Notes for JAMES D. MCCULLOUGH:
THE DESCENDANTS OF ALEXANDER McCULLOUGH OF HENRY COUNTY, VIRGINIA, 1983, by
William R. Rushing, pp..9-10
"James D. McCULLOUGH (my great-grandfather) was born Feb. 13, 1807, in Henry
County, VA.He lived and died on the old home place about six miles out of
Murfreesboro where he farmed and acquired other land.He was considered well
off when he died as he left each of his children a farm or other valuables
(see will in the Appendix). He was married three times, first to Catherine G.
McFADDEN, Dec. 16, 1830, in Williamson County, Tennessee.She must have died
or run away; there is no further reference to her in his family Bible.Their
issue:Susan Carolina, Sara Jane F.Jimmie's second married to Mary DAVIS
Feb. 13, 1838, was unhappy.They had one girl, Isabella, and separated.He
is reported to have said she was so mean he couldn't live with her.James'
third wife was a widow, Nancy C. YANDELL ZACHARY, born Jan. 31, 1818, who had
one daughter, Martha. James and Nancy were married Dec. 26, 1843, and James
raised Nancy's daughter as one of his own.James' and Nancy's issue:Mary
Ann Elizabeth (Mollie), John Wesley, James Porter, George Dilliston, Nancy
Alice. Alexander, Sr., died intestate and his son Isaac was appointed
administrator of the estate.James evidently acquired the old home place of
Alexander, Sr., as well as other of his holdings from the other heirs.Alex,
Sr., died July 20, 1892 [this is incorrect -- it is James D. McCullough's
death date], Susannah sometime later.James died July 20, 1892, and Nancy
died Dec. 31, 1888.The latter two are both buried in Evergreen Cemetery in
Murfreesboro, Rutherford County, Tennessee. The 1860 census of Rutherford
County lists Nancy Alice as 3 months old; also as a part of James' household
a Nancy NEWMAN, age 58, Frank, age 20, and Cat (female), age 19.The latter
two are assumed to by Nancy NEWMAN's children.Who she was is not known,
possibly a nurse for the baby and help for Nancy McCULLOUGH who is listed as
age 41, somewhat old for bearing children.James is listed as age 57.The
1870 census lists a William, age 13, and a James WHITE, age 48, the latter
born in England,as part of the household.No relationship is known for the
two."
