Robert McCullough b. about 1784-1789 in North Carolina. He was the son of John
McCullough.
Robert married Polly Modrell on January 9, 1809 in Pulaski County, KY. Polly born
1780-1790 NC and died 1840-1853 in Owen County.
The McCullough families migrated to the Owen County area sometime between 1825-1829 based
on the births of children.
They settled in the Montgomery township area near the Surber neighborhoods.
HOWEVER, Robert began selling off land around 1839 into 1845.
There is quite a lengthy land agreement between William Gwinn and all of the children of
Robert & Polly McCullough.
This document was dated March 4, 1853 and all the children and their spouses signed it.
This gave reason to think that Robert McCullough and his wife were deceased by that time.
I am searching to find out just what happened to these children as after that date most of
them vanished.
Any info on the following children would be appreciated.
