There were three McCully groups in Colchester County in the late 1700s.
It is usually assumed that all three families originated in Northern
Ireland and came to Nova Scotia with the McNutt settlers, but only one
branch (*Samuel of Onslow*) is definitely known to have been in Nova
Scotia before 1770. It is also logical to assume some family
relationship between the three groups, but the connecting links are so
far missing. For convenience, I'll call the earliest for sure heads of
the three groups *Samuel and Elizabeth of Onslow*, *William and Izabella
(Wilson) of Londonderry*, and *Samuel and (maybe Jane) of Londonderry*.The Samuel McCully family detailed in Aiton's "History of Sussex" (New
Brunswick) are descendants of *Samuel of Onslow*. They had children
Joseph, Samuel (later of Sussex), and Elizabeth. The elder Samuel died
about the time daughter Elizabeth was born, and his wife Elizabeth
McCully was named an "original grantee" of Londonderry. Although the
family had land in Londonderry, they probably never lived there. Most of
this family went to New Brunswick, but some of Joseph's descendants
stayed in the Truro-Onslow area.*William of Londonderry* was first recorded in the 1770 census, although
he was probably around earlier. He married Izabella Wilson, the daughter
of other Londonderry grantees. He is likely the William McCully
considered an "orignial grantee" at Londonderry, although his descendant
Stacey (McCully) Culgin of Debert speculates that there may have been an
elder William in Londonderry. This elder William is only known from
family stories. Many of this family stayed in Colchester County,
although one of the better known was Samuel, son of William and Izabella,
who was a Baptist minister at Amherst, Cumberland Co. One of Samuel's
sons was Jonathan, one of the "fathers of confederation".*Samuel of Londonderry* sold his grant land in Londonderry before the
final (and apparently only surviving) list of grantees was made up. He
later bought other Londonderry land (actually, at Great Village), but
died about 1786. His wife was possibly Jane "McCullough", second wife of
Henry Hayward of Windsor, Hants Co. His three sons - William, John and
Samuel - spent part of their youth in Horton, Kings County, before moving
on to New Brunswick after 1810. John and Samuel were both living in
Sussex,New Brunswick, during the same period that Samuel, son of *Samuel
of Onslow* was living there.Sandy Wilbur
swilbur@netcom.com"Samuel MCCULLY --- Whose ancestors came from Northern Ireland and settled
in Onslow, NS during the 1770's, arrived in Dutch Valley soon after the turn
of the century and settled on the farm presently owned by Lloyd Hunt. His
son, Squire Robert S. Mccully, was born in 1816 and died on the homestead in
1889 after a long life devoted to the duties imposed on him as a member of
the County Magistrates' Court and as an active member of the Methodist
Church. Mr McCully frequently acted as lay preacher in the days when
missionaries could not keep appointments on their large circuits. His four
sons were well known citizens. Alonzo D. was a Methodist preacher, Frank
A., a lawyer, and Oscar an eye specialist. All were graduates of the
University of New Brunswick. Silas remained on the farm until he became
secretay of the Sussex Cheese and Butter Company, a post he held for half a
century."#1622 Robert H. McCULLY was said to be the grandnephew of Jonathan
McCULLY, one of the fathers of Confederation. Jonathan was the son of
Samuel and Sarah (PIPES) McCULLY, and the grandson of William and
Isabella (WILSON) McCULLY. If the reference is accurate, then the line
you have would descend from one of Jonathan's brothers. He is known to
have had five brothers. Cyrus moved to Ontario just after getting
married, and Richard died young. That leaves William, born 18 Jan 1805
but who presumably never married (that could be wrong; I know there are
other errors in my source material on this family), Samuel (b. 17 Jan
1807) who did not have any Williams among his known children, and Robert
(b. 28 Apr 1813), who apparently married too late to have sired anyone in
*your* line, and who allegedly had William among his children who would
be too young to be #5776 on your list. Consequently, it looks like
Samuel or William are the only likely candidates to be the
greatgranduncle of Robert H. McCully.Adding at the start of your list, we now have.
1. William McCULLY b. 1746 in Ireland; came to Londonderry, Nova Scotia,
in the late 1760s. Married Isabella WILSON, dau. of another Londonderry
settler from Ireland. They had 9 children, including Samuel.
2. Samuel McCULLY b. 24 Jul 1773 Londonderry, N.S. Married Esther
PIPES in 1799, who d. 22 Jun 1824 at Amherst, Cumberland Co. Samuel died
in Amherst 12 Aug 1849, where he was a Baptist minister for many years.
Their children were:
3. Cyrus McCULLY b. 22 Sep 1800, moved to Ontario early.
3. Elizabeth McCULLY b. 1 Oct 1802
3. William McCULLY b. 18 Jan 1805, shipbuilder; buried Pioneer
Cemetery, Amherst. Allegedly never married, but a possible candidate
for your line.
3. Samuel McCULLY b. 17 Jan 1807 - another possible candidate for
your line.
3. Jonathan McCULLY 25 Jul 1809, "Father of Confederation"
3. Mary McCULLY b. 12 Jun 1811.
3. Robert McCULLY b. 28 Apr 1813 - probably too young for your line.
3. Ester McCULLY b. 28 Mar 1815.
3. Isabella McCULLY b. 23 Apr 1817
3. Hannah McCULLY b. 26 Dec 1820
3. Richard McCULLY b. 17 Sep 1823; d. 22 Jul 1829.4. William McCULLY (#1 on your list)
