General Notes: Husband - Capt. John McCollough

---

He was a native of Scotland, and was one of the pioneer settlers of Fairview Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, and located on a farm later occupied by his grandson, R. J. McCullough. He was a soldier in the War of 1812. After his sons were large enough to attend to the management of the farm, he went to Butler, where he engaged in the manufacture of pottery. He afterward lived in Millerstown. [HBC 1883, 380]

The McCollough family was established in Butler County at a very early day by Captain John McCollough, a native of Virginia, who gained his title through service in the War of 1812.

He was of Scotch-Irish ancestry, and was born in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. His parents were pioneers of that locality and his father a practicing physician. During the absence of the latter from home, his wife was murdered by the hired man and the cabin burned to the ground. Young John escaped into the woods, and afterwards found a home with a German family, with whom he lived some years and became quite proficient in the German language. He served as an Indian scout on the frontier during the troubles with the savages, and was afterwards a captain in the War of 1812. As an illustration of the hardships endured by these brave defenders of the nation, he often related how, on one occasion, the soldiers of his company, worn out by forced marches, stretched themselves on the damp ground to sleep and in the morning found their clothing and hair frozen fast to the ground. Late in the 1700's or early in the 1800's he and his wife settled in Fairview township, Butler County, where he entered a large tract of land. He subsequently removed to Butler, resided in that borough for many years, but finally located at Millerstown. He was an elder in the English Lutheran church, a man of clear judgment, and took a prominent part in the public affairs of his times. [HBC 1895, 983]
