General Notes: Husband - William B. McCullough

---

About 1831 he set forth from Ireland to establish a new home in America. The sailing vessel on which the family crossed the Atlantic was destined for Philadelphia, but after a long and tempestous voyage was unable to proceed up the river to that port on account of the river being frozen over, and thus the passengers disembarked at the port of New York City. He had been a farmer and manufacturer of linen in Ireland, and after he came with his family to Philadelphia, he there found employment as a weaver until the following spring, when he brought his family to Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, making the overland trip with teams and wagons. In the Beechwoods he purchased from the venerable Judge Heath a tract of five hundred acres. He made a clearing on which he erected a little log house of one room. In Ireland he had been in good financial circumstances, and after William B. McCullough arrived in America he received information that in his native land there had been left to him an appreciable sum of money. He finally decided to make the return voyage to Ireland for the purpose of securing this inheritance, and he proceeded to Philadelphia on foot, traversing the distance at the rate of fifty miles a day. He then sailed for Ireland, obtained his inheritance, and after a short visit returned to the home in the United States. With indefatigable industry he continued the work of clearing his land, and in this herculean task his sons gave him effective aid, each of the sons eventually becoming the owner of a portion of the large landed estate, Archibald receiving the center, or homestead, farm.
