Individual Details
James McCulloh
(Bef 1746 - Feb 1816)
James McCulloh was left an orphan in infancy, he was brought up by his paternal grandparents, who belonged to the nobility. He came to America and located in Duplin County, North Carolina. When leaving England his aunt, Amy McCulloh, told him that she would remit to him fifty pounds sterling each year. This she did until his death. His first wife Mary died when their children were quite young, they were raised by her mother, Catherine Taylor. James married again. There were four children from this second marriage, - Elizabeth, Amy, Alfred, and Penelope, so he had two daughters with the same name. The first Penelope (Catherine McCulloh Barfield's sister) had died long before the half-sister was born, however. After his second marriage James lived in Roan (sic) County, about 200 miles north of Duplin. He visited his daughter Catherine once every seven years until he became too feeble to travel, and then Catherine would visit him, making the entire trip on horseback (Pauline Craig Hughes family memoirs).
Copies of original deeds address James McCulloh as planter or gentleman; not Esq. The term Esquire is a term of art more than anything else. It was used interchangeably with Gentleman or Gent or Gentl. The basic issue is land ownership. If you owned land you were not a laborer. A land owner of any “reasonable size” was a planter, a planter owned land and therefore was a gentleman, a gentleman was entitled to use the title Esquire. Esquire would indicate a slightly lower land owner than So and So OF Somewhere, because being “of” a place indicated that you held title to the property by charter from some “royal dude” or other.
James was mentioned in the will of his daughter, Henrietta McCulloh, on 27 Feb 1846 at Davie County, North Carolina. (Jo White Linn, Davie County North Carolina Will & Deed Abstracts Wills 1836-1900 Deeds 1836-1850 (n.p.: n. pub., 1973) page 11.) In 1887, John Lawrence (the husband of Amy M.) wrote, 'James McCulloh, a native of England, came to America before the Revolution and settled on the Yadkin River, in what was formerly Rowan County, NC. He was a descendant of the royal family of England, was a graduate of Oxford, and was admitted to the bar, but never practiced. He was an informed man of his day, and very wealthy, taking part in public affairs. As an excellent surveyor, he assisted in establishing the boundaries of many counties in NC. He was very liberal and benevolent.'

Notes
Birth
His father died in 1750, and Pauline's memoirs says "He was left an orphan in his infancy."It is possible that he was about 16 - 18 years old in 1754, when he would have "come of age" and could own property, due to the fact that Henry McCulloch wrote a letter December 12, 1754 to the King's Receiver of Quit Rents to pay money to James McCulloh which was due to his father. (NC Colonial Records 5:617)
Marriage
date estimated from birth of child Penelope, 16 Sep 1773.Military

He was in the Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge. The Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge was fought near Wilmington, North Carolina on February 27, 1776, between North Carolina patriots and Scottish Loyalists. The American victory helped spur sentiment for the revolution and increased recruitment of additional soldiers into their forces.
