Responding to my request, Vince was kind enough to look up the information about Doctor Thomas F. Cullen. I would be delighted to hear from anyone with an interest in, or information about, this family, which included Thomas and his wife Elizabeth, and daughters Elizabeth R. Cullen and Margaret Rutherford Cullen (who married actor Herman Charles Dexheimer in 1886, later known as Charles D. Herman). Also associated with the family were Lavinia Stout (born about 1850, married Henry B. Simmons) and druggist Gustavus Stout (born about 1847), children from, I believe, an earlier marriage of Thomas Cullen's wife Elizabeth.
