Patti - I can take your Cullum line back to Surry Co, VA if you're interested. I descend from William Cullum Sr through son Joel Cullom while your Benton/Porter line descends from him through son William Cullum Jr, older half-brother to Joel. You also descend from the Dickens and Barnes of Halifax Co and Johnstons and Hix/Hicks of Surry Co. I'll be glad to send this if you don't already have it. Cookie
