Information on Alexander McCullough
From "Carolina Cradle: Settlement of the Northwest Carolina Frontier, 1747-1762", by Robert W. Ramsey, pg. 115:
- Alexander McCulloh emigrated from Great Briton to North Carolina and settled near Halifax. He held the title of cacique and was councillor of the province. McCulloh was a cousin of Henry Eustace McCulloh and father-in-law of Thomas Frohock. In 1758, McColloh acquired 625 acres lying on Grants Creek two miles west of Salisbury. Three years later, this land was bought by John Frohock, who built saw and grist mills where the road leading northwestward from Salisbury toward the mountains crossed the creek.
