Isaac McCullough Born: 1717

James McCullough* Born: 1719

Virginia muster rolls indicate that Isaac and James served in the Virginia militia in 1742 under Captain John Christian. Thomas also served in the Virginia Militia under Captain John Smith. Thomas was killed in the battle of King’s Mountain in South Carolina on October 3, 1780. The battle at King’s Mountain was an important victory for the American colonist and is said to have been the turning point in the war for independence. Isaac later moved into the area of what is now Hawkins County, Tennessee and many of his descendants are still living in that area. James married and had a son, William McCullough. William was born in 1740 and married Ann Eve in 1761.
