Posted on: Niagara Co. NY Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/NY/Niagara/336 Surname: ------------------------- Dear Sally, Back in 1997 I had some email correspondence with Lon McCullum who descends from Stewart MCCULLUM and although I can't give you a single clue that will help you with your Stewart Lafayette McCullum's relationship, I can only confirm what the census taker recorded in the 1850 census of Town of Porter regarding their youngest son. In the census he shows up as John, age 3 [born ca 1847]. However, at some point in my corresponding with various descendants of the McCollum family, it appears that one of the descendants mentioned Lafayette (versus John) also. But for the life of me I can't find the reference that I used in my scribbled "family tree" in which I have Stewart's name and underneath that I scribbled the name John Lafayette, died MI, and under that I scribbled the name Mary, died MI. I probably can't help you with any further research here in Town of Porter, but I still have some old email addresses of people who are interested in the same line of the MCCOLLUM family. Good luck in your research. Vee L. Housman Youngstown, NY
