I and my cousins have done extensive research on our McCullough line. We believe they arrived in the US from Ulster Ireland sometime in the early 1700's and settled near Philadelphia but have not found the documentation to verify this. That said what we do know is that they were Scotch Irish. A will for James McCulloch was found in 1758 Will book A p 113 in Rowan County Courthouse. I went there and copied it. He had the following known children from the will. John, William, Samuel and Alexander and a grandson Mathew. His wife is listed as Elizabeth but it is not proven that she was the mother of these children. The book Carolina Cradle does name James and sons John and Alexander on page 69 as living in Fallowfield township Chester County in 1739 or 1740 (tax list) and that James went to NC sometime after 1747 The land records for North Carolina state that James McCulloch together with his sons John and Alexander obtained land between George Davidson ( this is the plantation mention in the will of James) and the Catawba River but it is said that John may never have lived on the land. There is a suggestion that John may have married to a Jane possibly in Pennsylvania as his only daughter was named Jane, again it cannot be proven. I descend from John who died somewhere about 1766 when his children were bound out. These four children are John, William, James and Jane. The three boys all fought in the RW and it is said that William died at Brandywine. James was an Indian spy in Kentucky and we have his pension file and a copy of the book James McCullough Kentucky Pioneer by mabel e maxcy and jimmie d mcsween. John married Constant Jones in Kentucky, and sold his land to Jeremiah Salyers. He was in the continental line and served the entire war although his pension only proves 3 years. We have his pension records for his wife. He died in 1823 in Indiana. His sister Jane was apprenticed to Elizabeth Cathey widow and she married Jeremiah Salyers ?Sellers on the marriage transcript and second John May who also may have been in North Carolina. William was bound to Arter Erwy and then Geo Marshall. John was bound to John Johnson then to Wm Bonnor. And James was bound to James Smiley. These McCullough's were here before the Catholic Irish McCullough's arrived. They were Presbyterians. We do not believe at this time that they were directly related to Henry Eustace McCulloch the land baron of North Carolina. We do not believe we are related to the Ohio McCullough and know we are not related to the Irish McCulloughs. Many of the names that are coming through the look up list that Jan has done can be found in the book Carolina Cradle. It is an excellent resource for early North Carolina settlers. My questions are where are James and Elizabeth buried and when did she die. Who did Alexander marry,was she a Cathey as I suspect and when did he die? Why did he not take John's children? And although it is reported that James father was Samuel I have no proof. And last how do you find the court records when the children were released from the bounds? I bet I need to make another trip to the courthouse.
