Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letters in which you request the Revolutionary War record of James McCullough, of Cecil County, Maryland, and the War of 1812 record of Andrew McCullough who served as sergeant under Captain Patton.
There is no claim for pension on file based upon service in the War of 1812 of an Andrew McCullough, under any spelling of the surname. Such a claim is the source of data furnished by this office in regard to soldiers of the War of 1812. The record of only one James McCullough has been found in which it is shown that he was in Cecil County, Maryland, at any time. That record is given herein as obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, S. 36106, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
The date and place of birth and names of the parents of James McCullough are not given.
James McCullough enlisted in October, 1776, for two years, in Stafford County, Virginia, served as private in Captain William Washington's company, Colonel Darke's Virginia regiment, was in the battles of Brandywine, Germantown, and in some skirmishes locations of which were not given, and was discharged in October, 1778, at Fredericktown, in Cecil County, Maryland.
The soldier applied for pension July 7, 1818, at which time he was aged sixty-two years and a resident of Montgomery County, Kentucky. The claim was allowed. He died December 17, 1818.
There are no family data given in the claim.
