About John McCullough's Families
My paternal grandfather, George Robert McCullough was the first of our Irish
McCullough family born in America after immigrating in the early 1850's. My paternal
grandmother Nellie Rebecca Mace traces her ancestry back to late 17th century when
the families came from Scotland, Ireland and England to the English colonies of
Pennsylvania,Connecticut, Massachusetts and Maryland.
On the other side, my maternal grandfather, Wroightsley/William Clifton White (Did he
really have a name like that?) has solid roots in the American soil going back to
early 1700's in Virginia and North Carolina. My maternal grandmother, Emma
Mueller,was the first of our Mueller family born in the United States after her
father,Gustav, and grandfather, August, immigrated from Wurttemburg, Germany in 1848.
So,half of the paternal and maternal sides are fairly recent immigrants (three
generations each in America), while the other half of both sides (paternal: seven,and
maternal: nine generations) contributed early to the development of the United
States,offering many patriots who participated in the Revolutionary War and before.
Note: You may see some very old ancestors listed as "Living." This is a flaw in the
TribalPages (TP) software when a birth date is not listed, eventhough the event
occurred 100+ years ago. Without either a birth or death date, TP cannot comprehend
who might still be alive, eventhough my program says they are not. I've no control
over this flaw. I'm working to insert a fix in my data to this correct this problem.
