| In America |
This page is about William McCully.
In America he married Mary Smyth in St. Louis in 1864, built a bridge across the Mississippi, revisited Ulster in 1901, landing back in New York the day McKinley was shot. His youngest, Isabella, was my paternal grandmother. Brother Samuel likewise prospered in the midwest. He moved from Pennsylvania to Illinois, working for land rather than money, became a major land owner, and died peacefully in Peoria. I'm looking for the other brothers. I can share family photographs of William's family and a written history of Samuel's family down to 1960. Just e-mail me at the address at the bottom of this page. | |||||||||||||||||

Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul; the blueprints of your ultimate achievements. -Napoleon Hill William and Samuel McCully came to America with brothers Alexander and Thomas in 1861. They sailed from Donneghadee in County Down, leaving parents, an eldest brother and several sisters in Ballyhae. Samuel left behind a daughter who joined his new family in America when she was 16. I have a photograph of William and Samuel's parents taken in the 1890's and letter in their mother, Mary Stuart McCully's, hand. She wrote phonetically, as she spoke, thus revealing her Scots-Irish accent. | In Ulster | |||||||||||||||||
