Individual Details
Secretary Henry McCulloch
(Abt 1700 - 27 Oct 1755)
d. 27 Oct. 1755
Henry McCulloch, was a British placeman who resided briefly in North Carolina. Little is known of his early life or ancestry, except that he was probably a cousin of Henry McCulloh, the enterprising land speculator, from whom he acquired over six thousand acres in North Carolina.
From 1746 to 1748 McCulloch was a naval officer at Cape Breton while it was under English control. He spent the next six years in England trying to secure another office from the powerful Duke of Newcastle. Appointed secretary of North Carolina, judge of the vice admiralty court, and a member of the Provincial Council in 1754, McCulloch served in these posts until his death. He left a wife, Mary, and four daughters, Henrietta Mary, Dorothy Berisford, Elizabeth Margaret, and Penelope Martha McCulloch.
James of Grogan had an unknown daughter by a first marriage who married a man named Henry McCulloch, Secretary of the Province and moved to NC. This Henry McCulloch died in 1755 and left a will.
Emigrated to North Carolina in 1719, where he was Secretary of the Province and a Councillor
A Scotsman. (Iredell letter)
unknown brother, father of Alexander McCulloh, mentioned as Henry McCulloh's "cousin".
Henry McCulloch was appointed in 1746 naval officer at Cape Breton, which had recently been captured, and held the post until it was handed back in 1748. He then returned to England where he was unemployed for five years, constantly asking the Duke of Newcastle for assistance, bemoaning his large family. Lord Halifax, the first Lord of Trade, was also annoyed with his employment requests. Finally Halifax promised to appoint him either naval officer of the Lower District of the James River, or secretary of North Carolina. He was appointed secretary in 1754 but only served a short time, dying October 27, 1755. (Cannon)

She also writes, "In the book "Carolina Cradle", author Robert Ramsay states that a James McCullough settled in Fallowfield Township, Chester Co., Penn. by 1739 or 1740 and went to North Carolina after 1747. (ref: tax lists) James recieved a land grant from Lord Granville on February 1, 1755, for 386 acres on the Catawba River in the Davidson Creek area. His two sons, Alexander and John, recieved grants in the Fourth Creek region March 25, 1752. Some of the grants were surveyed as early as 1749. James McCullough died in December 1757 and his will was probated in January 1758. His wife Elizabeth and son Alexander were named executors. He left land to sons Alexander, Samuel, John, and William, mentioning his grandson Matthew. Samuel received the homeplace, dying about 1771 intestate without heirs, so Alexander as the eldest brother then inherited the land.
Notes for HENRY MCCULLOCH (Epperson):
A letter written by Arthur Dobbs on 17 Mar 1755 from New Bern, NC, to Alexander McAuley in Ireland, "I last Sunday [16 Mar 1755] received y[ou]r favour of Aug: last by Secretary McCulloh who then arrived here, and Shall do any thing I can do for Aleck: McCulloh the auditor but at present there is no new fee Bill as the former was not repealed. However if any addition is made to the Bill next Session he will Stand for as he is Bro[the]r in law to the Speaker my friend Jack Campbell, the people here are much against the Auditors being Concerned in following their accounts and Indeed the place was not at all Suited for him as he is no accountant and does not Know the Method or what he ought to Check in accts. However I shall advise and assist him all I can if any other was in his Situation I Should be obliged to represent it to the Treasury or to his principal Hon: Walpole." The North Carolina Manual, 2001-2002, NC Dept of the Secretary of State lists Henry McCulloch as Colonial Secretary in 1755. James Murray was appointed acting Secretary of the Province of North Carolina in 1753 on the death of Nathaniel Rice. Murray served until McCulloch's arrival in 1755. A warrant was issued 21 Jun 1754, for Henry McCulloch's appointment as Secretary and Governor Arthur Dobbs certified his commission on 1 Jul 1754 while both were still in England before Dobbs arrived in North Carolina to replace Governor Gabriel Johnston who died in 1752. McCulloch qualified as Council member on 25 Mar 1755. but does not appear to have acted as Secretary until April.
The minutes of the Executive Council of NC for 25 Mar 1755,state "Henry McCulloch, Esqr, appointed by His Majesties Royal Instructions a Member of the Council for this province Appeared and took and Subscribed the several Oaths by Law appointed for Qualification of Publick Officers, as also the Oath of a Councellor, and then took his Seat at the Board accordingly." Henry McCulloch was present at the meetings of the Executive Council on 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 and 31 Mar 1755; 29 Apr 1755; 1 May 1755; 24, 29 and 30 Sep 1755; and 3, 9, 10 and 13 Oct 1755. During this time period he missed only 3 meetings two in August and one on the 27th of September. Nor was he present at meetings of the Council on 14 and 15 Oct 1755. [Colonial Records of NC, 2nd Ser; Vol IX; Raleigh, NC; 1994; pp 5-8 and 11-14]. Apparently he became ill on the 13th or 14th of Oct, and by the 25th of Oct 1755 he was not expected to survive. He had his will prepared and he signed it on 25 Oct 1755.
North Carolina Historical Review, Vol. 31 (1954), pp 517-528 describes the Vice-Admiralty Court of North Carolina: Seven men held the office of judge of the North Carolina vice-admiralty court in the thirty years between 1729 and 1759: Edmond Porter, Edmund Gale, John Hodgson, Joseph Anderson, Francis Corbin, Henry McCulloch, and William Ross. With the exception of Henry McCulloch they were all appointed by the governor and council. (Henry McCulloch’s commission, dated December 6, 1754, from the High Court of Admiralty of England is printed in Saunders, Colonial Records, V, 617-621.) The procedure was, in theory, that the governor and council could fill vacancies when they occurred, but the appointments were subject to review by the High Court of Admiralty of England. In 1743 Joseph Anderson suggested to the register of the High Court that since the governor had appointed him judge he would be pleased to have a commission from the English court. This practice of applying to the English court evidently vanished, for in 1767 Governor William Tryon wrote that the court consisted of a judge “... appointed by the Governor, a Register and a Marshal appointed by the Judge, and all hold [office] during pleasure. After 1749 only Henry McCulloch held additional offices during his tenure as vice-admiralty judge, and his term as judge of the court was short. It is not only coincidence that the stormy days of the vice-admiralty court were those in which the principal officer also held other important governmental posts. The local court attempted, whenever possible, to adjust matters to meet the convenience of persons involved in litigation. In 1755 Robert McCordy, the master of the sloop Ranger of Boston, wrecked his vessel at Corebanks. At his request Judge Henry McCulloch condemned the sloop and ordered a public sale so that McCordy could take the proceeds to the owners in Boston. McCulloch first ordered the sale at Edenton, but the captain of the Ranger successfully petitioned him to allow the auction to take place near Core-banks to save the expense of moving the sloop to Edenton.

Mrs. Fouts’ extracts from Chowan County NC Deed Book R #2:484-486. She says:
On 1 August 1770, Job Parker was disowned for "marrying out of society" in Perquimans Monthly Meeting. His first wife's name is not mentioned in the Quaker records, but it is revealed in a Chowan County deed from Job Parker to Joseph and Elizabeth Margaret Meredith of Hampton VA. This deed is incorrectly listed in the Chowan County Grantee Index as "James McCulloch to Mary McCulloch." It is extracted here:

Penelope Parker's estate was still in the legal system as of 26 March 1788 when Joseph Meredith submitted the following document: "Inventory of Penelope Parker's estate according to my calculations is four hundred and twenty seven pounds one shilling & nine pence three farthings Sterling money and now in the hands of William McCulloch Esqr of the City of Dublin, March 26th 1788. Joseph Meredith was Penelope's administrator.
Penelope Parker was more likely dead late in 1771 as Job Parker "condemned his outgoings" and was reinstated in Perquimans Monthly Meeting on 1 January 1772. . . .

From the above document it appears that Henry McCulloch arranged with his oldest brother James McCulloch of Camly, Armagh County, Ulster to handle his New South Sea Annuity, a stock issue against the National Debt of England. The Old South Sea Annuity resulted in a bubble in the 1720s which brought the stock value crashing. The New South Sea Annuity seems to have been more successful
