I write to say that agter rather a long haul I have found the Will of Henry Eustace McCULLOH. It is dated 1st Nov. 1803 and was proved at London in April 1812 by Udell McCULLOH his widow and relict. An abstract, including an abstract also df the Estate Duty records, is enclosed, You will no doubt be much interested in all this (as I was), not least by the reference in the first Codicil to the 2600,000 compensation paid by the U.S:A. and in which H.E. McC, hoped to share. It looks as though he had not received any of it by the time he died as'the Estate Duty records show that his effects were 'Sworn under 23,500'. In the light of the second codicil we do not know.where Henry Eustace was buried. Looks as though it might well be St. John at Hackney, in which parish I think itA s that Clapton, Middx lies. However, his Memorial Inscription, if any , could be informative and I will try to find it. Udell might also be buried in the same grave. I have called up the original of Henry Eustace's Will as I feel sure you would like to have a photo -copy of it. I will order one and let you have it when it comes to hand - this may take about 6 weeks. TheVill and Codicils are quite short and so the copy should not be too wxpensive.

For my part I incline to the view that the James who died in Rowan Countyin 1810' and whom I estimate was born (in America?) about 1750 is the James referred to in Henry's Will of 1779. Our problem is that that Will does not define what relationship (if any) that James was to him (Henry McCULLOH). I think the answer (if there is one to be found) probably lies in America.

Carolina, T.S.A. 27103• 3rd February, 1982 Dear Mrs. Eidson, Many thanks for your letter of 12th November last and for details of the information you found from your State Archives. My two sons decided to get married within six weeks of each other in October and November last, then there was Christmas and now we have a Rail strike, all of which have made their various contributions to delaying my work. Also, I shall be abroad from 8th February until 23rd March, so I have been trying hard during the past few weeks to get this report away to you before I go. I enclose the following individual reports, photocopies, etc, with comments:- Fo. Mc.10 - This reports a search of St. John at Hackney, Burials, which found Henry Eustace buried there 29th February, 1812, aged 69. This age must in error as it would put his date of birth at 1742. However, on the evidence before us, his admission to Middle Temple in 1757; his being called to the Bar in 1760 and his going to America in 1740 as an infant, must, I think, be taken together to mean that he was born about 1?38, which fits with information.we have about his brother James and sister Penelope, both of whom it seems, must have been born in America. This folio also reports that I was unable to find an Obituary Notice for him in "The Gentleman's Magazine". Fo. Mc.11 - I had a look for a Will of Henry Eustace's widow, Udall, but did not find any out to 1838. But, of course, we have no idea how old Udall was. If she was a young woman when enry Eustace married her in 1?90, she could have survived until something like 1845/50 perhaps, though this seems a bit unlikely. How- ever, more research will be needed to find her. Fo. Mc.12 - As promised in mine of 31st October last, I called up the original A & B Wikl of Henry Eustace and a -photocopy of it is at this folio number Mc. 12/A. This is interesting on several counts among which are, first of course, it contains his signature and, secondly, it was sealed with an Armorial Seal.

Eidson. on the background of Henry Eustace and his father. in mine of 19th A I believe, as I mentioned August, 1981, that the principal object of your attention should be James MCCULLOH, whose Will, dated June, 181+, was proved in 1816 in Rowan County. Do you know his age at death and where he is buried? If not can You discover? His age at death would enable us to form a fairly accurate estimate of his date of birth and this would help identification. As I understand it, you do not know, at this time, whether that James was born in America or was an immigrant. Do you know whether his marriage took place in America? I presume you have not, so far, managed to discover this. Did you manage to date the "Life and Correspondence of James IREDELL"? The reason why I ask is because those Memoirs mentioned on page 5, a James MCCULLOH (son of William) "now of Camdey near Dundalk in Ireland.... who is yet a bachelor". Looking at a sketch pedigree of McCULLO(C)H I compiled from those Memoirs, I wondered if the James'who died in Rowan County in 1816 was the James of Camdey. The date of "now of*Camdey" and "yet a bachelor" would help to prove or disprove that idea. An account for the researches dealt with in this letter is enclosed. I will not do anything more until I have your observations and fresh direc- tions. With best wishes for 1982, Yours sincerely, Will. l� W. J. F.

Carolina, T.S.A. 27103. 3rd February, 1982 Dear Mrs. Eidson, Many thanks for your letter of 12th November last and for details of the information you found from your State Archives. My two sons decided to get married within six weeks of each other in October and November last, then there was Christmas and now we have a Rail strike, all of which have made their various contributions to delaying my work. Also, I shall be abroad from 8th February until 23rd March, so I have been trying hard during the past few weeks to get this report away to you before I go. V V I enclose the following individual reports, photocopies, etc, with 4- comments:- Fo. Mc.10 - This reports a search of St. John at Hackney, Burials, which found Henry Eustace buried there 29th February, 1812, aged 69. This age must in error as it would put his date of birth at 1742. However, on the evidence before us, his admission to N. Middle Temple in 1?57; his being called to the Bar in 1760 and his going to America in 1740 as an infant, must, I think, be taken together to mean that he was born about 1738, which fits with information.we have about his brother James and sister ?' Penelope, both of whom it seems, must have been born in America. 0 --- This folio.also reports that I was unable to find an Obituary �-.. Notice for him in "The Gentleman's Magazine". Fo. Mc.11 - I had a look for a Will of Henry Eustace's widow, Udall, but ( did not find any out to 1838. But, of course, we have no idea how old Udall was. If she was a young woman when enry Eustace Z 0 married her in 1?90, she could have survived unti something like 1845/50 perhaps, though this seems a bit unlikely. How - ;`n ` ever, more research will be needed to find her. Fo. Mc.12 - As promised in mine of 31st October last, I called up the original A & B Will of Henry Eustace and a•photocopy of it is at this folio � number Mc. 12/A. This is interesting on several counts among which are, first of course, it contains his signature cJ -C) and, secondly, it was sealed with an Armorial Seal. This was Davie County t .. .,,, uiy Mocksvillc NO U Y - 2 - Mrs. Alice H. Eidson. rather damaged and I could not decipher all of it but a sketch of what I could make out is attached. The Heraldic Charge is "a Fret Engrailled", the Crest appeared to be "An Arm Throwing an Arrow" and part of the Motto read "...... Animo". Comparison of these blazoned details with those recorded in "Burkes General Armory" for McCULLOCH (see photocopy of Burke, page 637 herewith), showed that, whilst the Arms of the Seal do not match exactly with any of those given in Burke, they are very -similar. The noteworthy point being that all the Burke Arms are associated with McCULLOCHs of Scotland and does appear to strengthen Henry Eustace's connection through his father, with the James of Grogan in Ireland, who, according to the IREDELL Memoirs, was a descendant of some Scottish McCULLOCHs. However, whilst this is all "good stuff" and interesting, I do not think it helps us " directly at this time, but we should keep it in mind. Fo. Mc.14 - I then tried to find Henry Eustace3s letter of July, 1803, mentioned in your State Archives reference to PRO -T.79/115. I examined first, PRO references A012,/34, A012/117 and A012/109, all of which referred to original records regarding Henry Eustace's dealings with the American Loyalist Claims Commission in London, circa 1783. At the folio mentioned in the margin, I give details of those of my findings which I felt were of most interest to you. I did photocopy pages 224 to 232 of A012/334 but this is bulky and I do not think it is worth the cost of mailing it to you at this stage. I did not find Henry Eustace's Diploma amongst the papers, nor any document giving details of his place and date of birth and education in England. Fo. Mc -15 - A search was made in PRO -T.79/115 and amongst the photocopies of letters in that file of Office Copies of Letters of 1803, was the one from Henry Eustace to Mr. Hay of the American Loyalist Claims Commission, dated 1st July;. 1803 (Mc. 15/2), saying he was enclosing his Diplima "from which will appear my birth and educa- tion in England". I have again checked with the Librarian at Middle Temple but they repeat that they have no information about Henry Eustace other than that given in their letter of 22nd July, 1981 (Fo. Mc/3). I must confess that, even if they had had a copy of Henry Eustace's Diploma, I would not have thought that it would, itself, have recorded the information he said and which we seek. I think it might be worth a further search in PRO/AO13/117 and I will do this after my return here at the end of March, if you wish. So, in spite of quite a lot more effort, find a statement about Henry Eustace's "birth and However, at this stage, I think we should avoid mo we have not been able to education in England". re than modest expenditure pavks -3- Mrs. Alice H. Eidson. on the background of Henry Eustace and his father. I believe, as I mentioned in mine of 19th August, 1981, that the principal object of your attention should be James MCCULLOH, whose Will, dated June, 1814, was proved in 1816 in Rowan County. Do you know his age at death and where he is buried? If not, can you discover? His age at death would enable us to form a fairly accurate estimate of his date of birth and this would help identification. As I understand it, you do not know, at this time, whether that James was born in America or was an immigrant. Do you know whether his e"N marriage took place in America? I presume you have not, so far, managed to discover this. Did you manage to date the "Life and Correspondence of James IREDELL"? The reason why I ask is because those Memoirs mentioned on page 5, a James McCULLOH (son of William) "now of Camday near Dundalk in Ireland.... who is yet a bachelor". Looking at a sketch pedigree of MCCULLO(C)H I comiled from those Memoirs, I wondered if the James who died in Rowan County in 1916 was the James of Camdey. The date of "now of*Camdey" and "yet a bachelor" would help to prove or disprove that idea. An account for the researches dealt with in this letter is enclosed. I will not do anything more until I have your observations and fresh direc- tions. With best wishes for 1982, Yours sincerely, W. J. F. Fenton.

Eidson, 1135, Kenvood Street, Winston-Salem, N.C. U.S.A. 27103 Dear Mrs. Eidson, Saturday, 31st October 1981 Davie County Public Library Mocksville, NC Thank you for your letter of 2nd September with its enclosures. I write to say that agter rather a long haul I have found the Will of Henry Eustace McCULLOH. It is dated 1st Nov. 1803 and was proved at London in April 1812 by Udell McCULLOH his widow and relict. An abstract, including an abstract also df the Estate Duty records, is enclosed, You will no doubt be much interested in all this (as I was), not least by the reference in the first Codicil to the €600,000 compensation paid by the U.S.A. and in which H.E. McC,hoped to share. It looks as though he had not received any of it by the time he died as the Estate Duty records show that his effects were 'Sworn under 23,500'. In the light of the second codicil we do not know where Hbnry Eustace was buried. Looks as though it might well be St. John at Hackney, in which parish I think itA s that Clapton, Middx lies. However, his Memorial Inscription, if any , could be informative and I will try to find it. Udell might also be buried in the same grave. I have called up the original of Henry Eustace's Will as I feel sure you would like to have a photo -copy of it. I will order one and let you have it when it comes to hand - this may take about 6 weeks. The�yill and Codicils are quite short and so the copy should not be too expensive. Now, of course, this disposes of two earlier questions: (a) Udall or Udell WEST - She was evidently Henry Eustace's wife and they were married in 1790. ..... / (b) ,P AO 2- (b) Extraction of Duplin County Minutes of April 1786 referring to Henry Eustace as dee d If correctly extracted I think this must imply confusion in the original document between Henry Eustace and his father. As we know, Hnfery Eustace was his father's agent in America. (c) Henry Eustace's Will does not mention any children of his. We do not know how old Udell was when he married her. Her Will might resolve this question of whether they had any children. With referencetA para 2 of your letter of 2nd Sept. and the question of the slaves,the extract of the �uplin County Court records for January 1790 refers to slaves being divided between Penelope, Catherine and Henry children of James McCULLOH. I agree that our information 14 that Henry Eustace, son of James and Elizabeth was not born till 1806, but they had a daughter Henrietta; could your searcher who abstracted the Court records have read an abbreviation of Henrietta as Henry? If so this would bring things back into line. For my part I incline to the view that the James who died in Rowan Countyin 1816 and whom I estimate was born (in America?) about 1750 is the James referred to in Henry's Will of 1779. Our problem is that that Will does not define what relationship (if any) that James was to him (Henry McCULLOH). I think the answer (if there is one to be found) probably lies in America. Apart from looking for a record of Henry Eustace's burial and possible memorial and for a Will of Udall/Udell McCULLOH I will not do anything more at this end until I hear from you. I enclose an accoubt to cover the work referred to in this letter and will let you have the photo -copy of Henry Eusatce's Will when I get it.

I can do the work you want but before be;inning I think I should let you know about costs so that you can consider the position form that standpoint and also seek some additionsl information as you may be able to provide from' -the American end. My current fees are 2,3.50 per hour and necessary disbursements, that is such charges as I have to pay in order to get access to records, get ce_-tified or other copies and so forth, together with a share.of travelling costs as appropriate. My'usual method of working is to invite an initial funding dependei_t upon the nabuse of the research:�s required, to make initial researches within or close to that funding and to make a report together with recommendations for continuance of the work as seems appropriate in the light of the findings. This enables you to keep in touch with the work and to control expenditure as may be required. If this suits you I suggest you let me have an initial funding of L30 or so and I will then proceed as outlined above. In order to save delays involved in exchane of correspondence I will pmt my enquiries for additional information to you now. (a) Can you provide me with a family tree covering 2 ;generations of descent from Nathaniel HOULTON of Pennsylvania as described in your letter, i.e. details of Nathaniel HOULTON and his wife (she with the 6 children) and their own children? and such as is known about their marria es and children, viz Nathaniel's grandchildren? - 2 - (b) Do you know: (1) The widow's original maiden name?, and (2) Her married name when she was widowed and married NAthaniel? I keep pretty busy so if .you do wish me to work for you,I would be grateful if you would let me know without much delay. I shall look forward to hearing from you.

Fenton 83 Hersham Road Walton -On -Thames Surrey KT12 5NU England Dear Mr. Fenton, Please excuse my not answering your letter of February 21 sooner. In the future I promise to be prompt. My step -daughter died suddenly of a heart attack the first of Marcl• and I put aside my genealogical records and work for a period. She was far too young to die of a heart attack and I was quite upset about the whole thing. I am happy that you are going to undertake finding my ancestors. My initial check for $75.00 is enclosed. I will enclose what I know about Nathaniel Houlton. Family tradition has always been that we came from England but on my own I have not been able tv come up with a clue as to where. For ages I worked on the.assumption that he came from the Wiltshire Houltons (Holtons). Their families had a lot of Nathaniels and a lot of Johns but I couldn't get them to fit, hence no attempt at documentation. I read Mr. Boucher's history of the Houltons carried in the Wiltshire Notes and Queries which a friend obtained for me from our National Archives, but I couldn't get them to match. I was so excited when I found christening at All Hallows The Great on Bread Street. The dates seemed to fit. Alas, when I read further they turned out to be the Houltons in Wiltshire. (A Houlton in Wiltshire left money to that church and when I checked the dates of birth on their pedigree sheet, they were the same - so I was back where I started from. At Nathaniel Houlton's marriage to Martha Miller Jordan, John Houlton attended - though he was not a Quaker. I believe he was Nathaniel's brother.

McNeill, BA DLS ATCL ALA The Library Librarian & Keeper of the Records Middle Temple, London EC4Y 9BT Telephone 01-353 4303 INQ/NIC/KJ - 20 July 1981 2 J U L 198 Mr W J F Fenton 82 Hersham Road Walton -on -Thames Surrey KT12 5NU Dear Mr Fenton I refer to your letter of 24 June concerning Henry Eustace McCulloh. There was a member of this Inn of that name. He was admitted to Middle Temple on 27 June 1757 and called to the Bar on 20 June 1760. He was the only son of Henry McCulloh of Turnham Green, Middlesex, described as 'esq'. This is all we have on him as our records are of the Inn rather than of individual members of it and anything we have on them is as it concerns their association with the Inn. The phrase 'regularly called to the Bar' seems strange. As I am sure you are aware, call to the Bar is the conferring on suitably qualified students of the degree of barrister -at -law, enabling them to practise as barristers. So this only occurs once. If you wish to know what chambers he may have been in, you could look at the relevant law lists which are available in the main reference libraries. Yours sincerely o l � a U � a d L CJ.
