too long to share with me, don't worry. In that case, perhaps you could just let me know that the McCullough name is plentiful in one or both of your texts so that I could try to get copies of the books to use myself! Thanks for any help you can give me.

Juliann and Lydia McCullough were named as nieces in the will of Hannah Ginna, probated in Cecil Co in 1838. Can anyone identify them? Others named in the will are Eliza Kirk d/o Howell Kirk, Adaline Nickle, d/o William, Ruth Ann Jenkins. Can anyone help? I am trying to establish Hannah Ginna's family. She names Hannah, d/o of Jesse Ginna, who married John Ramsey and moved to Illinois. Therefore, I know that she is of "my" family. She also names Caroline Weir who was the d/o Matthew Weir and his wife Susan (Ginna) d/o John Ginna and Hannah (Reynolds). While looking for help, I am also willing to share what I have on the Ginna, Weir, Reynolds families. Cathy
