Diana, my great-grandmother was Mary Jane (McCullough) McMurtry (b. 1824 in TN/d. 1870 in MO), daughter of Richard P. McCullough and Nancy (Posey) McCullough (b. 1792 in TN). Richard and Nancy were married Dec. 4, 1824 in Rutherford County, TN., any connection to your James Edward McCullough?? I have only one other sibling of Mary Jane's identified as E. McCullough.
