The Loghrin Family History (http://www.loghrin.info/tree/p7.1annlog.html)

Ann (Agnes¹) Loghrin, b. ~1816 - d. 1848 wife of James²

On Apr. 19, 1833 a marriage bond was issued for James McCullough, yeoman, and Ann Loghnin [sic], spinster, both of Eramosa Township. The bondsmen were Matthew Crooks, Esq., and Silas Brad Winters, yeoman, both of Ancaster Township. The witness was Daniel Reynolds. The exact date of the marriage remains unknown.

James was the second of 12 children born to Patrick McCullough and Mary Hamilton. Patrick and Mary were born in Ireland or Scotland but were married in Ireland about 1800.* Some of their children were born in County Monaghan, Ireland as were the children of the Loghrins. They homesteaded the west half of lot 15, concession 3. Patrick, who died in 1849 at the age of 80* years, is buried in the same plot as James and Ann in the McCormick Cemetery, Eramosa.

In 1838 Ann and James were among the founding members of the The First Presbyterian Church in Eramosa (Barrie Hill church); Ann's father was an elder there. There is no record of other McCulloughs being members in that church. In fact, many McCulloughs appear as members of Methodist Churches in Eramosa^^; however, they may not have been descendants of Patrick and Mary.

In 1838 William Alford and his wife, Martha née McCullough, sold their east half of lot 17, con. 2 to Ann McCullough for 123£ and moved to Alamo Township, Michigan; Martha was James' sister. Ann's older brothers, James and Thomas Loghrin, witnessed the transaction. James farmed this lot and the east half of lot 15, concession 2 according to Eramosa Assessment Rolls from the 1830s.
