With Tishomingo County "on fire", this seems a good time to ask about my James McCullough. He married Samantha Christian in Itawamba County in 1861, and they had a daughter in 1862. Samantha's family lived close to the Tish County line, and perhaps James was from Tishomingo County and they went back there to live after the marriage. In any event, by 1870, Samantha had remarried and was in Illinois with new husband. James either died young (guess his age at 24 when they married) or they divorced. Any help or suggestions greately appreciated. Frank Martin
