If the above be correct, he had thirteen children in all—"a.

says twelve, but there appear to have been thirteen. Probably -

Fredon, New Jersey, but now of ,Lincoln, Nebraska, has the fullest!
account of these descendants. But it does not come within the
scope of this work to trace them farther. '
I have said the Hankinsons were of English descent (p. 172).
If so, they likely came from Middlesex County, England. where
the Hankinsons have the following coat -of -arms: "Ar. a fesse gu.
fretty or, betw. three ducks sa. Crest a demi-phoenix, wings•
elevated or, issuant from flames. Motto Vi et animo." (Burie's
Gen. moi, 4S=•) Singularly, the motto, Vi s•i ammo, "By
Strength and Courage," is the motto of both the Hankinsosr and
McCullough Families. (Fairbank's Crests. Vol. I, p. S97•)
I cannot undertake to trace the American Hankinsons back
to these English Hankinsons, but give the foregoing facts for what
they are worth. as they may interest somebody.
I have had great trouble in fixing these Hankinson data as
well as I have, and can do no better.

teams. (This from War Department and Pension Office Records,
Washington. D. C.. in a report made by himself. Corroborated by
an order from Colonel West dated March S. 2778, and by affidavits
of Daniel Vliet. Michael .4lyers, Jacob Petty, James Gardner, and
Peter Winters. who served with him,) After the war he became
Lieutenant Colonel Lower Regiment Sussex Hilitis, June S, 2793:
transferred to Third Regiment, and resigned November x3, 1893;
and was always called "Colonel" t McCullough 4fterwards. (See
Officers and hien of New Jersey in Revolutionary War by N.
1872. PP. 401-849•)
After the war he made application for pension (No. 18,504)
September 4. 1832, and was granted a pension at the rate of $329
per annum. which was afterwards increased to $480 per annum.
He was an earnest friend of all public improvements and especially
of education, and gave the Iot for a public school at Washington,
Warren County. New Jersey, and with others caused the first
school -house to•be erected there.
He was the son of Benjamin McCullough, who was a captain in
General Heard's Brigade, New Jersey Line, June r4, 1776, and after-
wards captain in the First Regiment, Susarae Militia, May 24. 1777• .
Benjamin McCullough was of Scotch -Irish ancestry (a Pres.

County Tyrone or•Antrim, with the Maxwells, Kennedys, Stewarts,

and widow of William Henry or Heanrie. and owned over a thou-
sand acres of land in said Greenwich Township, and Readington
Township adjoining in Hunterdon County. On October 19, 1787,
she conveyed to a+Iichael Heanrie, of Readington. and William
Bishop, of Greenwich. Boo acres, in trust for her children by her
first marriage until they became twenty-one, to wit: Arthur,
Michael, Nathaniel, Jane, Elizabeth, and Sarah Heanrie. Evi-
dently this was in anticipation of her second marriage. to Captain
Benjamin McCullough, which I conjecture was about 17S7 or
1758, as their first'ehild, William McCullough. was born 1759. In
.1763 Captain Benjamin McCullough lived at or near Bloomsbury,
in said Greenwich. Township, and owned the mill property, and
several valuable farms in the heart of the Museonetcong Valley,
and had' already become a man of importance there. Was a
farmer, miller, and general man of business.
I think he was in the French and Indian war. but am not
sure of this. His name appears first in Mansfield Township in
17S4. He was a member of the Committee of Safety of -his Town-
ship and County in 1775! member of Assembly New Jersey, 3778-
1779, and Freeholder of his Township, 1781-1784. There was also

McCullough. I do not know, but conjecture he was a brother. He
(B. MCC.) lies. buried in .the old graveyard of the Presbyterian
church in Greenwich Township, near Stewartsville. Warren County.
New Jersey, and the inscription on his tombstone is as follows:
In memory of
Bsrqu MCCULLoues
who departed this life
March :7. 3789,
In the SSth year of his age..
My flesh shall slumber in the ground,
• Till the last trumpet joyful souw..
Then bust the chains with sweet surprise,
And in my Saviour's image rise.
He died intestate; his administrator was his son William,
who filed no Inventory or Account—to save cost and expenses,
probably. Doubtless his estate was divided equally between his
son William and his daughter Hannah Cook amicably. His Let-
ters of Administration were dated June 13, 1789• (See Records
of Secretary of State's office. Trenton, New Jersey.) The estate
of his wife likely descended to -the two children the same way.
No Will of hers on file there, either.
His son. Colonel William McCullough, after the Revolution.
about 1784. settled at Asbury, New Jersey, thea called Hall's
Mills, and assisted in building the Methodist Episcopal church
there in 1796. Its corner -stone was laid August 9. 3746, by Bishop
Francis Asbury, and soon afterwards the name of the town was
changed from Hall's Bills to Asbury in honor of the good Bishop.
A Methodist Society seems to have existed there much before
then, however. In 2786, two years after Colonel McCullough
came to Hall's Mills, he was converted to Methodism under the
ministry of Revs. John McCloskey and Ezekiel Cooper, and im-
mediately connected himself with said Methodist Society—having;
been bred a Presbyterian, as all his family. The Methodists had
no church yet, but worshipped in private houses. and it was not
until t796, ten years afterwards, that they had grown strong
enough to erect a Methodist church. It was thea done largely
through the influence and liberality of Colonel McCullough The
deed for the church is dated August 8, t796. On August 7. Bishop
Asbury preached in Trenton. and on August 8 rode on horseback

The Budds abound both in Philadelphia and South Jersey.
But the only one we knew much of was Samuel W. Budd, who
married Ann McCullough (p. 13S). She died soon afterwards. and
he sorrowed greatly over her. He lived at Pemberton, New Jersey,
and used to come to Asbury frequently to visit her grave. and
then always stopped at my father's. After we removed to Trenton
(1845) father went to Pemberton to visit him. He remarried to
Ann Tripp. b. = 7.9o, d. 1843, and had four sons and three daughters

other matters. It is from the "Life and Correspondence of Judge
James Iredell." . James Iredell was Governor of North Carolina
and afterwards United States Senator and Justice of Supreme
Court of the United States, and descended from the McCulloeba
of North Ireland. The ndme is spelled Cullo, McCullo, McCulloch.
and McCullough. indifferently, but all seem to have been of the
same stork. I have not been able to trace our Colonel William
McCullough to this family. but his father, Benjamin, came from
the North of Ireland, the same family names are common to all,
and I am of theopinion,that he was descended from or related
to them. At all events, I give the following "Genealogy," etc.,
for what it is wc6h :
The Genealogy. of Jaines McCulloch, Esq., of Grogan. from
Sir Cullo O'Niel, fust Laird of Myrton in Scotland, who was a son
of -the family of Clansboys in Ireland.
James McCulloch, of Grogan, son of William McCulloch, Esq.,
of Brandalstown, son of Alexander Laird of Myrton. son of Simon
Laird of Myrton, son of Henry of Killerar and Margaret of Myrton,
which Henry was son-in-law of Sir Alexander Laird of Myrton,
son of Sir Eleseus Laird of Myrton, son of Sir Norman Laird of
Myrton. son of Sir Alexander Laird of Myrton. son of Sir Gulfred
or Godfrey Laird of Myrton (who assumed the surname of McCullo)
son of S0,Cullo O'Niel, first Laird of Myrton.
" Membirs Relative ton the House of Myrton
'Abdut the beginning of the 14th century, the Irish. being
desirous' td shake ;off the knglish yoke. invited Robert de Bruce.
King of1Scotland, to assist them. and in case of success determined
to make •Edward ' de Bruce King of Ireland.
Edward de Bruce landed in the North of Ireland. at the head
of 6000 veteran Scots soldiers, in r3rs, and drove the English out
of Ulster, the first campaign. He then marched through Ireland
several times. and forced the English into their strongholds and
fortified places; but alwdys returned to Ulster for his winter
quarters. '
Edward de Bruce about 1316 preferred Cullo O'Niel to be
Captain of horse in his arrhy. In October, 1317, the -English and
the Scots fought h battle near Dundalk. and Edward de Bruce
was killed by ons, of the gentlemen volunteers named Maipars.
Captain Cullo O':Viel then killed Malpars, and recovered Edward

de Bruce's sword, and made good his retreat to Robert de Bruce's
army—not far away. King Robert retreated to Connor, where
he wintered his army, and the next spring abandoned all the Irish
posts, and carried his army back to Scotland. I
Captain Cullo O'Niel, and many other Irish officers of Edward
de Bruce's army, went with King Robert to Scotland, who there
knighted Captain Cullo O'Niel, and preferred him to be his stand-
ard bearer and secretary, of state; and gave Sir Cullo O'Niel lands
in Lorne, as likewise the lands of Myrton, and Achawan, which
comprehend Killerar and Ardwell in Galloway. Sir Cullo's charter
is dated at Dunstaffnage, holding in fee blank form,. the reddendo
being a rose to the King to smell ; at when he comes to Myrton.
Sir Cullo O'Niel died in the year 1331, and left his estate of Myrton
and other lands in Galloway to his eldest son Sir Godfrey, who
assumed the name of McCullo, and Sir Godfrey McCullo had his
charter renewed at Perth in x332, by David de Bruce, then King
of Scotland. Sir Godfrey died in r3S8, and was succeeded by his
eldest son Sir Alexander McCullo, who died in 1399, and was sun
ceeded by his oldest son Sir Norman McCullo, who had his charter
renewed at -Rothsay in 1400 by Robert the Third. King of Scot-
lAnd, and was knighted in 1429 by King James, and died in 1445,
aid was succeeded by his eldest son Sir Eleseus McCullo. who died
shout the year 1448. and was succeeded by his eldest son Sir Alex.
ander McCullo, who died about 1324, without male issue, and
was succeeded by his son-in-law' Henry, McCulloch of Killerar
and Margaret his daughter (which Henry was descended from
Thomas. second son of Sir Norman McCullo),-who got their charter
'renewed by King' James the Fifth in IS2S, and died about aS61,._

his eldest son Alexander McCulloch, who, finding his estate much
embarrassed -by family debts, borrowed some large sums of money
from a Doctor McCulloch in London, the repayment of which he
secured by heritable bonds, and put his estate of Myrton &c. into .
the hands of his brother-in-law, John McCulloch Laird of Ardwell,
designing that the rents thereof should clear his debts—and after
having fixed his affairs in such manner. Laird Alexander caste to

Ireland with his family to Sir Henry O'Niel, who gave him lands
near the main water; where he resided until his death, which
happened in 1643, and was succeeded by his brother. William Mc-
Culloch, Esq., of Brandalstown, who died , and left two sons,
to wit: James of Grogan and Henry of Brandalstown. John
Laird of Ardwell turned out a bad trustee to Laird Alexander
and his family. having bought up for his own use all the old family
debts, and heritable bonds affecting the Myrton estate, &c„ arid,
under color thereof, Ardwell and his family continued possessors
of Laird Alexander's Scotch estates•—and had a son named Alelc-
alader, who was knighted by King Charles the Second. But, how
William of Brandalstown came to submit to such frauds, I have
not been able to trace. '

James of Grogan, the last mentioned of that name in the foro=
going Genealogy, had among other children the three following:
William, James, Henry, and a daughter married to Charles Ma-
cartney, Esq., of Dublin. William had issue James (now of Cam-
dery, near Dundalk in Ireland, in whose possession the Memoirs
are, and from whom the copy referred to was obtained), who is
yet a bachelor. William, a merchant in Dublin, who is now' a
widower. By his wife (whose name was Coleman) he had three
children. now living—two daughters and a son—Henry (late Sec•

years, but emigrated to America, and settled in New Jersey, at
Six -Mile Run, near New Brunswick, Middl6sex County, probably
#.bout 1740 or t75o. Jacob'Piatt was born May tb. 1747. He was
• an ensign, first lieutenant and captain in the New Jersey -Line
during the Revolution, but resigned March 11, 1780. Having
married in 1779, this probably led to his resignation. He
served in the expedition against Quebec, and also at the battles
of Germantown, Brandywine, Short Bills, and Monmouth. and
claimed to have been present at the altercation between Wash-
ington and Lee at Monmouth. He became Judge of the Court of
Common Pleas in Essex (or Sussex) County, New Jersey, but in
1795 removed to Boone County. Kentucky, when hes also held the
like office for thirteen years. Here he acquired a large tract of
land, opposite to Lawrenceburg, Indiana. near the junction of
the Ohio and Miami rivers, and died there August 14, 1834, at the
age of eighty-seven years. He had six children, of whom Benjamin
McCullough and John Hooper became much distinguished. Ben-
jamin settled at Lawrenceburg, Indiana, but afterwards moved
to. Cincinnati, Ohio, where he became a distinguished lawyer and
judge.. and acquired a large fortune. His second daughter. Ara.,
bella. became the wife of Dr. William Budd McCullough. her
first cousin. referred to on P. 138. Her mother was Elizabeth
Barnett, daughter of William Barnett, a wealthy Virginian who
emigrated to Kentucky in 1798 and settled near Jacob Platt.
She (Mrs. McC.) left two. daughters, Elizabeth Budd and Arabella
Piatt. -The former married General Thomas Kilby Smith, a dis-
tinguished Ohio officer in our Civil War (1861-5). and died at
Philadelphia, Penna., February 16, 1899. She was a lady of un-
usual gifts. alai a poetess of =ouch abijity. She had fine taste in
music, literature, and art, and like her mother and children was
a devout and earnest Catholic, though with charity for all. She
left three sons and two daughters to mourn her loss. See P. 139.
John H. Piatt, brother of Benjamin Piatt. became a leading
merchant and banker in Cincinnati, and amassed a great fortune
for those days. In the War of 1812 he became a large contractor
for the Government, for the supply of our Western Army, and by
the depreciation of our currency was ruined and sent to a debtor's
prison in Washington, D. C., and died there in prison -bounds,
February 12, 1822. He had a large claim against the United States,

Mr. Henry McCulloh was the grand -uncle of the subject of .
this Memoir (James !redell). He and his son. Henry Eustace
McCulloh. especially. were destined to shape the career and deter-
mine the character of the boy (James Iredell). The former. at a
very early period. became connected with the Province of North
Carolina. He had been Secretary of the Province, and had been
appointed his Majesty's surveyor. inspector. and comptroller of
the revenue and grants of land; and speculated largely in crown
lands. It is said he obtained grants for about a million acres Of
land. It is further said, that subsequently his son. Henry
Eustace
McCulloh, settled his father's accounts with the Crown with so
much tact and address, as to retain 64,400 well -selected acres.
without the payment of a single dollar. About the year x736,
Henry- McCulloh began to introduce emigrants from Ireland to
occupy his lands, and soon the number swelled to between three
and four hundred. They settled at first in the counties of Duplin
and Bladen, but gradually spread westward. His fortune, which
was large, was greatly embarrassed by this enterprise, as he fur-
nished
urnished the settlers the means of crossing the Atlantic. He died
1778.Henry Eustace McCulloh. after the usual term at the Inner
Temple, was regularly. called to the bar. He came to North Caro-
lina about 1761, and resided here constantly until 1767. during
which time he was chiefly occupied as agent for his father, and
served as a member of Governor Dobbs' council. He was Collector
of Customs for Port Roanoke for many years. and had also the
honor of representing the Province at the several Boards in Eng-
land. his father attending to this business while he was absent in
America. . . . . He returned to England in 1767; but came
144
Mitliam Mc dullougb
again to North Carolina in 1772, where he remained until June,
t773. when he again returned to England. In 1772 he obtained
a .conveyance from his father of all his property in America. the
other children all being deceased. Judge Iredell became his agent
in America. During the Revolution all We lands here were con-
fiscated; but he retired to a country -seat in the vicinity of Lon-
don, with an income of twelve hundred guineas per annum, where
he died.
So, also, on the confiscating of Tirconnell, and the settlement
of British colonies called the " Plantation of Ulster," in the reign
of James I, the following families are in Pynnar's Survey, A. D.
t6ig, as the possessors of Donegal: "James MacCullagh," etc.
(O'Hart's Irish Pedigrees, 1881, P. S49, in Boston Public Library.)
i On pp, x32, 133, I have said, that Hannah McCullough, daughter
of Captain Benjamin and sister of Colonel William, married Jacob
Platt in 1779, and removed to Kentucky. On the death of John
H. Platt, one of his descendants, some years since, among his other
effects there was found an old iron seal, with an ivory handle, with
a, coat -of -arms engraved upon it, that was supposed to be the
Piatt "coat -of -arms." It was that of a naked arm embowed, with
a hand throwing a dart. This old seal preseritly passed into the
hands of Colonel Donn Platt, of Cincinnati (now dec'd), and was
presented by him to Theodore Dehon Smith, son of General Thomas
Kilby Smith, and is now in the possession of Thomas Kilby Smith,
Jr.. of Philadelphia, Penna., his brother. In 1898.th sent
this seal, with the Piatt Family Tree, to " American
Armory," London,'England, for investigation, as no one here could
vouch for its authenticity. It was returned, with proof sheets of
all Family Trees concerned, and among others the McCullough
Tree, with the supposed " Platt Arms" attached, and the motto
"Vi et ammo." air. Smith thought this a clerical error, but after
looking the matter up, he discovered several McCullough Arms.
with similar crests and mottoes, that were so nearly identical with
this ancient seal. that he came to the conclusion, that this was
the Family Seal of the McCullough family. brought over from Ire-
land by Captain Benjamin McCullough, when he - emigrated to
America, and that said Hannah McCullough must have taken it
west with her, when she married Jacob Piatt, and emigrated to
Kentucky in 1799. These facts were given me by said Thomas
Zbe lRueling ramill
I
Kilby Smith, Jr., in a letter December 29. 1899, and also repeated
orally.
Since writing the above. I am bound to say, Mr. Smith has
notified me, that he thinks he was in error as to this "old seal,"
and believes it belongs to the " Barnett Family" of Virginia (pp.
133- 139). with whom they also intermarried. But I think I will
let it stand, as a good specimen of genealogical romance, and also
because I believe the %JcCulloughs are really entitled to some such
arms. As bearing upon the above, and of interest to many. I give
the following additional facts relating to the McCulloughs or Mc-
Cullochs, gleaned from different books in the said Philadelphia
Library and elsewhere, and submit the same for what they may
be worth:
