INTRODUCTION: As discussed in "The McCullys of Maritime Canada" there were three families of McCULLYs in Nova Scotia before 1790. The first three generations of one of those families, which for clarity's sake we call "Samuel of Londonderry," are described on previous pages. This page covers the fourth generation. The numbered citations are given on a separate page. I will post information on later generations, and probably eventually on the other two families, as I get the manuscripts completed.

Some of the families associated with this fourth generation of McCULLY are: COSHOW, CRANE, CREIGHTON, CROASMAN, DUNBAR, GAILEY, GILBERT, HENDERSHOTT, HURD, LISTER, LOVE, LUTES, MAXSON, MERRITT, STEEVES, and WATERS. Principal locations are California, Massachusetts, New Brunswick, North Dakota, Oregon, and Washington. I will be posting information on some of these families when I find the time. In the meantime, feel free to write with questions. As usual, all additions, corrections and comments are welcomed.

===============================================================

FOURTH GENERATION


21. Annie Elizabeth HURD [Catherine-3, William-2, Samuel-1] was born 21 July 1848 at Richibucto, Kent County, New Brunswick [240]. She was living in Richibucto with her parents in 1861 [11], and with her mother and sister there in 1871 [19]. In 1871 she was also recorded in the census of Weldford Parish, Kent County, where she was teaching school [244]. On 2 December 1877, she married Gilbert Judson LUTES, son of Abram LUTES and Rosanna STEEVES [18, 245]. Gilbert was born perhaps 21 September 1852 in New Brunswick [246]. The couple farmed at Moncton, Westmorland County, New Brunswick for twenty years or more [240, 247, 250]. After ca 1910, the couple lived apart, spending time in New Brunswick but also making regular trips to Alberta, Canada, to visit their children. On a visit to Medicine Hat, Alberta, in May 1928, Gilbert became ill. He rallied somewhat, and went on to visit other family in Drumheller, Alberta. Following further sickness, he was taken to Calgary General Hospital, where he died 16 August 1928. He was buried in the Burnside Cemetery in Drumheller, on 18 August 1928 [249].
Annie LUTES moved permanently to Alberta by 1917, living with family in Calgary, then in Medicine Hat, and later in Drumheller. After that, she lived alone for some time, cooking on farms at Cereal and Vermillion, Alberta. She returned to Drumheller ca 1940, lived there for awhile, then resided in a rest home in Calgary until she died ca 1951 [249].
Annie and Gilbert had six children:
74. Newton Isaac LUTES born 26 September 1878
75. Pearl LUTES born 19 February 1882
76. Worden Allen LUTES born 4 November 1883
77. Clarence LUTES born ca 1887
78. Eddie LUTES born ca 1889
79. Geoffrey J. LUTES born 26 July 1891

22. Tamar HURD [Catherine-3, William-2, Samuel-1] was born 7 June 1852 in Richibucto, Kent County, New Brunswick [240]. She was living with her parents in Richibucto in 1861 [11], and with her mother and sister there in 1871 [19]. She was also recorded in 1871 in Weldford Parish, Kent County, New Brunswick, where she was teaching school [19, 251]. Some time before 1881, she married William STEEVES, who was reportedly born 7 March 1852 [240]. They were living in Moncton, Westmorland County, New Brunswick at the time of the 1901 census. Tamar died 28 July 1917 at Moncton, at which time William was already deceased [252]. She was buried in the Elmwood Cemetery. So far, I have found no other records of Tamar, William, or any descendants.

23. John N. McCULLY [Rebecca-3, William-2, Samuel-1] was born 6 February 1857 in Richibucto, Kent County, New Brunswick [13]. His mother was unmarried, and his father's name is apparently unrecorded [253]. As a youth, he lived with his mother in his grandparents' home in Richibucto [11, 19]. As an adult, he farmed in Upper Rexton in Richibucto Township, and maintained a household for his mother and her three sisters throughout their adult lives [12, 13, 68]. He died in 1928, and is buried in the Richibucto Protestant Cemetery [9]. There is no indication that he ever married. His will, made on 29 August 1928 and probated 26 September 1928, left his land and possessions in trust to four year old John David Nelson CROSSMAN (1924-1965), who was living with him and John CROSSMAN'S mother, Cecily CROSSMAN, at the time of John's death. The only other persons mentioned in his will were the estate administrators, George A. HUTCHINSON and Hugh M. FERGUSON [253, 484].

24. George H. McCULLY [Samuel-3, William-2, Samuel-1] was born 16 June 1862, at Rexton, Kent County, New Brunswick [23, 243]. Some time after 1864, he moved with his parents to Kings County, New Brunswick, living with them and farming with them at Carsonville, Havelock and Manhurst [21, 22, 23, 243, 254]. He never married, and died in 1911 of typhoid fever [23]. He is buried in the Cornhill Baptist Cemetery, Kings County, New Brunswick [24].

25. William Shepherd McCULLY [Samuel-3, William-2, Samuel-1] was born 26 August 1864 in Rexton, Richibucto County, New Brunswick [23, 243]. Early in his life, he dropped the "William" from his name, and called himself Shepherd Kollock McCULLY, or "S. K," after his grandfather Jacob KOLLOCK. He moved with his parents to Kings County, New Brunswick, and farmed near Carsonville. He married on 11 June 1890 Selina Victoria BURGESS, daughter of Steven BURGESS and Sarah DUNHAM [23, 255]. On 9 March 1891, he received a Provincial land grant of 97 acres near Havelock, Kings County [21], where he and his family, his parents, and his brother George H. McCULLY moved. They sold that farm in 1909, and all moved to a 235 acre farm in Manhurst, Kings County [23]. Apparently S. K. and Selina made only one trip away from Kings County, to New Jersey and Massachusetts in 1933 to visit relatives [16]. Selina died 13 April 1941 [256], and S. K. in 1954 [257 ]. Both are buried in the Cornhill Baptist Cemetery, Kings County, New Brunswick [24].
S. K. and Selina had 14 children:
80. Maud Hilda McCULLY born 31 March 1891
81. Charles Ian McCULLY born 17 April 1892
82. Alice Mary McCULLY born 18 February 1894
83. Gordon Murray McCULLY born 16 February 1897
84. Hazel Mae McCULLY born 29 October 1898
85. Seymour Frederick McCULLY born 31 May 1900
86. Shepherd McCULLY born 18 July 1901
87. Norman Douglas McCULLY born 28 February 1903
88. Jessie Edna McCULLY born 17 October 1904
89. Ena Victoria McCULLY born 8 February 1906
90. Ross Oliver McCULLY born 5 September 1907
91. Bruce Burton McCULLY born 12 July 1909
92. Grant Delbert McCULLY born 24 January 1911
93. Lulu Nellie McCULLY born 8 August 1912

26. John Fletcher McCULLY [Samuel-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born 3 November 1836 in Londonderry Township, Guernsey County, Ohio. About 1839 he moved with his parents to an 80-acre farm near Meigsville, Morgan County, Ohio [78, 79], where they lived until 1848. From there they moved to a farm near New London, Henry County, Iowa [81]. They farmed there until February 1852, when they sold out [82], and in March 1852, joined most of the McCully clan on a wagon train for Oregon. They arrived in the Willamette Valley 15 August 1852 [47].
In October 1852, John's family settled an Oregon donation land claim near Harrisburg, Linn County, Oregon [91, 135]. They lived there and farmed until about 1857, then joined with William WATERS and his two sons Abner WATERS and John Morrison WATERS and their families on a move to southern Oregon. (Abner was married to John's sister, Mary Ann McCULLY.) They had a herd of over 100 cattle, and intended to take them to Sonoma County, California, where William WATERS' nephew, Jordan COX, was living with his family [92]. They planned to stay in southern Oregon just for the winter, but instead established a "milk house" on Louse Creek north of Grants Pass, and sold butter to the miners in Galice, some 12 miles west [93]. John's family started a hotel in Galice while the WATERS families moved on to Kerbyville, Josephine County. But the mining boom in the area ended, the town was deserted, the McCully hotel failed, and the family joined the others at Kerbyville, where John's parents ran a road house for three years [93, 94, 95]. John bought and sold land around Kerbyville [258], but by about 1864 he had returned with his parents and the WATERS families to the Willamette Valley, where they again settled at Harrisburg.
In Harrisburg, John began working as a clerk in the mercantile store of Smith, Brasefield and Company. Hiram Smith took him on as a partner two years later, and he managed the store for the next fifteen years [259, 260].
On 5 January 1865 in Harrisburg, John married Mary Sarilda ROACH, daughter of Thomas ROACH and Marietta TEA. Mary was born 22 April 1848 in Henry County (probably Jefferson Township), Iowa [261]. She lived there with her family in Henry County until 1852, when they came overland to Oregon and settled at Harrisburg. Both John and Mary succumbed to typhoid fever in 1881, she dying 8 December 1881 and he on 17 December 1881 [262]. Both are buried in the Masonic Cemetery at Harrisburg.

Children of John and Mary:
94. Asa Grant McCULLY born 1866
95. Harry A. McCULLY born March 1870

27. Mary Ann McCULLY [Samuel-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born 15 February 1839 in Londonderry Township, Guernsey County, Ohio. Shortly after she was born, she moved with her parents to an 80-acre farm near Meigsville, Morgan County, Ohio [78, 79], where they lived until 1848. From there they moved to a farm near New London, Henry County, Iowa [81]. They farmed there until February 1852, when they sold out [82], and in March 1852, joined most of the McCully clan on a wagon train for Oregon. They arrived in the Willamette Valley 15 August 1852 [47]. In October 1852, Mary Ann's family settled an Oregon donation land claim near Harrisburg, Linn County, Oregon [91,135].
On 1 March 1855 in Harrisburg, Mary Ann married Abner Walter WATERS, whom she had known as a child in Henry County, Iowa [263]. Abner, the son of William WATERS and Rachel COX, was born 30 November 1833 in Ashtabula County (probably in Saybrook), Ohio. He moved with his parents to Warrick County, Indiana about 1837, and on to Henry County, Iowa, in 1848. Reportedly, he attended for awhile the S. L. Howe Academy in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa [264], but by sometime in 1849 he was headed west to California. He had arrived at the eastern base of the Sierra Nevada in the spring of 1850, where he was met by his brother John Morrison WATERS, who had come over the mountains from Mud Springs (later, El Dorado), El Dorado County, California [265]. They returned to Mud Springs. I cannot find a listing for Abner in the 1850 census, but he was still in (or back in) Mud Springs in November 1851, mining with his cousin William COX [266]. He stayed in California another year, then headed north to Oregon, arriving in January 1853 [267] (I haven't been able to determine if he went north overland, or by steamship from San Francisco.) At Harrisburg, Linn County, Oregon, he rejoined his brother James Morrison WATERS and his sister Hannah Keziah (WATERS) McCULLY and her family. With John, Abner operated what may have been the first brick kiln in Linn County [265, 268].

On 6 March 1855, Abner and Mary Ann settled a 160-acre donation land claim of their own at Harrisburg [267 They lived there and farmed until about 1857, then joined with Abner's father William WATERS, Mary Ann's family, and John Morrison WATERS' family on a move to southern Oregon. They had a herd of over 100 cattle, and intended to take them to Sonoma County, California, where Abner's cousin, Jordan COX, was living with his family [92]. They planned to stay in southern Oregon just for the winter, but instead established a "milk house" on Louse Creek north of Grants Pass, and sold butter to the miners in Galice, some 12 miles west [93]. Samuel McCULLY and his immediate family started a hotel in Galice, while Mary Ann, Abner and the WATERS families moved on to Kerbyville, Josephine County, Oregon [269]. Abner and Mary Ann and the others bought around Kerbyville [270] and some farming was done, but by about 1861 all had sold out and returned to the Willamette Valley, where they again settled at Harrisburg. Abner farmed, and also was involved in general merchandise and real estate.
Mary Ann died 15 November 1863, and was buried in the Muddy Creek Cemetery near Harrisburg.
For the next several years, Abner served as a Captain in Company F, First Regiment of Oregon Volunteer Infantry. Also during his military service, he was commanding officer at Fort Hoskins (Benton County, Oregon), Fort Vancouver (Clark County, Washington), Fort Walla Walla (Walla Walla County, Washington), and Fort Lapwai (Nez Perce County, Idaho) [264, 271, 272]. I don't know where his and Mary Ann's three children were during this period; probably they were with relatives in Harrisburg, where Abner returned after his military service was completed.
Abner married 2nd Sarah McCARTNEY, perhaps in 1866 [287], although the ages of their known children would suggest a date several years later. Sarah was born in Warren County, Illinois, in 1842, the daughter of Henry A. and Margaret (FINNEY) McCARTNEY . Sarah's family was living in Peoria, Linn County, Oregon, at the time of her marriage [267, 273, 274]. After their marriage, Abner and his family lived in Harrisburg, where in 1870 Abner was employed as a "drover" (perhaps with his own livestock) [276]. They moved to eastern Oregon in the early 1870s, stopping awhile in Umatilla County, then living in Union County for perhaps 2-3 years, where Abner raised livestock [264, 275]. They were in Salem, Marion County, Oregon by 1875, when Abner bought the "Oregon Statesman" newspaper. His brother, William Henry Harrison WATERS, was named editor. Abner retained his interest in the "Statesman" until the sold the paper to W. H. Odell in June 1877, but he was appointed U. S. Marshall in 1876 and moved his family to Portland, Oregon. When his four year term expired in 1880, he was elected as a State Senator from Multnomah County, Oregon [264, 277].
Sarah (McCARTNEY) WATERS died 5 March 1882 in Portland, and was buried at the Lone Fir Cemetery [273]. About 1884, Abner moved to Burns, Harney County, Idaho, where he practiced law, and worked with local settlers (perhaps officially with the General Land Office [278] to obtain land that was to that point being monopolized by those who wanted large unsettled acreage for their cattle. He incurred the wrath of a local group, the "l00l," who sided with the livestock interests, and tried to force Abner and others to leave Harney County. Abner weathered the threats, and remained in Burns until 1900 [279].
While living in Harney County, Oregon, Abner married 3rd Elizabeth W. HUSTON 30 August 1893 [280]. According to census information, Elizabeth was born in Rhode Island March 1849. Both of her parents were also reportedly born in Rhode Island [281, 282]. There is some confusion over her identity. Some references [267, 287] list her as Elizabeth W. (HUSTON) KNOWLES; Abner's March 1889 application for a military pension clearly records her maiden name as Elizabeth W. KNOWLS [271]. She clearly married Abner under the HUSTON name; her age would suggest she had been married previously, but there is nothing on their marriage certificate to indicate her previous marital status. I haven't been able to positively find her in any census or other record, under either KNOWLES or HUSTON [283].
Abner and Elizabeth continued to live in Harney County for another six years after their marriage, then they moved to Idaho. At the time of the 1900 Federal census, 21 June 1900, they were recorded at Shoshone, Lincoln County, Idaho, with Abner's 4-year old granddaughter Eva FITZGERALD [284]. By 1902, they were living in Weiser, Washington County, Idaho, where Abner died 20 March 1906 and was buried in the Weiser Cemetery [285]. Elizabeth was living in Weiser in 1910 with Eva FITZGERALD [286]. Elizabeth had applied for a widow's military pension 30 August 1908; she was dropped from the pension rolls 2 July 1911 "because of remarriage now Luckey" (did she marry a Mr. Luckey?) [271]. I cannot find her after that date.
As noted above, Abner WATERS had a varied career, at various times being a farmer, stock raiser, newspaper owner, U. S. marshall, Oregon state senator, and attorney. He was a Republican by political persuasion, and a member of the Masons and the Knights of Pythias. He organized the George Wright Post of the G. A. R. in Portland in 1876 [264, 285].

Abner WATERS had five children, three with his first wife Mary Ann WATERS and two with his second wife Sarah McCARTNEY.
Children of Abner and Mary Ann:

96. Winfield Scott WATERS born 20 April 1857

97. Mary C. WATERS born 1859
98. Edward B. WATERS born 8 November 1862

Children of Abner and Sarah:

99. Eva WATERS born ca 1870

100. Allie WATERS born August 1871

28. Delilah Frances McCULLY [Samuel-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born 19 September 1841 near Meigsville, Morgan County, Ohio. She lived on a farm there with her family 1848. From there they moved to a farm near New London, Henry County, Iowa [81]. Her family farmed there until February 1852, when they sold out [82], and in March 1852, joined most of the McCully clan on a wagon train for Oregon. They arrived in the Willamette Valley 15 August 1852 [47].
In October 1852, Delilah's family settled an Oregon donation land claim near Harrisburg, Linn County, Oregon [91, 135]. They lived there and farmed until about 1857, then joined with William WATERS and his two sons Abner WATERS and John Morrison WATERS and their families on a move to southern Oregon. (Abner was married to Delilah's sister, Mary Ann McCULLY.) They had a herd of over 100 cattle, and intended to take them to Sonoma County, California, where William WATERS' nephew, Jordan COX, was living with his family [92]. They planned to stay in southern Oregon just for the winter, but instead established a "milk house" on Louse Creek north of Grants Pass, and sold butter to the miners in Galice, some 12 miles west [93]. Delilah's family started a hotel in Galice while the WATERS families moved on to Kerbyville, Josephine County. But the mining boom in the area ended, the town was deserted, the McCully hotel failed, and the family joined the others at Kerbyville, where Delilah's parents ran a road house for three years [93, 94, 95].
Shortly after arriving in Kerbyville, on 25 October 1860 Delilah married Sidney Breeze HENDERSHOTT [288], whom she had known in Henry County, Iowa, before they moved to Oregon. Sidney, the son of David HENDERSHOTT and Catherine BENHAM, was born in western Illinois (probably St. Clair County) 8 January 1832 [289]. He had moved with his family to Burlington, Des Moines County, Iowa, by 1840 [290], and to New London, Henry County, Iowa, before 1847 [291]. In Iowa, Sidney farmed, perhaps working with his father in his horticultural business [46]. In March 1853 he joined Asa McCULLY's wagon train to Oregon, reaching Salem, Oregon in August 1853 [292, 293]. In 1854 he moved south to Kerbyville, Josephine County, Oregon, where his brother James HENDERSHOTT had located the previous year.While there, he was elected as a Josephine County delegate to the Oregon Constitutional Convention, and was one of the 10 delegates who voted against the new state constitution on 18 September 1857 [294, 295]. He and his brother James were originally drawn to the area because of mining , but it isn't clear that either did much of it. Sidney was the jailor (some say sheriff) at Kerbyville when he married Delilah in 1860 [269].
Delilah and Sidney lived and farmed in the Kerbyville area until 1871 [296, 297], when they moved to Crescent City, Del Norte County, California. There, Sidney was foreman for Hobbs, Wall & Company, a major logging and sawmill enterprise [298, 299, 300]. Sidney died in Crescent City 2 August 1886 [301]; I haven't determined where he was buried.
After Sidney's death, Delilah managed the Travelers Hotel in Crescent City [302]. In 1904, she and her youngest daughter Frances moved to Los Angeles, California [298], perhaps because her daughter Matilda Sarah (HENDERSHOTT) BERG was living there with her family [303]. Delilah and Frances were charter members of the Glendale, California, First Methodist Church in 1904 [298]. They were living in Burbank, Los Angeles County, California in April 1910 [304], but returned to Crescent City after Frances' marriage to Frank J. WALTON in June 1910. Delilah was living with her daughter and son-in-law in Crescent City in January 1920 [305]. She died there 31 March 1925. I don't yet know where she was buried.
Delilah and Sidney had five children:
101. Henrietta Ann HENDERSHOTT born 6 October 1861
102. Etta Catherine HENDERSHOTT born 6 January 1864
103. Eleanor Carrie HENDERSHOTT born 22 December 1867
104. Sarah Matilda HENDERSHOTT born 27 July 1871
105. Mary Frances HENDERSHOTT born 8 November 1880

29. William Asa McCULLY [Samuel-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born 25 December 1844 near Meigsville, Morgan County, Ohio. He lived on a farm there with his family 1848. From there they moved to a farm near New London, Henry County, Iowa [81]. His family farmed there until February 1852, when they sold out [82], and in March 1852, joined most of the McCully clan on a wagon train for Oregon. They arrived in the Willamette Valley 15 August 1852 [47].
In October 1852, William's family settled an Oregon donation land claim near Harrisburg, Linn County, Oregon [91, 135]. They lived there and farmed until about 1857, then joined with William WATERS and his two sons Abner WATERS and John Morrison WATERS and their families on a move to southern Oregon. (Abner was married to William's sister, Mary Ann McCULLY.) They had a herd of over 100 cattle, and intended to take them to Sonoma County, California, where William WATERS' nephew, Jordan COX, was living with his family [92]. They planned to stay in southern Oregon just for the winter, but instead established a "milk house" on Louse Creek north of Grants Pass, and sold butter to the miners in Galice, some 12 miles west [93]. William's family started a hotel in Galice while the WATERS families moved on to Kerbyville, Josephine County. But the mining boom in the area ended, the town was deserted, the McCully hotel failed, and the family joined the others at Kerbyville, where William's parents ran a road house for three years [93, 94, 95]. About 1864 he returned with his parents and the WATERS families to the Willamette Valley, where they again settled at Harrisburg.
During the Civil War, William enlisted in the Oregon Volunteer Infantry. He served within the state in Company F from December 1864 to July 1866 [306]. He married in Lebanon, Linn County, Oregon on 13 September 1868 to Jennie McDONALD, with whom he had traveled west from Iowa in 1852 [47]. Jennie, the daughter of John Nelson McDONALD and Margaret H. BLODGETT, was born in New London, Henry County, Iowa, on 5 February 1847. After arriving in Oregon in August 1852, she lived with her parents in Lebanon until she married William. Within a year after their marriage, they moved to Wasco County, Oregon, where they farmed for awhile [307], then moved on to Cove, Union County [308]. There they continued to farm, and also raised livestock in conjunction with William's uncles, David and Asa McCULLY. By 1875 they had moved on to the Wallowa Valley at Joseph, Wallowa County, where he died 1 September 1899 [309]. He was buried in the Prairie Creek Cemetery.
Jennie continued to live in Joseph, first with some of her children, then (by 1910) by herself [310, 311, 312]. She died there 5 April 1924, and was buried in Prairie Creek Cemetery [313].
William and Jennie had seven children:
106. Clara McCULLY born 22 June 1869
107. Fred Fletcher McCULLY born 8 October 1870
108. Guy E. McCULLY born 4 November 1872
109. Lola M. McCULLY born 22 May 1875
110. Lila McCULLY born 22 May 1875
111. Ethel Harriet McCULLY born 30 August 1879
112. Blanche McCULLY born 1 September 1886

30. Joseph Henry McCULLY [David-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born 7 May 1841 in Londonderry Township, Guernsey County, Ohio. He lived there on his father's farm until 1844, when the family moved to Burlington, Des Moines, Iowa. They may have resided briefly in Burlington, but in August 1844, Joseph's father and his uncle Asa McCULLY bought 120 acres of land in Henry County near New London, which they farmed [105]. Over the next several years, David and Asa bought and sold various acreages in Henry County and nearby Des Moines County [106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111], gradually shifting from farm acreage to town lots in New London. By the spring of 1848, they had sold most of their farmland and both families were living in New London, where the brothers had started a mercantile business.
In March 1852, most of the McCully clan left New London by wagon train for Oregon. At the Missouri River crossing in Iowa on 21 April, Joseph was injured while leading mules to water. The family tried to get him to Fort Kearny, Nebraska, for possible medical treatment, but he died on 26 April 1852. He was buried by the trail [314].

31. Mary Jane McCULLY [David-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born 16 August 1844 in Burlington, Des Moines County, Iowa, where her family had just arrived from their previous home in Guernsey County, Ohio. They were in Burlington only a short while, moving that same month to a 120 acre farm near New London, Henry County, Iowa [105]. Over the next several years, her father David and uncle Asa McCULLY bought and sold various acreages in Henry County and nearby Des Moines County [106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111], gradually shifting from farm acreage to town lots in New London. By the spring of 1848, they had sold most of their farmland and both families were living in New London, where the brothers had started a mercantile business.
In March 1852, most of the McCully clan left New London by wagon train for Oregon. They arrived in the Willamette Valley 15 August 1852 [47]. The wagon train officially broke up in Salem, but the McCullys and some of the other families continued south up the Willamette Valley to Harrisburg, Linn County. Mary Jane's family settled on a 320 acre donation claim just east of Harrisburg, and began farming. Her father and her uncle Asa established the first mercantile store in Harrisburg. The family stayed in Harrisburg until March 1858, when they moved to Salem, Marion County, Oregon [104].
On 24 December 1868, at her family's home in Salem, Mary Jane married John CREIGHTON [320, 321]. He was born near Dundee, County Angus, Scotland, 13 August 1834, where he lived until 1950 when his family emigrated to the United States, arriving in New York City 17 May 1850 on the ship "Brooksby" from Glasgow, Scotland [322]. By 28 August 1850, they were settled on a farm near Scipio, La Porte County, Indiana [323]. John left home by April 1858, and was a civilian employee of the U. S. Army for about six years [324]. His first job with the military was as wagon master for Colonel Andrew on a trip from Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas, to Benicia, California. On this trip, on 18 July 1858, he was reportedly the first person to take a wagon through Bridger's Pass over the Rocky Mountains. It took 14 days to travel 50 miles. In 1859, General Hancock sent him by boat from Benicia to Vancouver, Washington, with a load of government mules. There he was placed in charge of Lt. John Mullens' supply train. In the fall 1859, he was among those beginning to build a military wagon road from Fort Walla Walla, Washington Territory, to Fort Benton, Montana Territory. They road crew became snowed in on the Bitterroot River, lost most of their stock, and almost perished. One man had severely frozen limbs, and Creighton reportedly went by himself 25 miles through the snow and brought back a doctor. The party did not get back to Walla Walla until February 1860.
On 11 October 1860, Creighton left Fort Walla Walla with Capt. Dent's expedition against the Snake Indians who had massacred part of the Van Norman party on 9 September 1860. The survivors were found on the Owyhee River, reduced to cannabilism, and were taken back to Walla Walla 6 November 1860.
In the spring 1864, Creighton entered into the partnership of Crawford, Creighton and Co., for hauling freight from Umatilla, Oregon, and Walla Walla to various points in Idaho and eastern Oregon. In 1865 the business included Messrs. Slocum and Hicks, and they purchased land at Union, Union County, Oregon, as a freight depot [325]. In September 1868 Creighton bought out the company, and became sole owner. He was regularly hauling freight to Silver City, Idaho, but when the 1868 silver strike occurred at White Pine in eastern Nevada hit, he took his wagons there [326]. According to his obituary, he was unsuccessful in eastern Nevada "owing to the opposition of 'Nick of the Woods,'" and bankrupted his business in a single day [324, 327].
It isn't clear yet how John CREIGHTON met Mary Jane McCULLY, as he seems to have had no ties with western Oregon. We have found no concrete records of David and Asa McCULLY doing business in eastern Oregon prior to 1870,but it seems likely they had some dealings with Creighton earlier than that. In any event, in December 1869 Mary Jane had returned with John to Union, Oregon, where they farmed, raised livestock, and managed the extensive Creighton-McCully land (approximately 1400 acres) and cattle holdings that developed in the 1870s [104].
In May 1872, John CREIGHTON went to Texas to buy 2400 head of cattle to stock the range [152]. Back in Oregon with the cattle, he managed the herds, which were kept in the Grande Ronde Valley in winter and moved to the higher ranges in the Wallowa Mountains in summer [153]. Apparently their stock were supplemented with other cattle from the Willamette Valley and from Grant County (the latter so far unconfirmed by us) [154]. Although the seasonal moves between the Grande Ronde to the Wallowa country worked, by 1875 Creighton and others were keeping stock in the Imnaha region of the Wallowa yearlong, which was causing conflict with the Nez Perce Indians who lived in the area. The Army met with some of the livestock men, but the move toward full time settlement of the Wallowa Valley continued [153]. By the early 1880s, the McCullys had acquired considerable land around Joseph, in the Wallowa Valley, and had shifted their stock raising business there from the Grande Ronde [155, 156]. John and Mary Jane CREIGHTON moved their family to Joseph about 1878 [328]. John broke his leg shortly after the move, and David McCULLY sent his son Frank D. McCULLY and Al FAULKNER from Salem to Joseph to help with the business while Creighton was incapacitated [329].
John CREIGHTON died of heart trouble in Joseph 22 December 1884 [324, 330]. His body was taken to Salem, Oregon, where he was buried in the Pioneer Cemetery. Mary Jane moved with her daughters to Salem, where she lived with her father David McCULLY [331]. About 1907 (perhaps after her father died 6 December 1906?), she reportedly moved to Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon, where she died 27 April 1920 [332, 333]. She was buried in the Pioneer Cemetery in Salem, Oregon.
John and Mary Jane [McCULLY] CREIGHTON had four daughters:
113. Mary CREIGHTON born 14 September 1870
114. Jessie McCully CREIGHTON born 9 October 1871
115. Mabel Scott CREIGHTON born 12 June 1874
116. Rose Estelle CREIGHTON born 28 December 1878

32. John William McCULLY [David-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born 22 February 1847 at New London, Henry County, Iowa, where his father David and his uncle Asa McCULLY were in the mercantile business. In March 1852, most of the McCully clan left New London by wagon train for Oregon. They arrived in the Willamette Valley 15 August 1852 [47]. The wagon train officially broke up in Salem, but the McCullys and some of the other families continued south up the Willamette Valley to Harrisburg, Linn County. John's family settled on a 320 acre donation claim just east of Harrisburg, and began farming. His father and his uncle Asa established the first mercantile store in Harrisburg. The family stayed in Harrisburg until March 1858, when they moved to Salem, Marion County, Oregon [104]. John ("Jack") lived with his parents in Salem, and was working as a clerk (unspecified business) in June 1870 [334]. About 1872 he moved to Union County, Oregon, where he hauled freight by wagon [335].
Some time between 1873 and 1879, he married in Union County, Miranda A. HUDSON [336]. Miranda, the daughter of Thomas R. HUDSON and Louisa A. BOOTH, was born ca 1855 in Marion County (probably Silverton), Oregon, where her parents had settled a donation land claim 11 March 1855 [337]. The family moved to Union County sometime between July 1860 and July 1870 [338, 339]. The couple had been married only a few years when Miranda suffered a crippling fall. She moved with her mother to Salem, Oregon, in June 1880, and died there 26 June 1881 [340, 341]. She is buried in the Salem Pioneer Cemetery.
In Union County, Oregon, on 14 May 1883, Jack McCULLY married 2nd Sarah Jane [GRAHAM] OWNBEY. Sarah, the daughter of Jackson GRAHAM and Martha McKINNEY, was born 20 November 1858 at Floris, Davis County, Iowa, where her father farmed. They moved from Iowa to Missouri ca 1861, to Idaho Territory ca 1864, and to Walla Walla County, Washington Territory ca 1865. By 1875 the family had moved to Union County, Oregon, where on 30 May 1875, Sarah Jane GRAHAM married James A. OWNBEY [342, 343, 344, 345].
James A. OWNBEY, the son of William OWNBEY and Martha Jane [LANGSTON] HENDERSON, was born 30 November 1854 near Corvallis, Benton County, Oregon, where his father farmed. Some time after June 1870, he moved with his family to Indian Valley, Union County, Oregon, where Sarah's family was living. We know nothing else about him except that he died in Union County in 1880. He and Sarah had two children, only one of them living in 1880 [342, 346, 347, 348, 349].
Jack and Sarah lived in Elgin, Union County, Oregon, for several years, where Jack worked as a teamster and day laborer. They moved to Lostine, Wallowa County, Oregon after 1893, where they farmed, then returned to Elgin in the fall 1910. He developed Bright's Disease (a kidney malfunction), which was the apparent cause of his death 23 May 1911 while on a visit to his step-daughter Hetta [OWNBEY] COMPAU in Lowden, Walla Walla County, Washington [335, 350, 351]. Martha lived two more years, dying at their home in Elgin, Oregon, 15 March 1913 [343]. They are both buried in the City Cemetery, Elgin.
Family lore is that Jack McCULLY was not on good terms with his father David McCULLY because David didn't feel that Jack tried hard enough to make money and be "successful." This may be the reason that David's 1906 will left four of his five living children each one-fifth of his final estate, but left Jack only the net earnings of the final one-fifth share [352].
John William McCULLY and Miranda HUDSON had no children. Sarah GRAHAM and William OWNBEY had two:
117. Hetta OWNBEY born 3 April 1876
118. Unidentified OWNBEY born ca 1878
John William McCULLY and Sarah GRAHAM had:
119. Willard Weldon McCULLY born 30 March 1884
120. Elsie Viola McCULLY born 23 January 1886
121. Jessie Floyd McCULLY born 29 July 1893

33. Estelle Ann McCULLY [David-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born 4 July 1849 at New London, Henry County, Iowa, where her father David McCULLY had a mercantile store and other businesses. In March 1852, most of the McCully clan left New London by wagon train for Oregon. They arrived in the Willamette Valley 15 August 1852 [47]. The wagon train officially broke up in Salem, but the McCullys and some of the other families continued south up the Willamette Valley to Harrisburg, Linn County. Estelle's family settled on a 320 acre donation claim just east of Harrisburg, and began farming. Her father and her uncle Asa McCULLY established the first mercantile store in Harrisburg. The family stayed in Harrisburg until March 1858, when they moved to Salem, Marion County, Oregon [104]. Estelle lived with her parents in Salem, until 27 April 1871, when she married Andrew Nathaniel GILBERT [320].
Andrew GILBERT was born 18 March 1840 at Dudley, Grandview Township, Edgar County, Illinois, the son of James GILBERT and Margaret HURD [353]. The Gilberts had come to Illinois from Augusta County, Virginia, a year or so before Andrew was born. James GILBERT was a shoemaker and farmer [354, 355]. Andrew farmed with his father until 15 July 1861 when he enlisted in Company E, 12th Illinois Volunteer Infantry. He served as a private and as a hospital steward until 10 July 1865, when he was discharged at Louisville, Kentucky. During his Civil War service period, he was wounded in the hand at the Battle of Pittsburgh Landing 6 April 1862, and suffered from typhoid fever 9-15 May 1862 [353, 356]. After mustering out, he traveled to Fort Benton, Montana, where he obtained a horse and rode to Salem, Oregon, via Helena, Montana, arriving in October 1866 [357].
In Salem, he first was employed as a clerk in John Wright's grocery store [356]. By 1870, he and his brother John GILBERT had a shoe and boot store. In 1876, Andrew bought out Asa McCULLY's share of Asa and David McCULLY's grocery store; David later sold his half of the business to I. L. PATTERSON (later Governor of Oregon), and the business became Gilbert & Patterson, grocers [358]. Gilbert and Patterson later had an orchard and hop farm together [356]. Andrew GILBERT was Salem Postmaster 19 September 1889 to 16 August 1894, and was superintendent of the Oregon State Penitentiary from 4 March 1895 to 1898. He was very active in Republican Party politics, being elected to the Oregon Legislature as a representative from Marion county in 1874, 1876, 1882 and 1885. He was a delegate to various county and state conventions, and served regularly on Republican central committees. For three years beginning in 1870, he was Treasurer for the City of Salem [359].
On 12 November 1890, Estelle GILBERT and son Warren GILBERT were on a train that derailed near Salem, sending three of the eight cars off the tracks and into a marsh, killing three people. Warren GILBERT suffered a broken leg, and Estelle was seriously shaken up and (for awhile) internal injuries were suspected [362, 363].
Andrew N. GILBERT died in Salem, Oregon, 14 July 1923 of the effects of chronic myelitis (inflammation of the bone marrow or spinal cord) [360]. He was buried at the Mt. Crest Abbey Mausoleum in Salem. Estelle continued to live in their Salem home, which was near that of her daughter and son-in-law, Agnes and Bernard SCHUCKING. She lived with the SCHUCKINGS for the last three years until her death 14 July 1933 [363]. She is buried at the Mt. Crest Abbey Mausoleum in Salem.
Andrew N. and Estelle [McCULLY] GILBERT had three children:
122. Ray David GILBERT born 1 February 1872
123. Henry Warren GILBERT born 16 August 1875
124. Agnes GILBERT born 7 December 1883

34. Alfred Marion McCULLY [David-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born 9 July 1853 at Harrisburg, Linn County, Oregon, where he lived on his parents' donation land claim. . The family stayed in Harrisburg until March 1858, when they moved to Salem, Marion County, Oregon [104]. Alfred lived with his parents in Salem, until 31 October 1874 when he married Violet Elmira GEER [364]. Violet, the daughter of Frederick W. GEER and Mary Ann PRENTICE, was born 25 July 1852 on the family's donation land claim at Butteville, Clackamas (then, Yamhill) County, Oregon [365, 366]. The couple continued to live in Salem, where Alfred was employed as an engineer on steamboats on the Willamette and Columbia rivers. In 1894, they moved to The Dalles, Wasco County, Oregon (probably to do with his riverboat occupation), but by 1900 they were living on the Geer homestead at Butteville, Clackamas County. They farmed there the rest of their lives [367, 368, 369], Violet dying there 4 March 1924. Alfred continued to live on the farm until early 126, when he was brought to Salem for medical care. He died in Salem 3 July 1926. Both are buried at the Geer family cemetery at Butteville [364, 370].
Alfred and Violet [GEER] McCULLY had three sons:
125. Archie D. McCULLY born May 1874
126. Guy Geer McCULLY born 31 August 1876
127. William Wade McCULLY born 6 September 1877

35. Frank David McCULLY [David-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born 2 June 1859 in Salem, Marion County, Oregon. He attended Salem schools, including some time at Willamette University. He worked for his father David McCULLY at the meat market run by father and his uncle Asa, each morning bringing meat from the slaughtering area in Polk County across the river to the store in Salem [371]. When his father and uncle established a livestock business in the early 1870s, Frank accompanied cattle drives from the Willamette Valley to eastern Oregon in 1872, 1875 and 1876 [371]. When his brother-in-law John CREIGHTON broke his leg about 1879, Frank was sent from Salem to Wallowa County, to help with the management of the McCully holdings [329]. After a year, rather than returning to the Willamette Valley, he settled at Wallowa (then, Silver) Lake, obtaining 160 acres of Government land [372]. He built a store on the property, which opened in October 1880 with $3000-4000 worth of merchandise [373]. The business , which was the first in the Wallowa Valley and only the second in all of Union County [169] was so successful that, in 1881, Frank platted out the future town of Lake City (now,Joseph) on his property and began selling building lots [373, 374].
On 5 January 1881 at La Grande, Union County, Oregon, Frank McCULLY married Julia HAMBELTON [375]. Julia, the daughter of Lemuel L. HAMBELTON and Johana SPEAR, was born ca 1861 at Jefferson, Scotland County, Missouri [376]. She moved with her family to Colorado about 1880, to eastern Oregon about 1876, and to the Wallowa Valley in 1878 [377].
For the next twenty years, Frank McCULLY was perhaps the most prominent businessman and politician in northeastern Oregon. He expanded his mercantile business to include stores at Flora, Lostine and Enterprise. He was the principal entity in establishment of the newspaper "Wallowa Chieftain" in 1884, the First Bank of Joseph in 1887, the Joseph Waterworks in 1889, and the Joseph electric light plant in 1900. He sold his mercantile store in Lostine to J. A. Masterson in 1890, then the store in Flora was sold to Lincoln Austin and George C.Clarke in 1902. Even has he was reducing the number of his stores, he was establishing the Joseph Milling Company and consolidating all his interests into the McCully Mercantile Company in 1905 [169, 373, 378, 379].
Frank McCULLY is remembered as "the father of Wallowa County," because of his successful efforts to separate Wallowa County from Union County in 1887. Merchants and public figures in the growing communities in the Wallowa Valley felt they were too isolated from the Union County seat of government to receive fair treatment for local needs. Frank McCully declared himself a candidate for the Oregon Legislature in 1886, his main campaign promise being that he would introduce a bill to establish a new county. He won the seat and, as promised, on 12 January 1887, the third bill introduced to the new Congress was the Wallowa County bill. It passed without opposition, and was ratified 11 February 1887. Joseph was declared the interim county seat, but lost out to Enterprise, Oregon, in the next election [373].
Frank and Julia [HAMBELTON] McCULLY divorced some time between 1900 and 1908. Julia married 2nd _____ VINSON, and was widowed before 1930. On 4 April 1930, she was with her daughter and son-in-law, Lelia and William H. BALLINGER, in Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon [376]. We have so far found no further records of her.
On 19 November 1908 in Portland, Oregon, Frank McCULLY married 2nd Martha Elizabeth [Van VACTOR] DUNBAR. Martha, the daughter of William Wilson Van VACTOR and Mary E. WISHARD, was born 2 January 1875 in Albany, Linn County, Oregon. About 1880 she moved with her family to The Dalles, Wasco County, Oregon, then within a year or two to Goldendale, Klickitat County, Washington, where her father and mother lived the rest of their lives [380, 381, 382]. She married first ca 1892, probably in Klickitat County, Oron (or Ora) DUNBAR. Oron, the son of Daniel S. DUNBAR and Margaret Matilda ____, was born in Multnomah County, Oregon, in February 1870. He lived with his farmer parents near Fairview, Multnomah County, probably until sometime after 1890. He and Martha were living in Goldendale by July 1894 when their first child was born, and were still there in June 1900 [383, 384, 385]. So far, I have found no records of Oron after 1900, and don't know whether he died or was divorced from Martha.
Back in Wallowa County after their marriage, Frank McCULLY continued with a variety of business ventures. He had a sheep ranch, flour mill, owned the telephone lines through Wallowa County, operated a stage line from Union County to Joseph, served as receiver for two national banks, and was a field agent for the Oregon State Land Board [169, 378]. Although "well to do" on paper, most of his assets were tied up in mortgages and outstanding lines of credit, and the widespread depression of the mid-1920s hit him hard. McCully Mercantile Company closed in January 1926. "In June 1926 Mr. McCully joined the ranks of the plebian class when his debts far exceeded his assets [373]."
Other than his term as a State representative, Frank McCULLY does not seem to have directly involved himself in party politics, instead using his newspaper and business connections to benefit him and the local community. He was a Mason, belonging to Joseph Lodge 884, and an Elk affiliated with La Grande Lodge 433 BPOE. He was also a member of Eastern Star, Joseph #87.
Frank McCULLY lived out his life at Joseph, Oregon, dying there 13 March 1939. By special permission of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and in recognition of his friendship with Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce, he was buried in the Indian cemetery at Wallowa Lake. After Frank's death, Martha lived in Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon, where she died 18 October 1947. She is buried with Frank McCully at Wallowa Lake.
Frank McCULLY and Julia HAMBELTON had three children:
128. Wilmer David McCULLY born 10 May 1882
129. Elmo L. McCULLY born 23 July 1884
130. Roy Calvert McCULLY born 8 October 1887
131. Lelia McCULLY born ca 1890

Martha Van VACTOR had two children by her first marriage to Oron DUNBAR;
132. Raymond O. DUNBAR born July 1894
133. Lucille DUNBAR born August 1897

Frank McCULLY and Martha Van VACTOR had one child:
134. Frank David McCULLY II born 1 June 1914

36. Carrie Gertrude McCULLY [David-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born in Salem, Marion County, Oregon, on 14 June 1862, and died there 11 May 1864. She is buried in the Pioneer Cemetery in Salem.

37. Samuel Alfred McCULLY [Asa-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born 5 March 1841 probably in Londonderry Township, Guernsey County, Ohio. He died 21 September 1841, and was buried in the Methodist Episcopal Cemetery, Sewellsville, Belmont County, Ohio [42].

38. Sarah Catherine McCULLY [Asa-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born 1 October 1844 in Londonderry Township, Guernsey County, Ohio. Shortly after her birth, she moved with her parents to New London, Henry County, Iowa, but died there 30 September 1845. We have been unable to find a grave stone for her, but she is probably buried with her mother in the Farlow Cemetery, New London [122].

39. William Asa McCULLY [Asa-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born 19 June 1849 at New London, Henry County, Iowa. He died there 6 March 1851. We have not found a grave stone for him.

40. Frances Ann McCULLY [Asa-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born 21 August 1851 and died 11 September 1851 in New London, Henry County, Iowa. We have not been able to find a grave stone for her.

41. Alice Jane McCULLY [Asa-3, John-2, Samuel-1], twin sister of Frances Ann McCULLY was born 21 August 1851 in New London, Henry County, Iowa. In March 1852, she left New London with her parents and other relatives, and crossed the plains to Oregon, arriving in August 1852 [47]. The family lived first in Harrisburg, Linn County, Oregon, before moving to Salem, Marion County, Oregon in late 1863 or early 1864. The family moved again in late 1870 to Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon, but returned to Salem the following year. Alice Jane presumably attended public schools in Harrisburg and Salem, and graduated from St. Mary's Academy in Portland, reportedly the only school in the Northwest at that time where a girl could study music [464]. On 8 December 1870 in Portland, she married William Bradford CRANE [465, 466].
William B. CRANE,, son of James Harvey CRANE and Sarah Theresa BRADFORD, was born in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey, on 26 April 1835. He lived with his family in Newark until late 1849 or early 1850 when they moved to near Morgantown, Monongalia County, Virginia (now West Virginia) [467, 468]. In 1854 they moved again to Warren, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania [468, 469].
We haven't been able to determine what schooling William had. We assume he attended primary schools in Newark. His brother James Elbert CRANE attended the "Morgantown Academy" [468] (probably the Monongalia Academy, as no record exists of a "Morgantown Academy"), and William may have attended there, also. His later occupations show a strong understanding and interest in hardware and the mechanics of mine operations, so he probably worked with his father manufacturing engine parts and constructing a steel rolling mill. In 1854 he was working for Alexander McCLURE who owned a timber company and had a sawmill and box building company [470, 471].
William left Pennsylvania for Missouri in late 1854 [470]. He appears to have settled first at Canton, Lewis County, Missouri, where he married Mary Louisa WILLIAMS ca 1857. Mary, the daughter of Dr. James Thomas WILLIAMS and Louisa CECIL, was born in Lewis County in 1841 [472]. They lived in Canton in 1857 and 1858, where William had a wagon and carriage shop and also a mercantile store with Joseph W. HOKE [473, 474]. They apparently lived for a year or less near Independence, Missouri, where William ran a ferry across the Missouri River [475]. By July 1860 they were living in St. Louis, St. Louis County, Missouri, where William had a hardware and mercantile store [476, 477]. He was appointed manager of the Pilot Knob Iron Company (Iron County, Missouri) in November 1860, a position he held until the Civil War forced closure of the plant in early 1862. As he was leaving Pilot Knob with his family to visit friends and family in Canton, Missouri, Mary became ill and died 9 February 1862. Her body was taken to Canton, where she was buried in the Forest Grove Cemetery [478].
Being deeply in debt and with few prospects for making money in War-depressed Missouri, William decided to leave his infant daughter with her maternal grandparents, and go West to the mining areas of Montana. He and his brother Lewis CRANE took the steamer "Emilie" up the Missouri River to Fort Benton, Montana. They visited the Montana mines briefly, but the areas didn't look promising to them, so they traveled on to Oregon, arriving in Salem in August 1862 [478, 479]. William immediately found a job with the Oregon Steam Navigation Company (OSNC), working on their steamboats on the Columbia River. In the next eight years, he worked the mining camps of eastern Oregon, western Idaho, and eastern Nevada, partly on assignment from the directors of OSNC and partly on his own. With his brother Lewis and his uncle Charles H. CRANE, he developed a farm near Boise, Ada County, Idaho, from which they supplied the mining camps with fruits and vegetables. At the time of his marriage to Alice Jane McCULLY, most of his time was being spent in the White Pine mining district of eastern Nevada, where he mined, ran a lumber mill, and sold life insurance to the miners [480].
For the next eight years following their marriage, Will CRANE was on the road almost full- time, developing mines and selling life insurance. (As we've pieced together his schedule, it has become clear that, in their eight and one-quarter years of marriage, he and Alice probably lived together less than one year!) In 1871 and 1872, much of his work was in Baker County, Oregon; Allie lived for awhile in Portland, then with her parents in Salem. From 1873 through 1877, he spent much of his time at Virginia City, Storey County, Nevada; Allie lived in Oakland, California, usually with CRANE relatives, while Will had a house built for them in Virginia City. They apparently moved into the new house some time in 1874, only to see it burn to the ground in the great Virginia City fire on 26 October 1875 [481, 482]. Allie lived part-time at Virginia City after that, but was more frequently in Oakland or with her parents in Oregon.
By early 1878 they had a house of their own in Oakland, but Will was mostly away, superintending the Extra Mining Company, and overseeing the development of the Bully Hill copper mine at Copper City, Shasta County, California. He was at Copper City in February 1879 when he became ill. He returned to Oakland, then in April decided to make a trip to Oregon to visit with Allie's family. He died 20 April 1879 at the McCULLY home in Salem. He was buried in the Pioneer Cemetery in Salem [483].
After William CRANE's death, Allie brought her children to Oregon, living for awhile with her family in Salem, then with her daughter, Ethel Linnie (CRANE) DABNEY and family in Portland. On trips to Massachusetts to visit with her son and daughter-in-law, Clarence and Stella (HOWARD) CRANE, she met Stella's parents, Daniel and Georgianna (WEATHERBEE) HOWARD. After Georgianna died, Allie and Daniel married 9 April 1903. She returned to Oregon to settle her affairs, but found her children there adamant against the marriage. She divorced without returning to Massachusetts.
Allie continued to live with the DABNEYs, in Portland until 1926, then in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles County, California. She died in Beverly Hills 8 December 1932. Her body was returned to Oregon, where she was buried in the Salem Pioneer Cemetery [464].

William Bradford CRANE had two daughters with his first wife Mary Louise WILLIAMS:
135. Sue CRANE born ca 1859.
136. Mary Louise CRANE born 5 August 1861
William Bradford CRANE and Alice Jane McCULLY had three children:
137. Clarence CRANE born 28 November 1872
138. Ethel Linnie CRANE born 29 May 1874
139. William Bradford CRANE Jr. born 29 June 1879

42. Mary Melissa McCULLY [Asa-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born 19 May 1854 at Harrisburg, Linn County, Oregon. "Linnie," as she was called, moved with her family to Salem, Marion County, Oregon in late 1863 or early 1864. The family moved again in late 1870 to Portland, Oregon, but moved back to Salem the following year. Linnie probably went to Salem schools, but we have found no specific records.
On 8 November 1877 in Salem, she married Allen B. CROASMAN [458]. Allen, son of James CROASMAN and Lovina BRINKLEY, was born 7 June 1846 at Burnside, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, where his father was a farmer [459]. About 1854 the family moved west to Warren, Trumbell County, Ohio, where Allen's mother died about 1856 [460]. By June 1860, James CROASMAN had re-married, and the family had moved about 25 miles east to Greenville, Mercer County, Pennsylvania [461]. He attended school at Greenville, then soon left home and worked a variety of jobs in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin: carried mail between Oil City and Franklin, Pennsylvania; was a newsboy aboard the Milwaukee and Mississippi Railroad between Milwaukie and Prairie de Chien, Wisconsin; and later was an express check agent on the same line [449, 460].
Allen rejoined his father (who had become a clergyman), and in 1864 they sailed from New York City via Panama to Oregon, arriving in Salem in June, where James CROASMAN was to establish a new church. Allen was hired on at the grocery store of Charles Uzafovage and John C. Wright, where he worked a year until a fire destroyed the store and a number of other buildings. Allen had lived above the store, and lost all his belongings in the fire. He then worked for Heath, Dearborn and Company, the largest dry good store in Salem. When they sold to Morgan, Scott and Company ca 1867, Allen was kept on as assistant bookkeeper. He took a job as a bookkeeper at the Oregon Woolen Mills in Oregon City, but missed Salem and returned to his former job with Morgan, Scott and Company. When they went out of business, he became chief clerk and bookkeeper for Breyman, Bowen and Cranston.
In April 1870 Allen CROASMAN, in partnership with J. J. MURPHY, established a men's clothing store in Salem. They were in business together 11 years, then Croasman bought out Murphy. In 1877 he sold the store to his brother-in-law John D. McCULLY [462].
In addition to his business endeavors, Allen CROASMAN served as Salem Postmaster 1883-1885, was Chief of the Salem Fire Department for two years, and was on the Salem City Council for one term [449].
On 8 November 1877 in Salem, Allen and Linnie married. That same year, they moved to Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon, where Allen established another men's clothing store. The store did well until "the panic of 1893," when demand for high-class fashions declined drastically. Allen found himself in debt, and the store was forced to close, He was appointed Portland Postmaster 10 May 1898, which after the store closure became his sole employment. He served in that position until March 1903 [449, 462]. After the Postmaster job, he opened a brokerage house in Portland, and dealt with timberlands, mining properties, stocks, bonds and investments into the 1920s [184, 417].
Linnie [McCULLY] CROASMAN died in Portland 18 July 1925. She was buried in the Salem Pioneer Cemetery. Allen continued to live in Portland, in later years with the family of his daughter Alice [CROASMAN] DUSTIN. In December 1930 he was appointed bailiff and official court crier District Judges Bean and McNary, a position he held until shortly before his death 3 September 1935 [460, 463]. He was buried in the Salem Pioneer Cemetery.
Allen CROASMAN and Mary Melissa McCULLY had three children:
140. Alice Louise CROASMAN born 2 January 1881
141. Lillian CROASMAN born 18 December 1885
142. Allen B. CROASMAN Jr. born 6 September 1890

43. John David McCULLY [Asa-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born 2 February 1856 at Harrisburg, Linn County, Oregon. "J. D.," as family and friends called him, attended school briefly in Harrisburg before moving to Salem, Marion County, Oregon in late 1863 or early 1864. In 1864 he attended the Oregon Institute, and in 1865 the Central School. He was only 12 years old when he enrolled at Willamette University in 1867[159, 444]. He attended there until late 1870, when he moved with his family to Portland, Oregon [180]. In Portland, he attended the Portland Academy and Female Seminary, but his father's job responsibilities brought the family back to Salem in 1871 [181], and J. D. re-enrolled at Willamette University, finishing there in 1874. Following graduation, he went to San Francisco in 1875, and enrolled for a year at Heald's Business College. He returned to Salem, where he served as bookkeeper and delivery man for the McCully meat market [159].
In 1878 J. D's father Asa McCULLY purchased a 635-acre farm in Yamhill County, Oregon. The following year, he invested J. D. with a half-interest in the property, which they ran together [182]. On 2 July 1880 in Salem, J. D. married Lillian Estelle PATTON [445].
Lillian PATTON, the daughter of Thomas McFadden PATTON and Frances Mary COOKE, was born 31 May 1858 in or near Salem [446]. She had lived in the area all her life. At the time of their marriage, J. D. moved back to Salem from the Yamhill farm, and was appointed Assistant Postmaster for Salem. He held the job only a short time [447], the couple moved back to the Yamhill farm briefly, but then in November 1881 moved to Joseph, Union (now, Wallowa) County, Oregon. They sold J. D's interest in the Yamhill farm back to his father [182], and J. D. joined his cousin Frank David McCULLY in the operation of the several McCully mercantile stores in Union County [159]. He also served as Joseph postmaster from 8 February 1882 to 23 July 1883 [448].
In late 1884, J. D., Lillian and daughter Eula returned to Salem, where J. D. was employed in the men's clothing store operated by J. J. MURPHY and J. D.'s brother-in-law Allen B. CROASMAN. He bought Croasman's interest in the store in February 1886, and ran the business until 1889 [159, 449], but then returned to Joseph and once again went into partnership with his cousin Frank D. McCULLY. In addition to the mercantile business, he was cashier for the First Bank of Joseph 1890 to 1896, and often substituted for his replacement cashier in subsequent years [450]. In 1900 he served as one of three directors of Joseph schools [451].
The McCullys left Joseph in 1907. They purchased a ranch near Hood River, Hood River County, Oregon, where they raised fruit and lived until 1929 [453]. In 1925, J. D. acted as receiver for the bank in Condon, Gilliam County, Oregon, and apparently lived there for awhile [452, 457]. Lillian died there 28 December 1929. She had been ill for several years, but the immediate cause of her death was a heart attack brought on by the shock of hearing that her brother, E. Cook PATTON, had died of a heart attack [452, 454].
After Lillian's death, J. D. and daughter Eula McCULLY moved back to Salem, Oregon. He died there 15 December 1941 of a heart attack [455, 456]. Both J. D. and Lillian are buried in the Salem Pioneer Cemetery.
John David McCULLY and Lillian Estelle PATTON had two children:
143. Eula Frances McCULLY born 3 September 1881
144. Russell Alfred McCULLY born 16 July 1886

44. Thomas J. D. McCULLY [Asa-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born 12 December 1857 at Harrisburg, Linn County, Oregon. He was "retarded" in some way (family records not specific), and spent part of his life at a special school at Philadelphia (Media?), Pennsylvania. He was with his parents in Salem, Marion County, Oregon in 1870, but then returned to Pennsylvania, where he died 31 March 1877 [386, 387].

45. Nettie Ellen McCULLY [Asa-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born 19 December 1859 at Harrisburg, Linn County, Oregon. She died there 17 February 1860 of "lung fever," and was buried in the Muddy Creek Cemetery near Harrisburg [315, 316].

46. Minnie Etta Belle McCULLY [Asa-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born 27 November 1860 in Harrisburg, Linn County, Oregon. She died there 1 June 1862 [317]. We don't know where she was buried.

47. Abe Lincoln McCULLY [Asa-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born 22 March 1865 in Salem, Marion County, Oregon. He attended Salem schools [439], and lived with his parents in Salem and at their farm in Yamhill County, Oregon. The family was considered "high society" in Salem, and Abe frequently hosted and attended fashionable parties and dances. Members of the DEARBORN family were often in attendance at these gatherings, including Eliza Hunt ("Ella") DEARBORN. She and Abe were married in Salem 17 May 1892.
Eliza, the daughter of Richard Harold DEARBORN and Helen Azubah FLINT, was born in Salem 3 October 1866, shortly after her family had moved to Salem from Eugene, Oregon. Within six months of their marriage they moved to Portland, where they lived out their lives. Abe worked for the Postal Service, and also was a mail handler for the railroad. He retired from the railway service about 1930 [441, 442]. Abe McCULLY died in a rest home in Oregon City, Clackamas County, Oregon, on 12 December 1945, possibly from the effects of Alzheimer's disease. Ella also died in a rest home after an extended stay, 16 April 1956 in Portland [443]. They are both buried in the McCully plot at the Salem Pioneer Cemetery.
Abe Lincoln McCULLY and Eliza Hunt DEARBORN had one daughter:
145. Sarah Catherine McCULLY born 6 September 1893

48. James Cluggage McCULLY [John-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born 27 August 1853 at Jacksonville, Jackson County, Oregon. He is often identified as the first white child born in Jacksonville, and possibly in all southern Oregon, although some say Walter Gore was born nine months earlier [216, 430]. He attended Jacksonville public schools, graduating from Jacksonville High School, then went on to Willamette University. He owned and herded sheep in the Siskiyou Mountains after graduation [430]. He also worked as a miner. About 1900 he was employed as a federal forest ranger, and worked the Fort Klamath area, Klamath County, Oregon. In August 1903 he was found unconscious in his cabin on the forest, a victim of appendicitis. He was brought to a hotel in Fort Klamath, Oregon, where his sister Issie McCULLY tried to nurse him back to health. He died 24 August 1903, and his body was brought back to Jacksonville, and he was buried in the Jacksonville Cemetery [216]. He never married.

49. Mary Bell McCULLY [John-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born 7 February 1857 at Jacksonville, Jackson County, Oregon. Molly (as she was called) attended Jacksonville schools, then Willamette University. After graduation, she returned to Jacksonville and assisted her mother Jane [MASON] McCULLY teaching school [430]. On 19 July 1877, in Jacksonville, She married John W. MERRITT.
John MERRITT, the son of Ebenezer MERRITT and Eliza HILLER, was born 30 October 1846 at Brewerton, Onondaga County, New York. He attended public schools at Oswego, New York, State Normal and Training School of Oswego, New York, and the University of Syracuse [431, 432]. He may have taught school in New York State after graduation, but we haven't found any specific records of him until August 1875 when he arrived in Jacksonville as the new school principal [432]. He held that position for nine years [431], as well as tutoring individual students [200]. When his contract expired in 1883, he opened a mercantile store in Jacksonville [431].
Molly MERRITT died 17 January 1884 in Jacksonville, apparently unexpectedly [433], although it has been suggested that she never fully recovered from childbirth the previous summer [430]. She was buried in the Jacksonville Cemetery.
John MERRITT continued to operate his business in Jacksonville until about 1887, when he relocated to Central Point, Jackson County, Oregon [431]. In December 1891 he married 2nd Genevieve Elizabeth MOORE. "Jennie, the daughter of William MOORE and Rebecca _____, was born in September 1868 at Clinton, Henry County, Missouri. She came to Jacksonville with her parents ca 1875. She was educated in Jacksonville schools, and taught school in Sams Valley, Jackson County, for several years [434.435].
John continued to operate his mercantile business in Central Point until 1916. He served in the Oregon State Legislature in 1890 and 1892, and reportedly had various land and business ventures throughout the Rogue River Valley [431]. That he was successful is shown in his being listed among the richer people in Jackson County, those who paid more than $2000 in taxes in 1902; John paid $9485 [436].
In 1916 the Merritts moved to Gold Hill, Jackson County, Oregon, where John died 15 June 1921 [431]. He is buried in the Jacksonville Pioneer Cemetery. Jennie had moved to Medford, Jackson County, Oregon by 1930, where she was living alone [437]. She died in Medford 17 October 1936 [435], and was buried in the Jacksonville Pioneer Cemetery.

148. Esther Louise MERRITT born 1893

50. Isadora McCULLY [John-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born 16 December 1859 in Jacksonville, Jackson County, Oregon. "Issie," as she was called, lived most of her life in Jacksonville. She attended Jacksonville schools, and started at Willamette University, but contracted diptheria and had to return home [200]. She never married, but took in boarders and made a home for her nephew George Hiller MERRITT most of his life until her death. She died 27 December 1944 at the Oregon State Hospital, Salem, Marion County, Oregon, of "senile psychosis, with deterioration" [438]. She is buried in the Jacksonville Pioneer Cemetery.

51. Mary Louisa LOVE [Mary Jane-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born 5 October 1853 at Harrisburg, Linn County. "Lou" LOVE, as she was generally known, lived her entire life at Harrisburg, where she had a dress making shop and farmed with her husband, Charles Edward MAXSON [388, 389, 390].
Charles MAXSON was born 22 March 1850 at Waupun, Fond Du Lac County, Wisconsin, the son of Charles S. MAXSON and Augusta F. PAINE [391]. He left home before 1870, and ca 1876 married Elizabeth BROWN, probably in Howard County, Iowa (but possibly in Klickitat County, Washington) [392]. Elizabeth, the daughter of Charles BROWN and Mary Ann _____, was born in Passaic County, New Jersey, in February 1858, and moved with her family to Cresco, Howard County, Iowa before June 1870 [393, 394, 395]. After their marriage, Charles and Elizabeth lived in Texas (a son was born there 24 August 1877), but by June 1880 Charles was working as a carpenter in Fairfield, Solano County, California [396], and Elizabeth and their son were in Klickitat County, Washington, with the family of Elizabeth's sister, Mary [BROWN] OWEN [397]. They divorced shortly after that (no record found), and Elizabeth married 2nd W. W. AYER. She was living in Seattle, King County, Washington in 1900 [393].
Charles MAXSON apparently met Lou LOVE in Harrisburg, Oregon, while there on a bridge building project [399]. They married in Harrisburg on 16 May 1883, at which time Charles was identified as a resident of Spokane Falls, Washington Territory [398]. Charles took over the operation of the LOVE farm at Harrisburg, and the couple lived there the rest of their lives.

He is buried in the Masonic Cemetery at Harrisburg.

54. Alice Jane LOVE [Mary Jane-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born 29 December 1859 at Harrisburg, Linn County, Oregon. She lived with her parents and siblings in Harrisburg, attended local schools until age 16, then helped her mother manage their boarding house [404]. About 1899, she married Charles BELMONT, and they moved to Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon. They soon separated, and eventually divorced [405]. Alice continued to live in Portland, running a rooming house for nine years, and then working as a private nurse. A nursing assignment brought her back to Harrisburg about 1924, where she decided to stay [404]. She died of pneumonia in nearby Albany, Linn County, Oregon (probably at a hospital?) on 22 December 1937 [406]. She died intestate, her entire estate being a house and lot in Harrisburg [407]. She and Charles BELMONT had no children.

55. Douglas LOVE [Mary Jane-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born 10 February 1861 at Harrisburg, Linn County, Oregon. He spent his entire life at Harrisburg, living with his parents and later with one or more of his siblings. He never married. He worked as a bridge builder for the Southern Pacific Railway for 35 years, and also did road work for local governments [409, 410]. He died 11 January 1934 in hospital at Albany, Linn County, Oregon, of chronic nephritis (kidney disease). He was buried in the Workman Cemetery at Harrisburg [411].

56. Carrie Gertrude LOVE [Mary Jane-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born 26 July 1864 at Harrisburg, Linn County, Oregon. She lived with her family at Harrisburg until 1 September 1883, when she married William Lee LISTER [263]. He was born 22 April 1862 in
Albany, Linn County, Oregon, the son of William LISTER and Rebecca [DANIELS] TOMPKINS [412]. Some time before 1870, his father died, his mother remarried (another William LISTER!], and the family moved from Albany to Harrisburg [389].
In 1885, Carrie and William moved to Pomeroy, Garfield County, Washington Territory, where William worked as a printer at least through 1887 [413]. By 1895, they were living in Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon [414], but soon returned to Harrisburg, where Carrie died 5 August 1896 [415, 416]. She was buried in the Workman Cemetery in Harrisburg.
In Portland on 27 November 1898, William LISTER married 2nd Allie WATERS. Allie, daughter of Abner WATERS and Sarah McCARTNEY, was born in August 1871 maybe in Harrisburg, Linn County, Oregon, but possibly in Umatilla County, Oregon. She was with her family in eastern Oregon (Umatilla and Union counties) from around 1871 to 1875; in Salem, Marion County, Oregon, in 1875; and in Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon, until 1884, when the family moved to Burns, Harney County, Oregon. At some time, she returned to Portland, where she married William LISTER. After their marriage, they continued to live in Portland, where William was employed as a grocer. He died there 3 January 1916, of arteriosclerosis, age 53 years 1 month 11 days [412]. He was buried in Greenwood Cemetery in Portland.
Allie [WATERS] LISTER remained in Portland at least until January 1920, when she was living with her step-son Charles Roth LISTER [417]. I have been unable to find records of her after that date. She is not buried in the Greenwood Cemetery with the other LISTERS.
William LISTER and Allie WATERS had no children. William LISTER and Carrie LOVE had two sons:
151. Charles Roth LISTER born 25 November 1884
152. Clare Douglas LISTER born 2 October 1885

57. Frank Marion McCULLY [William-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born 2 October 1857 at Harrisburg, Linn County, Oregon. His family left Harrisburg about 1866. It has been reported that they lived in Independence, Marion County, for a few years, but we haven't been able to confirm that [236]. By 1870 they were living in Salem, Marion County, Oregon [237]. Frank attended Salem public schools and then Williamette University, from which he graduated in 1877 with a Bachelor of Science degree [421]. Before graduation, he taught in the Salem public schools for two years, and also worked for the "Oregon Statesman" newspaper for nine months [422]. In 1877 he went to Dayton, Columbia County, Washington Territory, where he taught in the public school for three months, then was hired as principal of Dayton schools for the next term [422, 423]. In November 1878 he bought the "Columbia Chronicle" newspaper, and became its editor. He sold his interest in the paper in May 1879, but continued as editor until the spring of 1881. January 1879 he became superintendent of schools for Columbia County. In February 1879 he joined the newly organized Columbia Mounted Infantry, the first regular militia in the area [422].
While in Dayton, on 6 April 1880, he married Emma CARSON, daughter of Isaac CARSON and Mary Ann EASTES. Emma was born at Shasta, Shasta County, California, on 23 July 1863 [424]. About 1865, she moved with her family to Steilacoom, Pierce County, Washington Territory, where in 1870 her father was County Sheriff [425]. Sometime prior to 1880, they had moved to Dayton, Columbia County, where her father was farming in 1880 and 1883 [426, 427].
Frank continued his job as Columbia County superintendent of schools until December 1881. Then, a change in the boundaries of counties left them living outside the new limits of Columbia County, and he lost his job. In 1882, he and Emma moved to Pomeroy, Garfield County, Washington Territory, where he purchased a half-interest in the "Pomeroy Republican" and became its editor. He also became the school principal in Pomeroy [422]. They lived there until about 188 [428], when they moved to Joseph, Wallowa County, Oregon, where Frank became editor of the "Wallowa Chieftain. He also served as superintendent of Wallowa County schools from about 1889 to 1892 [156, 429].
About 1892, they moved to Ellensburg, Kittias County, Washington, where Frank was principal of the Ellensburg schools. In 1901 he was appointed Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction for the State of Washington, and they moved to Olympia, Thurston County, Washington. He was later (1905?) promoted to Assistant Superintendent, a position he held when he died in Olympia 12 March 1907, from complications following surgery for gall stone removal [421, 429]. He was buried in the Masonic Memorial Park, Tumwater, Thurston County, Washington.
After Frank's death, Emma continued to live in Olympia, first with her son Merritt McCULLY, then later by herself. She died there 2 February 1944, and is buried in the Masonic cemetery at Tumwater.
Frank M. McCULLY and Emma CARSON had three children:
153. Vesta Margaret McCULLY born 6 November 1883
154. Unidentified McCULLY born ca 1885
155. Merritt Leon McCULLY born 13 May 1886


58. Margaret McCULLY [William-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born in 1859 in Harrisburg, Linn County, Oregon. She died there 13 February 1860 [318].

59. Emma Belle McCULLY [William-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born 10 August 1861 at Harrisburg, Linn County, Oregon. Her family left Harrisburg about 1866. It has been reported that they lived in Independence, Marion County, for a few years, but we haven't been able to confirm that [236]. By 1870 they were living in Salem, Marion County, Oregon [237].
Emma's mother Margaret [CANNON] McCULLY died in Salem 28 April 1877. That same year, her father moved the family to Brownsville, Linn County, Oregon, where he went into the flour milling business with John M. WATERS [236]. In Brownsville, she met James Nelson COSHOW, who she married 5 November 1882 [263].
James COSHOW, the son of Oliver Perin COSHOW and Sarah Elizabeth COCHRAN, was born near Harrisburg, Linn County, Oregon, 29 September 1859. Within a few years, the family had moved to Brownsville, where James grew up and attended school. He was employed as a farm laborer prior to his marriage to Emma. They lived in Brownsville until about 1883, when they moved with Emma's family to Joseph, Wallowa County, Oregon, and James worked with Emma's father William H. McCULLY operating the area's first flour mill. The mill burned some time after 1886 [236], and they returned to Brownsville, where they lived out the rest of their lives. Brownsville censuses in 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930 show James variously employed as druggist, lumber yard manager, and farmer.
James COSHOW died in Brownsville 14 December 1933 after a long illness [419]. Emma followed 19 March 1938 [420]. Both were buried in the Brownsville Pioneer Cemetery.
James COSHOW and Emma McCULLY had seven children:
156. Merle Vera COSHOW born 16 May 1884
157. Owen William COSHOW born December 1886
158. Fayne N. COSHOW born December 1890

160. Robert Delos COSHOW born 23 September 1894
161. Unidentified COSHOW born ca 1896
162. Margaret COSHOW born 10 June 1899

60. Elsie M. McCULLY [William-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born ca 1 October 1864 at Harrisburg, Linn County, Oregon [418]. Her family left Harrisburg about 1866. It has been reported that they lived in Independence, Marion County, for a few years, but we haven't been able to confirm that [236]. By 1870 they were living in Salem, Marion County, Oregon [237].
Elsie's mother Margaret [CANNON] McCULLY died in Salem 28 April 1877. That same year, her father moved the family to Brownsville, Linn County, Oregon, where he went into the flour milling business with John M. WATERS [236]. About 1883 the family moved to Joseph, Wallowa County, Oregon, where her father ran the area's first flouring mill [236]. It was while living at Joseph that Elsie died 17 January 1886 [418]. We haven't been able to determine the cause of death, or her burial location.

61. William O. McCULLY [William-3, John-2, Samuel-1] was born about December 1867, probably in Salem, Marion County, Oregon. He was alive in Salem in June 1870, but I can find no further records of him [319].

62. John Good McCULLY [George-3, Samuel-2, Samuel-1] was born 23 July 1852 at Sussex, Kings County, New Brunswick. He died 3 April 1853, and is buried in the Pioneer Cemetery at Penobsquis [61].

63. George Marshall McCULLY [George-3, Samuel-2, Samuel-1] was born in 1855 at Sussex, Kings County, New Brunswick. He apparently lived his entire life in the area. I can find no evidence that he ever married. In 1881 he was working as a farm laborer for George GOOD in Studholm Parish, Kings County [83]. He died 18 June 1887, and is buried in the Pioneer Cemetery at Penobsquis [61].

64. Sarah McCULLY [Horatio-3, Samuel-2, Samuel-1] was born ca 1846. She was alive in August 1860, when her grandfather Samuel McCully's will was probated, and she inherited one sofa, one bureau, two hard wood tables, one dozen chairs, and two beds and bedding [57]. I have found no records of her after that date.

65. Albert John McCULLY [Horatio-3, Samuel-2, Samuel-1] was born in July 1847 in Sussex, Kings County, New Brunswick. In August 1860 his grandfather Samuel McCULLY's will gave him all Samuel's livestock (8 cows, 20 sheep, 2 horses) and all his personal property [57]. He apparently farmed and worked with horses for awhile in Kings County, but by 1869 he had moved to Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts, where on 3 March 1870 he married Mary Elizabeth ("Lizzie") FELTON [64]. Mary, the daughter of Francis and Sarah E. (__) FELTON, was born in Salem 9 June 1848 [65].
Albert and Mary lived in Salem until ca 1874, with Albert earning their living as a currier. Albert moved his family back to New Brunswick, perhaps to take over the operation of his father's farm [66]. I haven't determined if his return was by appeal from the family, or if he wanted to move back to Canada. In any event, they stayed in Studholme Parish, Kings County, until 1883, when they once again moved to Salem, Massachusetts [68]. They lived at several locations in Salem over the next 25 years or more, with Albert variously employed as currier and janitor [69, 70]. Albert was not enumerated in the 1910 Salem census, but Mary was there with two of their children, listed as head of household but as "married," not widowed [71]. A 1926 obituary for Albert's brother William Mortimer McCULLY identifies Albert as living in Salem [72], but I can't find either him or Mary in the 1920 and 1930 Salem censuses (or anywhere else in Massachusetts). I haven't yet determined when they died, or where they were buried.

66. Mary Jane McCULLY [Horatio-3, Samuel-2, Samuel-1] was born ca 1849 in Kings County, New Brunswick. On 16 November 1872 in Kings or Albert County, she married Sanford Boyce STEEVES. Sanford was born June 1845, probably in Albert County. The couple lived at Coverdale, Albert County, until ca 1881, when they moved to Moncton, Westmorland County, New Brunswick. They lived lived there, and farmed, until 1889, when they moved to Fargo, Cass County, North Dakota. They were still both alive in Fargo in 1930. I have no records of their death dates or burial locations.

67. Horatio McCULLY [Horatio-3, Samuel-2, Samuel-1] was reportedly born in 1851 in Kings County, New Brunswick [73]. There is room for him in the family tree at this date, but I can find no information on him, either as Horatio or as Nelson (his likely middle name). He is apparently not buried in any of the local cemeteries, and his name does not appear as a surviving brother in the 1926 obituary for William Mortimer McCULLY [72]. He apparently died young, or left the area as was out of touch with the family.

68. Julia E. McCULLY [Horatio-3, Samuel-2, Samuel-1] was born 7 April 1853 in Havelock Parish, Kings County, New Brunswick. On 6 March 1878, a marriage license was issued in Kings County for her and Charles Henry GAILEY Jr., of Studholm Parish [74]. Charles was born 14 November 1840 in Kings County, the son of Charles GAILEY born in County Donegal, Ireland, ca 1794 [61]. The family apparently lived and farmed at Millstream, Kings County, their entire married life [75, 76, 83], with Charles dying there in 1909 [61]. Some time after Charles' death, Julia reportedly moved to Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts, and was living there when her brother William died in 1926 [72]. I could not find her in the 1910, 1920 or 1930 censuses for Massachusetts. She died in 1936, perhaps in Massachusetts, but she and Charles are both buried in the Queensville Cemetery, Studholme Parish, Kings County, New Brunswick [61]

69. William Mortimer McCULLY [Horatio-3, Samuel-2, Samuel-1] was born 1855 in Havelock Parish, Kings County, New Brunswick. His early life was apparently spent farming with his father and (later) with his brother Albert. In 1877, Albert sold the farm to William, and moved to Massachusetts. William continued to farm until ca 1882, then he sold out and moved to Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts [66, 77]. In Salem, he worked variously as a machinest, janitor and "driver" [70, 71]. For the 1910 Federal census, he was listed in the home of his niece Agnes (GAILEY) CAMERON, but I don't know whether he was living with them, or just visiting [71]. In January 1920, he was living in Worcester, Worcester County, New Brunswick, where his occupation was listed as "fireman" [77]. He died 23 May 1926 at Salem. His body was subsequently returned to New Brunswick, where he was buried in the Pioneer Cemetery at Penobsquis, Kings County [61, 71]. He never married.

70. Melborne McCULLY [Horatio-3, Samuel-2, Samuel-1] was born 1856 in Havelock Parish, Kings County, New Brunswick, and died there 1860. He is buried in the Pioneer Cemetery at Penobsquis [61].

71. George Howard McCully [Horatio-3, Samuel-2, Samuel-1] was born 5 September 1860 in Kings County, New Brunswick. He married 1st 9 August 1894 Mary Jane DOYLE [101], who was born 1869 and died 24 December 1895. She is buried at the Petitcodiac United Baptist Cemetery, Petitcodiac, Westmorland County, New Brunswick [85]. He married 2nd 29 June 1898 Minnie WILSON [101], who was born 13 March 1867 and died 1962 [85]. The family lived at Petitcodiac, where George farmed and sold agricultural implements [84]. George died at Petitcodiac 14 March 1942, and he and Minnie are buried at the Maplewood Cemetery, Petitcodiac [85].

72. Willard McCULLY [Horatio-3, Samuel-2, Samuel-1] was born 1862 in Havelock Parish, Kings County, New Brunswick, and died there in 1887. He is buried in the Pioneer Cemetery at Penobsquis [61]. I've been unable to find any additional information.

73. Fred Samuel McCULLY [Horatio-3, Samuel-2, Samuel-1] was born ca 1867 in Havelock Parish, Kings County, New Brunswick. He probably worked as a farmer until 1886, when he moved to the United States [86]. On 25 June 1890 at Clinton, Worchester County, Massachusetts, he married Roxie B. FOSS. Roxie, born 1869 in Maine, was the daughter of Orestes B. and Adelia M. (___) FOSS [87]. The couple lived in Fitchburg, Worcester County, Massachusetts until after 1910, Fred being employed as a teamster and a retail salesman [88, 89]. He was naturalized in 1891 [86]. By January 1920, they had moved into Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, where Fred was employed as a meat cutter [86]. He died before May 1926 [72], probably in Boston. Roxie was alive in Boston in 1930 [90]. I have not found information on their death dates or burial locations.
