MCCULLOUGH Family History
This very interesting surname, now widespread in Ulster, is ultimately believed to be of Scottish origin, and an Anglicized form of the Old Scots Gaelic "MacCullaich" or "MacC(h)ullach", son of Cullach, from "Mac", son of, and the personal byname "Cullach", Boar. This wild animal takes a great deal of its significance from Norse mythology, and to it were attributed qualities of Courage and Fertility. Over the centuries, the boar has become associated with Bravery and Perseverance (in fighting), and consequently, "Cullach" would have been bestowed on an illustrious warrior or brave fighter. Early recordings of the surname from Scotland include: Michel Maculagh, who rendered homage to the King of England in 1296; Sir Patrick McCoulagh, charter witness in Galloway (1354); Helise Makcoulach, who married in 1478; and Patrick Makcowloch or Mackullouch, vicar of Arbroath, in 1482...Select Audience

My great grandfather was George McCullough. He was originally from Ireland and settled in Kansas. He married Mary Clara and had 2 girls Mildred and Marguerite. My family doesn't seem to know much about him but I'd love to find out more! Please, let me know if any of this sounds familiar to you! Thank you!

My name is Tari York. My 4th great grandfather was Hugh McCullough who was born in 1813 somewhere in County Donegal, Ireland and emigrated to Union County, Pennsylvania arriving in Wilmington, Delaware on June 14, 1833 by way of the ship Cupid. He married Sarah Hillis in 1836, likely in Pennsylvania and they had one son named John in 1837. Sarah remarried in 1845 and was listed as a widow. So from that, we surmise that Hugh died sometime between about 1837 and 1845. That is about all I know of Hugh. Would like to locate his family back in County Donegal before he emigrated.
