Hi Listers, I have been having a hard time with Michael McCullough. He was the son of John McCullough and Bridget Hagen. Here is what I have: Michael was first married to a Mary L. [maiden unknown]. After her death, he married Mary Martha [or Mary Marguerite] Montgomery Platt, the widow of Andrew Lawrence Platt. Andrew did not die until 1914. 1900 Census, Allegheny Township, Cambria County, Pennsylvania (June) ED 99, Sheet 14B, Line 61 McCULLOUGH, Michael, head, Oct 1860, age 39, m/16 yrs, b.

Therefore, all of the children listed in the census would belong to the both of them and this has to be the Mary L.
