General Notes: Husband - Maj. George McCully

---

He served in the Revolutionary War under General Washington, and was an intimate friend of the great commander. He was one of the original members of the Society of the Cincinnati, a man of courage and high principle. After the treaty of peace was concluded with Great Britain, Major McCully was sent in command of a detachment of soldiers to Fort Duquesne to protect the settlers against attacks of the Indians. Afterwards he was appointed assistant commissary-general and intrusted with the duty of establishing Fort Washington (Cincinnati). While in the performance of this duty, he was attacked with fever at the fort and died there. [CRFP, 829]

He was successively ensign, lieutenant and captain, serving in the Second and Third Pennsylvania regiments. He retired January 17, 1782, and was on "half pay" until his death. [CRFP, 947]
