Author: Michael B. GUnn
Born in 1756-7 in Edinburgh, Scotland to Robert McCullough. He served as a Private in Captain Henry Graham’s Company of Washington County, Pennsylvania Militia in September 29, 1781 and again with the 4th Battalion on March 1, 1782. He Married Jane __(1765-1835); children: Robert, William, Alexander, James, Anna, John Margaret, Mary, Peter George and Samuel. Robert was a devote Presbyterian and was one of the first elders of Crabapple Presbyterian Church organized in Wheeling Twp., Belmont Co., OH. The family came from Washington Co., PA about 1800 to Jefferson County, OH. On January 1, 1808 bought 101 acres in Cadiz Twp., part of Section 10, Township 9, Range 5 which became Athens Township, Harrison County on the Flushing Twp., Belmont County, OH line where they lived the rest of their lives. He was a farmer who died on June 17, 1823 and buried at Crabapple Cemetery, Belmont County, OH. Inscription: In Memory of Robert McCullough who departed this life June19, 1823 in the 67 year. "My flesh shall slumber in the ground till the last trumpets joyful sound then burst the chains with sweet surprise and in my Saviors image rise." Cemetery notes and/or description: Crabapple Church and Cemetery are located in Wheeling Township, Belmont CO., OH, about two miles south of New Athens and a short distance north of Uniontown. The first nucleus of the Crabapple Presbyterian Church was gathered as early as 1799 by Rev. Joseph Anderson. It’s one of the oldest cemeteries in the county and is near the Harrison County, border. It is on Zeyer Rd., CR 96, north of Uniontown, off SR 9, in an area of reclaimed strip mines. The original Presbyterian Church here was the first and largest in Wheeling Township. In 1803 Robert and William McCullough helped to organize the church. The first sermon was preached by Rev. John Rea, to a congregation of forty members, which included the McCulloughs, McKibbons, Campbells, Snedekers, Brokaws and Merritts. Crabapple Cemetery is also known as Crabapple Presbyterian Church Cemetery. The cemetery is 3.27 acres and dates from 1806. The cemetery is well kept but many of the stones are no longer readable.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
